Prior to moving from the Tampa Bay area two years ago, I looked for an MDVIP doctor near my new home. Little did I know at the time how lucky I was to find Dr. Carson! Although he was not taking new patients, because I was a transferring MDVIP patient, he added me to his list of patients. His reputation was tremendous, and he had a long waiting list of people who were eager to join his practice. It seemed like everybody we met knew him or knew of his wonderful reputation! I felt very lucky.
However, I didn't realize just how lucky I was until Dr. Carson took me under his wing. Then I saw, first-hand, a modern-day Dr. Marcus Welby, M.D.! (The 1976 TV show about a wonderful, lovable doctor.) Dr. Carson "CARES"! He is the first doctor I've known in my 83 years that "CARES". I have known doctors that were very professional and knowledgeable in the way they treated me, but they never convinced me that they cared.
The fact he "CARES", is obvious because over the two years I've been his patient, he has learned so much about me and how I live my life; the good healthy things I do and the areas where I need to improve. Besides being my doctor, he is my coach to a healthier life.
Things Dr. Carson does that I have not experienced before: Makes appointments for me if I need to see a specialist (Which means I get seen before any other new patient to the specialist.); Calls me with the results of the specialist consultation and explains what they mean. If necessary, he asks me to come in for an appointment. When explaining things to me, he speaks in easy-to-understand language and takes as much time as necessary for me to fully understand the issue at hand. When I desire a same-day appointment, he is there for me! He values my time by always being on time for our appointments.
I hear from friends and acquaintances frequently that they really like their doctor, but the doctor's staff is not on par with their doctor. Dr. Carson proves that he values his patients by providing a "FIRST CLASS" staff!
