Dr Kartis explains everything thoroughly and in a manner that you understand the situation. I have undergone a few surgeries with him, and have been satisfied with the outcomes and treatment with him and his staff.

I called Dr Kartis's office to make an appt. for a patient that was having a problem. Dr Kartis had just recently operated on this patient. The tone in which I was spoken to was very rude and abrupt. The person on the other end of the phone informed me she was his assistant. If I was calling for myself to get an appointment with this physician I would certainly think twice about it with the way I was treated on the phone. I would probably call another physicians office....and I believe that is a shame because the physician comes highly rated

Dr. Kartis was caring and thoughtful to me it seems what I have is rare and no other doctor was interested in trying to help me. He did and he came to see me everyday int he hospital and was so thoughtful to my family. I love him and would and have told everyone to use him if they need his specialty. He is the BEST!
