Dr. Carlson was absolutely amazing. He was so friendly and caring. He treated me like an actual human not a collection of conditions. His bedside manner was a breath of fresh air (pun intended since I had PFTs earlier that day!). He was kind and compassionate and I am truly grateful for his input on my situation. UVA has a real gem in him!
