Frequently asked questions

How much does Surgency cost?

Surgency is a free resource for patients. Surgical providers—who meet our listing standards—pay a flat fee to list on the platform. There's no commissions, referral fees, nor any ranking or recommending one surgeon over another. Surgency is patient-first.

Does Dr. Carlson do virtual consults?

Yes. Virtual or in-person consults are available.

Dr. Carlson is within my home province, can they provide me surgical services?

Dr. Carlson provides private services through Victara to Canadian patients, including Alberta residents, where those services are eligible to be delivered privately.

Alberta residents may generally pay privately for procedures that are not insured by AHCIP, including:

  • Rezūm Water Vapour Therapy
  • Vasectomy reversal
  • Circumcision
  • Labiaplasty
  • Vaginoplasty
  • Monsplasty

For AHCIP-insured urology services, private-pay access may be limited to eligible out-of-province patients travelling to Alberta. Patients should contact Victara to confirm whether their specific concern or procedure is available privately based on their province of residence and clinical needs.

What languages does Dr. Carlson speak?

English

What are common reasons for patients to see Dr. Carlson?

Patients commonly seek Dr. Carlson’s expertise because they may be exploring fertility after a vasectomy reversal, experiencing urinary symptoms related to an enlarged prostate and considering Rezūm for BPH, or considering private urology care while travelling to Alberta. Dr. Carlson is fellowship-trained in pelvic reconstructive surgery, voiding dysfunction, neuro-urology, and urodynamics.
