Dr. Carlson has a kind understanding demeanor; He explained everything he had to do to my leg to fix it quite well! And explained the road ahead of me with physical therapy so that I will become mobile again. I thank him and his staff for being so kind to us.

The medical tech were fabulous to me. When my visit was over, the young lady found a wheelchair and took me outside to my car and helped me in. I was on a walker because my right foot was broken.

Dr Jon Carlson has been my orthopedic surgeon since I was hit by a car as I was a pedestrian while working for the Census Bureau on September 28, 2020. I almost lost my life. I have had a rough recovery after being hospitalized for 108 days. Dr Jon Carlson has been with me since that tragic day in my life. He was there in Trauma Room 9 at U of L Hospital downtown. He did repair on my 9 pelvic fractures and he repaired my right knee trauma and fractures of my tibia and fibula. He also repaired a Hematoma on my thigh. He is now helping with my fractures in my back. He ordered an MRI but My pain pump obstructed the results. But my confidence in Dr Jon Carlson is 100%. Where I know he will figure a way to get my back taken care of. He already takes care of the pain I have in both knees. He has the best Professional ability. But I really truly consider him as one of my friends. Because he is so down to earth and does not talk medically over my head. He is very invested in my care and recovery. I thank the Lord for his abilities and the fact he was available to care for me on the worst day I have ever experienced in my life. Because of him and the other Trauma 9 Doctors & Nurses that day saved my life! The car that struck me, knocking me about 12 feet into the air, leaving me for dead on the side of the road as witnesses testified did not Stop. I lost alot of blood and was in shock and had other medical problems. I am thankful to U of L Hospial, Dr Jon Carlson. And more recently I transferred my care to Dr Ragahavan at BCC for my cancer care that I be also was caused by the trauma. Dr Ragahavan has been very helpful and so has his nurse Carol. I will see him this week after I complete another MRI and CT Scan for help with my cancer that Nortons Cancer Center was unable to assist me.

I saw Dr. Carlson due to an ATV accident where I broke my shoulder blade. He was absolutely amazing, he was very genuine, down to earth, did not make me feel, rushed at all, answered all of my questions before I could even ask them. I felt completely confident in his ability to help me during our first meeting. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr Carlson actually went above and beyond to correct my knee with this surgery. Although the last doctor did the work of saving my knee by putting it back together, the metal plate and screws he used weren't necessarily placed correctly enough for me to support my weight and thus, the procedure with the good Dr. Carlson. I'm grateful for Dr Carlson and his immediate team for helping me on my journey of healing well and I feel more confident now about moving forward and getting back to, as close as I can, having a since of strength and normalcy. Thank you.
