Dr. Carlson has been a great and trusted resource for our family for years. He and his staff are all very thorough and thoughtful and he provides the most up to date treatments. He is a leader in the industry and still able to maintain his level of personal care. His whole team takes the right amount of time for both treatment and explanation of our rehabilitation needs as well as insurance. I highly recommend Stadia Sports Medicine.

I like that Dr. Carlson is "present" when he is with me and takes time to review and explain

Great experience w/ Dr. Carlson - willing to clearly explain the issue and provide options on the next steps to take.

Dr. Carlson is very attentive and patient. He considers each patient as a whole person, remembering who they are and what is important to them. We trust his judgement and appreciate everything he has done for us.

After having issues sleeping for a long time, I went to see Dr. Carlson. He was able to rule out various issues and put me on a plan to see if things would improve. He also sent me home with home exercises first, to see if that would remedy the issue, before going down the more expensive PT route. I appreciated this approach to looking for the simple solutions first.

Everything went well. Daughters ankle already improved on strength

Been going here for awhile and keep coming back, not only for access to Dr. Carlson, but his team - Gaby, Derek (PT) and front desk! They make me feel welcome, are easy to communicate and schedule with.

This was a positive experience from the time we arrived!

Outstanding client relationship. Professional staff that cares and willing to get things done for you regarding paperwork. They explain treatments and examines, what they are doing as they are doing it and why. I was sent by the VA and this is hands down the best experience I've had with medical care regarding my injuries. This place is too good to be true, except that it is.

i feel that every thing that has been
done is very helpful. Everyone listens, answers my questions, and addresses issues.

Really seemed interested in finding the problem and solving it

Very happy and pleased!

Dr. Carlson takes the time to explain the process and my options. I appreciate the time he takes to make sure I understand the diagnosis and my treatment options. I've recommended many friends and family and they all report the same great treatment from Dr Carlson and the staff at Stadia.

Multiple members of my family have used Stadia and Dr. Carlson. My youngest daughter spend 2 years with foot pain before coming here where Dr. Carlson found a neuroma that needed to be removed. Other doctors seem to want to take the easy path. Dr. Carlson takes the time to actually find the root problem and get it fixed.

Excellent experience, he's friendly, detailed a nice guy!

Dr. Carlson and his staff are always very professional! They take the time to listen. The care is above and beyond! They are like family and they treat you as member of it.

Dr. Chad Carlson was very knowledgeble and understanding of symptoms/conditions of discomfort/painful body parts

Every touch was thoughtful and helpful. Extraordinary attention. Thank you.

I can always count on Dr. Carlson to do a complete examination and listen to my concerns. I have gone to Dr. Carlson and Stadia Clinic for years with knee issues. His diagnosis and treatment programs have kept me surgery free for years. The thoroughness, empathy and expertise at Stadia Clinic is top in Des Moines!

In the the past 10 years of seeing Dr.Carlson for various medical concerns, i have always felt his medical knowledge to be extremely high and the treatments to be beneficial. he has always shown concern and willingness to take the needed time with me to show the support needed. I would refer anyone to see Dr. Carlson as he is an excellent doctor.
