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.

Disappointing results
Cardiac surgery results were disappointing. Valve replacement resulted in minimal improvement. After care was poor until moved to different floor. No explanation as to results.

Dr. Karpinski took over my 87-year-old mother’s case on short notice after the original surgeon left the Hospital’s employ. Dr. Karpinski performed an aortic valve replacement and double bypass with good results. Dr. Karpinski can be blunt with facts, but she was kind to my Mom and, frankly, we appreciated how forthright she was with risks and expected outcomes. Mom is recovering well with physical therapy and she says that she feels better and is looking forward to making plans again. Our family is very grateful to Dr. Karpinski for her excellent care and we highly recommend her.

I met Dr. Karpinski in June 2017 when I learned I had Major Cardiac artery blockage and would need emergency bypass surgery. I immediately liked her based on her explanation of my situation and the required surgery. During the surgery she kept my wife (family) WELL informed on my situation and progress through her staff. The Surgery was an outstanding success and my recovery is exceeding expectations.
