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 Karges and his staff are great. We have three children and they do not push vaccines on your children like others do. We have total confidence in him and his staff.

I am so glad our friend recommended Dr Karges to us. He gives sound medical and parenting advice that aligns with our family. He can about his patients, the parents and the decisions we make together. He doesn't judge or pressure into vaccinating and gives his experiential and medical expertise to support his advice. We are laid back and so is he. I highly recommend him!

Wonderful practice, from front desk staff to nurses to practitioners.Have been with them for almost 18 years and would not trust our 8 children to anyone else! Dr. Karges is warm, friendly, & knowledgeable, and listens to all of our concerns without making us feel rushed. In fact, he takes the time to build a rapport with the kids & their families, and is genuinely interested in them. He respects parents' rights to make decisions for their children without pressure or condescension. The BEST!
