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.

Thorough and wealth of knowledge and caring.
I have never felt rushed. He always gives answers that are understandable. He is very thorough and methodical. He has a calm manner that has me leaving with a plan of action.

Dr. Karanian has been my Dr for many years. He used to be thorough. The past few years his office staff has changed frequently. Not sure if it’s his staff or him, or that I’m on Medicare now, but he does not return calls, refill medications, or follow-up when tests have been done. Seriously thinking of changing Dr.’s. I was in the medical field for many years and have never seen such poor service in regards to myself and others in my family.

Dr Karanian is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain things thoroughly. Recently with Teledoc video appointments he has been even more available and the session was excellent.

Great....when you can get in to see him or get him to return a phone call, otherwise pretty useless and aggrevating.

He is a really nice doctor and seems to really know his stuff. But his office is the single worst. I have had better service at the DMV. Prescriptions are never refilled, the waits are terrible, hours in some cases. . After hours response time..well,... I am still waiting.
