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. Karasik is an amazing doctor and I highly recommend him! He saved my life(literally) and I will be forever grateful for the care I received.

I had an endoscopic ultrasound with biopsy/aspiration a few weeks ago. He is a very skilled and knowledgable doctor. This is my 6th procedure with Dr. Karasik and as long as I need to have this procedure done he will be the doctor I go to. I have cysts on my pancreas, scary yes but he has the skills to stay on top of it. He will clearly explain everything to you and give you sound advice. I feel blessed to have him as my doctor.

I brought my mother to Dr. Karasik. Dr. Karasik made me cry when he said the procedure i wanted to do could kill her. Well, she passed this morning, February 10, 2016. Dr. Karasik to do ERCP on January 12, 2016 scheduled in December.I brought my mom for preliminary bloodwork,and on January 11th 4:30 pm, the procedure was cancelled b/c Hrtford Hospital did not have the stent.Talk about waiting last minute.ERCP never done and a cascading of health problems began.
