If you call his office and ANY member of his staff advises you to go to the E/r - its a suggestion - not an order. We learned the hard way when wife was experiencing what she thought were complications from an endoscopy and was told to go to the E/r. After 9 hrs in the E/R she was told they were admitting her. The next morning Dr Karims "fellow" visits her in her room to ask why she was admitted, there is nothing for them to do. His office denies that they were paged by the E/R but I find it odd that they knew right where to find her in the morning. Nobody will take ownership. I wasted thousands of dollars on needless hospital admission, a worthless E/R consult and what will likely be a $1000 shot of morphine for the pain. And even if his office DID NOT know she was there, she was there for a reason and to not even examine or attempt to treat her or her symptoms was/is absolutely deplorable.

Dr. Karim is wonderful! His bedside manner is everything you would want your doctor to have-he listens, asks questions, offers sugestions, calm, soft spoken, respectful, professional, explains what is going on and makes you feel that you have his full attention and are truly important to him! You bet we would reccomend Dr. Karim!
