Dr. Russell E Carlson

Dr Carlson was a fantastic specialist who treated me with the very best care I could ever hope to get. I was transferred to Sisters because the small hospital I was in did not have a pulmonologist. I apparently inhaled something that irritated my lungs while resurfacing our deck. This caused a huge fluid buildup outside my lungs limiting my ability to inflate my lungs. Dr. Carlson listened, assessed and treated me thoroughly as well as conservatively, allowing my body time to catch up with the treatment he provided. I couldn’t be more grateful for the excellent care I received from him and his team, as well as the rest of the Sister’s staff. Blessings come daily with my regained ability to breathe deeply!

I was hospitalized with an collapsed lung. After a botched effort to insert a chest tube by emergency doctor and a successful 2ed attempt Dr Carlson was called in to collaborate. He took over my care and healing. Upon examining the tube insertion he immediately striped all the excess tape and gauze while shaking his head. When he finally getting to the tube he repositioned it much to my relief. The outcome was what he explained it would be. With out him I'm not sure I would have recovered.
