Dr. Karst has cared for my husband and I since we were referred to him by a friend over 15 years ago. He is very prompt and has always addressed any issues or concerns we’ve had...he doesn’t blow you off like some docs! He really cares about his patients, and I feel confident in his judgment. Fantastic doctor!!

I am absolutely pleased and satisfied with the care and personal service I receive at Dr. Karst's office. His office staff and nurses are all EXCELLENT and very professional. Dr. Karst is very thorough and is never in a hurry to "exit" the exam room until he is sure the patient is comfortable with his exam and diagnosis and has no further questions. I hope to be a patient of Dr. Karst for a long time to come.

Dr. Karst is very good at diagnosing your condition. Dr. Karst is part of a group of physicians that are more interested in their patients than the money they make.Dr. Karst is a doctor who takes time to explain your illness or condition to you. The only thing that I am not pleased about Dr. Karst is his fixation on reducing your weight and exercise. He brings it up at my 6 months check up.

Dr Karst is among the shrinking group of physicians that put their patients health before personal financial gain. He's a great internist and you will not feel like you've been taken to the cleaners when you leave his office.
