Briette Karanfilian, MD

Finally, someone who actually listened! I was recently admitted to Princeton Medical Center through the emergency room, and I feel incredibly fortunate that Dr. Briette Karanfilian was part of the team that took over my care. I’ve been dealing with a chronic medical issue for well over a decade, and it has been an exhausting, demoralizing journey. I’ve seen so many doctors who couldn't find any answers—I even had one tell me there was nothing more they could do and basically suggested my symptoms were a mental health issue. It’s incredibly isolating to know something is wrong and have it dismissed like that for years. Dr. Karanfilian was the first person in a long time to actually look past the surface. She and her team didn’t just brush me off; they dug into the details and, for the first time in ten years, I finally have some real insight into what has been going on. She is incredibly knowledgeable, but more than that, she treats you like a human being. She approached my… situation with such genuine compassion that it made a world of difference during a really difficult moment. If you’ve felt lost in the medical system or dismissed by others, I can’t recommend her enough. She is the doctor I wish I had found a decade ago.
