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. Karacic is very experienced, has a friendly and caring bedside manner and in addition to that he has an assistant who is readily available for any help a patient might need in scheduling a procedure. We have been going to Dr. Karacic for many years and originally got the suggestion to go to Dr. Karacic from our own very trusted physician.

I found Dr. Karacic to be very conscientious and caring. Specifically, the night before my procedure Dr. Karacic said he was reviewing my file, and he believed I needed a special drug that he had to order, so my procedure had to be postponed. I thought it was very thorough that he was reviewing my file for a basic, very common procedure. Further, on the day of my procedure Dr. Karacic was very kind and reassuring, both before and after the procedure. Overall, Dr. Karacic is an excellent doctor.
