Education

He graduated from Brigham Young University with a bachelor's degree in 1980, had a major in Zoology with minor degrees in Chemistry and English, and graduated from West Virginia University with a DDS degree in 1983.

Professional Practice

He began his private practice in association with Dr. Michael C. Bailey. In November 1994, Dr. Carlson completed the 5 year process of becoming board certified in Endodontics and is recognized as a Diplomate by the American Board of Endodontics. In September, 1999, after ten years of being in the Valley, Dr. Carlson renamed his practice Superstition Springs Endodontics and moved into his current office at 6755 E.
