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.

Very Caring
I have see Dr. Karakousis many times now and each time I just felt he really cared about me. He treats the person and not just the disease. He never leaves the room until he knows you fully understand what the next steps are and why they are being done. He will go over all aspects of the procedure you will have and takes time to answer all of your questions. I feel very calm in his presence. He just removes all your fears.

Dr. Karakousis was the surgeon who performed my excisional biopsy which was used to diagnose my Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. From the minute I met him, until the second he was done performing my surgery, he was calm and professional and an extremely skilled surgeon. I would highly recommend Dr. Karakousis

Dr. Karakousis saved my life. He took a chance and God blessed his hands. I will be forever grateful to him for giving me another chance. There are no words to express my sincere appreciation. Thank You Dr. Karakousis. I can walk and go about my daily activities without assistance. I started writing encyclopedia articles for publishing companies and creating PowerPoint presentations to accompany textbooks. That's not bad for someone whose future appeared dim a few years ago! I'm so blessed!
