Wonderful. Knowledgeable. Thoughtful. Caring. These are some of the words that come to mind. Dr. Karoll is always available which is very comforting to me and an unusual for most doctors. She takes the time to know and understand my son at each appointment and my son has developed a trusting relationship with her. I would highly recommend Dr.Karoll.

Absolutely horrible. Knew nothing about my child (even though she had full access to his medical records) and after a grueling 3 hour appointment she decided he needed to be medicated for ADD (which he does not have). Also, prescribed a med that would potentially increase his seizures....I regret not filing a former complaint with the Board of Medicine. Be careful.

The best BHS for any child to see with ADHD/ADD in my opinion. She has been a Godsend for my twins.

It took 6+ mo. to get an appt. w Dr. Karoll but was so worth it. After several hours of various tests, Dr. Karoll diagnosed my daughter w/ ADHD. She explained everything to us & offered various treatment plans. Dr. K. conservatively prescribed medicine over the next two years until the right brand & right dosage worked for her. I cannot thank her enough with helping my daughter and I highly recommend her.
