Ryan Carlson, MD

Psychiatry

What I Do

My philosophy of care is to encourage patients to adopt a holistic approach in their recovery from mental health conditions. This typically involves a combination of healthy lifestyle choices, therapy and medications. I emphasize patient choice, ensuring that individuals are well-informed about their conditions and treatment options.

I have a strong clinical interest in treating a variety of conditions, including psychotic disorders, mood disorders and substance use disorders. Additionally, I have a special interest in the use of clozapine.

Why I Love My Work

It is incredibly fulfilling to see patients recover from illness and go on to lead fulfilling lives.

Getting to Know Me

My greatest joy is spending time with my family. I also enjoy distance running, good books and time in nature.
