Terrible practice. Even worse staff. No solutions, just the same thing over and over again. Then treats patients like garbage if they ask too many questions or are not allowing them to scream at you.

His manner is soothing. He listens to what you are saying and cares. He takes the time to fully explain the results of test. He is a doctor who doesn't speak down to you. His office staff and assistant are very professional.

If you need a good gastroenterologist look no further. This doctor is everything you could want. He has a great personality, he really listens to your concerns and answers all the questions you have. I had a colonoscopy this morning and was very fearful because the last time I had one (not with him) I woke up in the middle with terrible pain. Dr. Karakurum and his staff were very sensitive to my fears and the next time I need to see him I will do so without fear. Dr. K is the best!
