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. Karna is always friendly, takes time to listen and answer questions, and my kids love her! I highly recommend her!

Has been a doctor to all three of my kids. We love her! She is always very very patient and takes her time to talk to you at every visit. We wish she was a family doctor so that all of us could go see her!

Dr. Karna would (inaccurately) finish my sentences for me. She was standing in the doorway trying to leave before I had asked a single question. I asked one anyway. After a curt answer I didn't ask any more. As a first time mom I am in need of help and expertise. She did not even try to be friendly to my baby (she was very afraid of her) and seemed annoyed when I wanted to take a moment to calm her down. Overall, I found her to be impatient and uncaring. I will not make the mistake of returning.

Dr. Karna is the an excellent pediatrician. She always enters the room with her bubbly personality and greets the children with a smile. She takes the time to talk with the children before the exam to make them feel comfortable. She is very gentle and kind, we call her the baby whisperer. Whenever we have a question she never makes you feel stupid and answers it to the best of her ability. I would recommend to anyone looking for a pediatrician.

AMAZING doctor. She takes time to listen and talk to you about your concerns. She never makes you feel like you are asking a dumb question. She loves her job and it shows! I feel truly blessed to have her care for my daughter. I would recommend her to the closest friend/family member. I wish all doctors were like her!
