Dr. Andrew Carlson, MD

About four years ago, I had an 11-hour brain surgery, tumor resection of a 6cm meningioma. This takes two surgeons, on the report they are Dr. Carlson, and Dr. Lewis. I met with Dr. Lewis several times before and after the surgery, who answered questions and explained the procedure and followup, allowing me to make confident decisions. Unfortunately Dr. Lewis left UNMH, and for the past 4 years, Dr. Carlson has been my doctor. I have not been able to speak to him during that time, even during scheduled appointments, I've never met him. There has never been an explanation, I meet or speak to people who say they are assistants, who then schedule the next appointment. My last appointment was today, and I've decided it is going to be my last appointment at UNMH. If necessary I'd like to speak to my doctor about the pathology report, which was unusual and added later by Dr. Lewis, and about the length of time between follow-up visits, which can't be scheduled that far in advance.
