I con­sid­er it an enor­mous priv­i­lege get­ting to be part of my patients’ life sto­ries when it comes to their health. I strive to lis­ten and under­stand, and to the best of my train­ing and knowl­edge pro­vide options for diag­nos­tic work-up and treat­ment.

"Dr, Larsen is always so good at knowing and diagnosing my problem. His office got me In right away because of the seriousness of the problem. He wanted me to follow up with a photo of the affected area to check that the antibiotic was working quickly. When It was not, he had me come back In right away to reexamine me and to add another antibiotic which helped a lot. Without his quick attention, I am sure I would have ended up in the hospital with a very serious infection. Appreciate Dr. Larsen so much."
