C. Jeffrey Carlson, MD, FACC

I met with my new MDVIP doctor for the first time on February 19, 2025. Making the appointment was easy and the staff member, Carmen, was very nice and professional. As soon as I finished filling out the NEW Patient paperwork,, I was taken into the exam room. The nurse was very nice taking my blood pressure. This is the first time I have had my blood pressure taken more than once in a doctor's office. The nurse/assistant took my pressure FOUR times at 2-minute intervals, both sitting and standing. This was AMAZING to me. As a patient, I usually rush into a doctor's office and my blood pressure is probably higher due to stress. By taking it four times, I had a chance to calm down, which I appreciated very much. The EKG nurse was very gentle and made me feel comfortable getting all the probes on and doing the test. The doctor came right in and was very eager to listen to me, ask questions, and give me his advice. If he needed more info, he politely asked another question to get clarification to what I was asking. His bedside manner was wonderful. I felt heard in a way I have not been with prior doctors. I would highly recommend Dr. C. Jeffrey Carlson to any of my family, friends or even strangers who may be needing a really GREAT doctor in Fremont, CA, or anywhere in the San Francisco Bay Area. Believe me, even a long drive to see Dr. Carlson is worth it. You will be very impressed and well-taken care of.

As a DDS in Fremont for over 30+ years, I am plugged into the medical community. You will not find a more thorough, knowledgeable & "out of the box" physician. Dr. Carlson has the best interpersonal skills, makes you feel comfortable and is a genuine human being. Carmen and the rest of the staff mirror Dr. Carlson. If you need a physician Dr. Carlson is the man to see!

Take-away from my initial meeting with Dr Carlson is very positive. He seems to be brighter than average and very personable. He had actually reviewed notes from my previous doctor and had meaningful questions and comments. He is sincere, warm, and not at all condescending or hurried as some physicians can be. Office staff also very good.
My only note for improvement: get a new profile picture! You are much better looking and more fit than the photo!

Basically saved my life.

If you need a Cardiologist you won't find a better one. I have been his patient for several years and have never had a complaint. He takes his time, listens, and not only gives good advice but explains his reasoning. He goes above and beyond to advocate for his patients with insurance carriers.

He is the best. Always reviews everything and takes a lot of time with you. I trust what he tells me and have been going to him for about 10 years and travel 3 hours to keep him as my doctor. I never want him to retire.

Without question, Dr C is a most kind, patient, and caring physician.

Wonderful cardiologist and primary care physician. Always up on current research and best practices, takes his time with you, and really listens. You always know that he cares about your health.

Excellent cardiovascular doctor. His prescription with large dose of fish oil along with CoQ-10 has greatly improved my health and quality of life. And it also has helped a lot of other people. Thank you so much, Dr Carlson.
