Our Team

Dr. Carlson

“As a Wichita native, it is such an honor to be joining the Redbud Team. I grew up in a large family as the youngest of six children. My mother was from California, my father was from New Jersey, and we landed right in the middle of the country in Kansas. My childhood was filled with memories of bike rides, library visits and friendly sibling rivalry. When I am seeing children for their well visits, I remember that so much of being young is the important interactions we have with the people we see every day: our family…”

More About Dr. Carlson

“I went away to college at Notre Dame, Indiana, and learned that I liked snow but not enough to be around it half the calendar year. I also worked as a housekeeper and camp counselor at a therapy camp for children in Michigan along Lake Superior. I discovered my two favorite things at that camp: my future husband Ben, as well as my love for working alongside children to help them enjoy each day and become healthier and more independent for their future ahead. All the children received speech, occupational or physical therapy at camp, and my four summers there provided a foundational knowledge and love of childhood development for me as a future pediatrician.

I came home to Kansas for my medical training, completing my general pediatrics residency here in Wichita. My husband stays home with our two girls, Lucy and Clare. Together, we hope to grow and play here in our community for many years to come. I look forward to taking care of your little ones as their pediatrician and watching them grow in so many ways!”
