I saw him for the first time today in the ER and, as a retired nurse practitioner, I was thoroughly impressed with his expertise and helping, caring attitude.

Dr. Karsh has been my cardiologist for 2 years and, before that, he treated my mother for almost 15 years. He quite literally saved her life. He is knowledgeable, courteous, and willing to spend time discussing treatment and answering questions. He was extremely patient with my mother, who was in her 80s and had a hard time understanding about her condition.

Dr. Karsh has been my Cadiologist for almost eleven years now. I cannot say enough about what a comfort he is to me. I feel safe in his care and that is not easy to find in doctors. He takes time to talk with me and answers all of my questions, no matter how long it takes for me to understand him.
