Dr. R. Troy Carlson, M.D.

Dr. R Troy Carlson is a board certified family physician. He is co-owner of Family Tree Medical Associates. Dr. Carlson completed both his undergraduate and medical degrees at Michigan State University.

Dr. Carlson has been a resident of the Hastings community since 1994. He has been an active leader and community servant during this time. He has served as both a deacon and elder at First Presbyterian Church of Hastings and currently serves his church as a member of the choir, Sunday School teacher, and Senior High Youth Group leader. He supports the Hastings Area School System as the athletic team physician. He serves as a current board member of the Department of Human Services and Thornapple Manor.

Dr. Carlson has worked more recently with Chaplain Gale Kragt to successfully develop and organize the vision of Spiritual Care Consultants to Western Michigan and his local community. He recognizes that the medical community has made great strides in providing healing services to the patient, however there has been a missing piece to the care provided, the spiritual component of a person’s being and therefore, health. Dr. Carlson is very excited to bring this aspect of care to the office setting.

Dr. Carlson is blessed to work with his outstanding staff at Family Tree Medical Associates. He invites all health care providers and patients to explore this component of health and incorporate it into our daily lives as we all strive to reach optimum health.
