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.

No bedside manner. Condescending and rude. Talks to you like a child.

I don't know
As always Karen goes above and beyond with her close monitoring of my many problems I've had over last several years. She answers all my questions and concerns as well as always referring me to the right people. Her pleasant natural demeanor puts you at ease as it's been a scary time.

Always thorough
Karen is one that always listens to what I have to say/share. She asks the right questions to get information from me that I may not have thought important. I never feel like just a number to her or her staff. She’s thoughtful and compassionate And works with you to figure out the next best steps if needed.

Best Doctor!
Karen has only been my PCP for about a year and I could not be happier with the care and compassion I’ve received. Everyone from front desk, nurses and Karen herself have such a friendly and caring environment.
