Health Notes

Dr. Carlson is a Doll

by editor on May 18, 2012

I just had to tell someone about the excellent care I received at the Methodist Women’s Hospital during a recent surgery.

Dr. Mark Carlson, OB-GYN

The staff was unbelievable and well-educated on what they were supposed to do. They were kind and appropriate in every remark and response – they knew their job. They were simply outstanding.

From the time I walked in to the hospital I knew I was in great hands. I received great care from Jan, Marissa and Carla. We are so lucky to have you in Omaha. I was very impressed with the “robot” and Dr. Carlson’s capabilities. He is a doll!

The beauty of a women’s campus is the doctors and staff are sensitive to the specific needs of women. The whole process for me worked like a machine – but I didn’t feel depersonalized.

I just sent another friend to the women’s campus and she had a great experience.

Methodist understands women.
