Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Karp and his staff are very professional and I would recommend him to anyone. Office wait is minimal. Outstanding Physician! He has been my Doctor since 2005.

Dr. Karp is a fine physician. He is courteous, attentive, listens to your concerns, reassures when appropriate and genuinely cares about his patients. His office is pleasant and his staff is friendly. Overall, he makes, what can be awkward, into a routine and professional experience. Even scheduling the necessary colonoscopy is really just another test. I highly recommend Dr. Karp!

I have been under Dr. Karp's care for 10 years and he has kept my UC under control. It's unusual to call me between 7-8 p.m. with test results. Always put on hold -- but everyone takes care of me. Michelle is awesome. My appointment wait time, which is always the last appointment of the day, averages an hour to an hour and a half. A small price to pay for Dr. Karp's care. I'm blessed.

Dr. Karp doesn't know what is going on in his office. My wife and I made several attempts in contacting office for information pertaining to surgery. Surgery was to take place in 4wks and took 6wks. This was only done because my wife presented herself at his office. office never made effort , let alone Dr. Karp. I felt being pass around to his partners for treatment. Office lacks communication skills and scheduling for surgery procedure.
