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.

Horrible Doctor
We had a horrible experience with this doctor! He shouldn’t be practicing medicine. He clearly lacks all the characteristics of a good doctor. My wife had a workplace injury and without even inspecting he flat out rejected that there is any injury at all, His behavior was super rude and arrogant. He tried to portray as if she was faking her injury, He showed absolutely no sympathy and was full of attitude during the entire visit. I have never seen such an arrogant doctor. He is just bad apple in the field of Medicine that you should avoid trying.

Belittling & Lacks Basic Knowledge
Horrible experience. Absolutely no treatment plan or recommendations for pain management. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. I can see why he works in an urgent care. If you see him, please get a second opinion. Like others on here, my specialist confirmed my symptoms and diagnosis.

Worst doctor I’ve ever been seen by
Made up some of my medical history to justify his care plan, which was to do nothing. I needed restrictions for work as I cannot reach over my head. Dr Karre verified my lack of range of motion and then told me I was fine and could return to work without restrictions. He deserves to have his license revoked.

I would give him no stars if I could. I hurt my back at work and he told me it was a muscle strain. I believed him but when I told him that I had pain, numbness and tingling down my left leg, he told me "In your case, when you think about it too much you develop new symptoms". I went to a different doctor and found out I have a bulging disc. He's an awful doctor and I wouldn't recommend him to anyone
