Dr. Carson was born in Detroit, Michigan and was raised by his single mother, Sonya Carson. He struggled academically throughout elementary school, but started to excel in middle school and throughout high school.

At age 33, he became the youngest major division director in Johns Hopkins history, as Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery. In 1987, Carson made medical history by being the first surgeon to successfully separate conjoined twins (the Binder twins) who had been joined at the back of the head.
