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.

Fantastic dr and staff

I can't tell you how grateful I am to have been referred to Dr. Karim. I live with EXTREME chronic pain, and she take the time to sit down and listen to my history and assure me that she would help me find a pain medication that would best suit me and has found something to prescribe me that really helps. She always takes the time to listen to me.

Dr Karim has turned my life around!! I came to her at the end of my rope, mostly bedridden, maxed out on opioids, and yet still in SO much PAIN. She listens to all of my concerns great and small, and she works WITH me to find solutions in order to manage my pain and to transition successfully to a different kind of pain medication. Since I’ve been off of the opioids, I’m no longer bedridden but can take care of my family again, exercise, and enjoy my family life. My husband feels like his has ME back again! We are all so happy and grateful to Dr Karim!! She genuinely cares for her patients and truly wants what is best for them... It is difficult to make changes when one hurts SO, SO MUCH, but believe me, if you follow her advice attentively and give her feedback right away as you transition, she will do everything she can to help ease the path, and when you come out of it you will feel like you’ve woken up to a life with more energy and less pain!! Thank You Dr Karim!!!

My visit is wonderful at every appointment. I am greeted with a warm and compassionate smile; and with a professional attitude. The assistants are very personable and caring which makes me very comfortable and respects each one to the highest. Dr. Shana Karim, right now makes me very emotional. She saved my life emotionally, physically and spiritually. She is very caring, listens attentively, compassionate, encouraging and very real. She tells you the truth, that makes you self-reflect where you are in life and what is most important, your health. I was in so much pain constantly, where it was excruiating and cause other medical problems. I followed her directives and moving forward in life. I reccomend Dr. Karim to anyone who needs realness, uphold true medical ethics.

I can't tell you how grateful I am to have been referred to Dr. Karim. After 20 years of EXTREME chronic pain, she is the first pain doctor that I have found to take the time to sit down and listen to my history and assure me that she would help me find a pain regimen that would best suit me and improve my quality of life. She is so kind and understanding, anyone that is referred to her will be extremely fortunate!

I’m so thankful and grateful to doctor Dr. Karim and her staff. Called the office due to an episode of excruciating pain and they were able to squeeze me in the very next day which is so rare to find other doctors who do that. . It was good to be treated with professionalism and care. Caring, smiling and laughing is good atmosphere for patients. When I say the doctor and all the other employees of there made me feel that I was in safe hands and even made me smile when I left. Best Doctor!

I recently started seeing Dr. Shahnaz Karim,after my doctor,Wali Gouher of Houston retired and I was really concerned that I would not be able to find a doctor that could give me the same care as my previous doctor! After seeing her for the first time,I knew I was in good hands and that this clinic and doctor would be my new home for me as well as my family! The clinic has a great staff that truly care for there patients! I love this place and I guarantee there is no better doctor in Houston!

Dr. Karim used to be my pain doc. Her office was always overcrowded, front staff was rude and the doctor herself spends 5 mins max before she sends you out the door. At first she seems like a very caring and great doctor but give it a few visits. She never kept me in the same med twice. I left in the end after being forced off my meds w/o talking 1st. I'm glad I left and found a better doc. I DON'T recommend her at all.
