Carson Kent S Md

Dr. Carson has treated my family for over 25 years and has failed to be unsuccessful each time. He was willing to give me Accutane when all other treatments had failed, despite my lack of success at other physicians' offices. He is kind, gentle, soft-spoken, very generous with samples and takes a great deal of time with his patients, caring for the individual as a person. My acne would have been disfiguring, so he has my vote of success for keeping me normal.

Dr. Carson is an excellent dermatologist and has tremendous experience to treat skin problems. Before I see Dr. Carson, I went to several dermatologist and no one can diagnose my problems. Then I found Dr. Carson and have seen him for more than a year. I get the treatment every month and my symptoms improved significantly over a year. I am very satisfying with the treatment results. Dr. Carson is very knowledgably and kind person. Every time I have some skin questions, he always has answer. Dr. Carson is very efficient, and needs spend only few minutes to diagnose and treat the patients. The office is clean and very tasteful decorated. His staffs are very friendly. I absolutely would recommend him to any one who is seeking for a dermatologist

My mom has acholinergic urtricrin - we know it now, before we saw Dr. Carsen no one could recognize what she has. We are very thanksful that now we know there is no reason for worry. Even if the treatment wont make the condition go away it is nice to know what this condition is. Thanks Dr. Carsen. No wonder Dr. Carson is very busy - he is a GOOD doctor. I wodnt hesitate to recommend him to anybody!

I drove a long way and took my son to see Dr. Carson for his acne problem based on reviews on the web. We are very disappointed. The wait was short and the front desk was friendly. But it took about only 5 minutes for the appointment total. Dr. Carson came into the room, barely even looked at my son's face, and started to write on his paper and tossed some samples to us. Then he offered the cortisone shots saying it's very effective without explaining to us any side effects. And that was it. He was gone. When I came home and started research on the shots, it was not good. The shots didn't help reduce the acne problem at all, worse, after two months now, it still left several hard and dark spots on my son's face. We did go back the second time after a month, the appointment was even shorter, about 3 minutes total. Eventually we went to a different doctor and so much nicer. I would definitely advice you to stay away from this doctor for acne treatment

Doctor Carson is the best of the best. He takes great concern and care in my skin condidtion. His follow up is wonderful. I even took my 13 year old daughter in and his tender care and knowledge is 2nd to none.

I went to Dr Carson because of his great reviews. I kept going to different derms for my psoriasis and he is the first to give me something that actually works , and give me an honest answer about my fingernails instead of a bunch of promises and oily creams. He also gave me a bunch of samples to try and rebate cards for prescriptions and when i found one that worked well i just called and he sent the prescription right to walgreens. Im a very happy patient!

I developed a rash that my regular doctor could not identify. Having HMO I needed to be approved by my insurance before seeing a specialist. Luckily my insurance approved it the same day and Dr Carson was able to see me. He ran lab work and did what he could. I left a message over the weekend and to my surprise he returned my call and even saw me that Sunday to give me more medication and ease my pain. He is awesome!! his office staff is very helpful too. Nice clean office

I referred a patient to him in Monterey who was weary about driving that far to see a dermatologist. No regrets! Patient returned to me and had nothing but great things to say about him. So good in fact that I saw him myself two months later. I now reside in Hawaii working for a Dermatologist. Whenever I have a patient leaving the island to reside in the bay area, I tell them to see Dr. Carson for all derm needs

Dr. Carson has treated my whole family at one time or another. He always spends time to explain and cares about what he is doing. I have been to many other Doctors in the past who just shuffle you out the door. Not him.

I had been to a couple of dermatologists prior to seeking out Dr. Carson, who took a magnifying glass to view redness on my skin, and then provided a very definitive, articulate answer to my ailment.

Since I had been to prior specialists who spoke with the same vigor and confidence, I was a bit skeptical. Once the medication started working and the redness subsided; it was sheer relief knowing that Dr. Carson had diagnosed and treated my ailment on my very first visit to him. Highly recommended.

I've been a patient of Dr. Carson's for more than 4 years and I am very pleased with each experience. With respect to office visits, Dr. Carson promotes discussions and takes the time to explain your situation and what his recommendations are for treatment. On a scale of 1-5 (highest), I would give Dr. Carson a 5.

This is an exceptional doctor that has a great amount to offer to his patients. He is to accessible and makes his medicine available to his patients if they are in need and if they want it as well. He has many specialties and will offer them to the deserving. A true humanitarian!

Our son developed a skin condition that required the care of a dermatologist. Because our pediatrican didn't have a recommendation, we had to just pick Dr. Carson off of a list, which was a little scary. However, we weren't disappointed. Dr. Carson handled our son very tenderly, explained to him in terms he could understand what was going to happen, and was honest with him about how it would feel. All of this put our son at ease and he was treated quickly with not problems.

Dr. Carson's staff is very helpful, and they give great directions to the office.

PROS: Good with kids
CONS: Parking is sometimes difficult
