I found Dr. Carlton to be argumentative. For example, I told her about my visit to NAH gastroenterology in Flagstaff and she rather aggressively questioned my description of the visit and the advice I was given. I told her my file should be in the system for her to review. Dr. Carlton was also unprepared.
