History
Early in his career, Dr. Carlson recognized the benefits of coordinating dental care with medical care to enhance the total health of his patients. He recognizes that there are many medical conditions which are impacted by the oral health of the patient. In 1997 he joined Dr. Jordan Kempler (a pioneer in the dental-medical treatment of disease) at Lutheran General Hospital and subsequently developed working relationships with physicians in many specialties. He continues to use evidence based treatments,supported by research, to provide the best total health outcomes for his patients.
