Retina Consultants of So Ca: Carlson John P MD

Dr. Carlson reattached my husband's retina, late in the day (we'd driven from Coachella Valley the Monday after Coachella Music Festival in bumper-to-bumper traffic and were 90 minutes late!) Dr. Carlson was SO sweet and down to earth-- someone you'd want as a friend. He didn't rush us and explained the post-care thoroughly. I'd highly recommend Dr. Carlson and the Inland Surgery Center, whose staff were phenomenal!

It is my great pleasure to recommend John P. Carlson, MD of Retina Consultants of Southern California. Put very simply, Dr. Carlson saved my vision. I had cataract surgery on both eyes the previous summer, and for the first time in my 73 year old life I had perfect vision! Then suddenly, my left eye gradually filled with protein deposits and floaters, my perfect vision vanished. I called optometrists and ophthalmologists to ask about fixing the problem and none of them were encouraging. But then I found Dr. Carlson of Retina Consultants of Southern California. I explained my problem to them and his staff made an appointment for me within a couple days, an extraordinarily short time! (Beaver Medical couldnt give me an appointment any sooner than 2 months away!) By the way, Dr. Carlsons staff are the most dedicated and supportive professionals in any office Ive been to. When Dr. Carlson examined my eye, he explained that a complex surgery called a Vitrectomy could remove the deposits and floaters from the interior of my eye. He cautioned me that it was a major surgical undertaking and there was no guarantee of a successful outcome. But he also said I was a favorable candidate for the surgery. Dr. Carlson performed the surgery earlier this year and the results are just amazing! The floaters and deposits are gone, and my vision has been restored. I can enjoy movies and I can drive at night, both of which were previously impossible. I can read books, magazines, internet articles with ease again. I have to give Dr. Carlson and his staff the highest recommendation possible. If you are suffering from troubling vision problems, I highly recommend you contact Dr. Carlson.

Very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Dr. Carlson takes whatever time is needed to explain the diagnosis and treatment. I'd recommend him to anyone needing a Retina Specialist. He caught my MD early, and luckily it was the wet variety. His treatment has restored my sight in that eye to 20/40. Thank you Dr. Carlson.
