Dr. Karthi is an excellent physician who takes the time necessary to care for his patients and has genuine concern for his patients and their well being. After a long search, and going through several Dr's, I was lucky enough to find Dr. Karthi, and after a year in his care I am doing better than ever on less medication.

Dr. Karthi is an awesome doctor. I miss him because he left his previous practice to start his own. As soon as I find out where he is now practicing, I will be there with bells on!!
