Smart. Explains everything at length. Treats you like a human being. Obviously knows his stuff. I have always been able to get in same day or the next day if urgent and have not found his staff to be anything but congenial.

Most welcoming doctors office ever. Anytime I call with an emergency I’m able to get an appointment within the same day. The doctor is amazing, very caring, and is always willing to go out of his way to help in anyway he possibly can. Blessed to have such a kind and caring doctor!!

Horrible staff. They are rude. Never will follow up. The doctor is ok but his administration is awful. It’s hard to deal with them.

Dr. is great. Office staff is rude, incompetent, lazy and will not follow up with an answer if you have a problem that they can look into for you. I would give him excellent but because of this horrible staff I can only give him 3 stars.

Dr. Karakashian and staff make a visit to the doctors a wonderful experience. There are always smiles and courteous manners. Dr. K is very attentive to reviewing history and asking questions. His staff, especially Silvana, are extremely courteous and respectful.
