Dr. Kara saved my life and diagnosed me after 10 years of going from doctor to doctor- he is very very good at what he does and knows his stuff.His bedside manner is excellent and he does not push you out the door like most docs.

After eight years of being misdiagnosed and seeing many different primary MD's and specialists, I finally found the right doctor; Dr. Kara.I was pretty much non-functional and thought I would die like that. Although I was quite certain that I did not have cancer, as I had extensive labwork.Each time I was misdiagnosed, I presumed I must be crazy, as we live in the day of modern medicine and surely any intelligent medical professional could accurately diagnose me. So not true.My problem was thyroid and sleep disorder.He assured me at my first visit that I was treatable and he could help me. How refreshing.He is top notch and worth a long drive.I cannot say enough good about him.

Dr. Kara deals with the health of his patients, preferring to work with a person to help her/him understand and deal with a health situation. He is personable, up-to-date, and I would definitely recommend him to others.
