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.

Wonderful cardiologist!! Highly recommend him.

I am thoroughly disappointed with my experience with Dr. Karim and the staff at Dr. Karim's office, particularly Aidee Canales. I arrived for my appointment on time, and was told by Aidee that Dr. Karim left on an emergency and would not be able to see me and that I would need to come back the next day. After I told her that I would not be able to return the next day, she was extremely curt, rude, and dismissive. This individual should interact with patients as she lacks the most basic skills

I found Dr Karim to be very professional as he takes time to listen to his patient's concerns and addresses them in a caring manner. He will do everything he can to help. His staff is also very courteous and responsible. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a cardio. I wish him more success in his profession.

I'm a lucky medical student who had the great opportunity to be one of Dr. Amin Karim's students. First of all he is a very professional doctor and very knowledgeable about the latest in treatment for heart condition. Secondarily, he answers all patients' concerns and has an excellent physician patient relationship , and he gives the patients enough time to speak. I highly recommend people to Dr. Karim and I encourage students to have a such great opportunity to be one of his students.
