Steven Mitchell Karp, MD

I recently returned home from overseas with a broken elbow. Within days I underwent surgery at Fair Oaks Hospital for insertion of wires and who knows what. Dr. Karp came to my pre-op bedside and clearly explained anesthesia options to me and to my husband. He was extraordinarily patient as we made our decision. I have two forms of cancer active in my body and this was my 10th surgery. Dr. Karp listened when I told him my post-anesthesia nausea/hangover history AND he heard me. I don't know what he gave me, but it was the very first time I didn't come up for air only to stick my head into a bucket for two days of puking. I can't fully express my surprise and my gratitude.
