Dr. Carlson is one of the small number of surgeons who is fellowship trained in both plastic surgery and surgical oncology. This unique skill set allows him to treat breast cancer and the damage it can cause, and he is the only surgeon in the Atlanta, Georgia area to perform both the breast surgery to remove the tumor as well as immediate reconstruction. He is also a leading expert in microvascular surgery for head and neck cancer patients.
Dr. Carlson's studies have afforded significant improvement in the outcome of breast reconstruction for patients with breast cancer, particularly his refinement of skin sparing mastectomy in the early years of the procedure. He was one of only a handful of surgeons nationwide performing the technique, and the improvements he made to its methods as well as his outcomes research contributed to making the procedure as common as it is today.

Dr. Carleson was an hour late to our appt (scheduled at 11:45, showed up at 12:45). He spent less than 5 minutes in the room with me. Told me I was cancer free, checked the drains, felt my chest and said that a nurse would be in to change my bandages. Then left. JUST THAT QUICK. I had a few questions to ask...that I didn't get to ask. Physical therapy? Hormone therapy? What's next? I guess this is how he "made up" the hour he was running behind. By sacraficing my own appointment! |

Dr. Carlson is wonderful. I became his patient in 2013 following a breast cancer diagnosis. Beginning with the very first appointment, I had complete trust in him and that trust has not faltered. I have recommended others to seek his care. He is still taking great care of me. |

Breast cancer and reconstruction are ideally met in a trustworthy physician with emotional sensitivity, excellent surgical skill and a genuine desire to fully understand and address the priorities and needs of each individual patient. Dr. Carlson continually strives to meet that ideal. I've had a few other top-notch excellent physicians over the years and he consistently ranks at the top of that list. He is in the generation that views medicine as a higher selfless calling, and it has been evident in every encounter and surgery I've had with him. I cannot imagine Emory without him, and it will be a huge loss to Emory and every patient in need when he eventually retires. If you are a new patient facing the uncertainties of breast cancer and reconstruction then my recommendation for you is to press hard-very hard-for the opportunity to have him as your surgical oncologist and reconstruction surgeon. He's simply the very best of the best and I could not be happier that I was lucky enough to unknowingly land in his excellent care. |

Dr. Grant Carlson is the best doctor I have ever had in my entire life. He takes the time to explain everything in a way you can understand, he always has great energy and truly listens to you. Cancer is stressful, Dr. Carlson has a natural ability to deescalate your anxiety and help you focus on the right solutions for the best outcome. I am cancer free - hallelujah |
