Dr. Karimi has helped me lower my A1C from 12 to 5.5... His calm approach to my issues is reassuring and gave me the confidence that I needed to tackle my high glucose readings. Dr. Karimi is a lifesaver. I have lost 75 lbs and have tons of energy. Dr. Karimi has given me my life back. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Karimi.

Dr. Karimi is the most attentive and personable doctor I have ever been to. He listens to my concerns and addresses each one, but the best aspect is that he, himself, returns my call or message. There’s no go between nurse or tech. I actually get to speak directly to him. That in itself is a game changer in my healthcare choices! In addition, I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes before getting called back and have never waited more than a minute or two for him to come in to the exam room.

Dr. Karimi is one of a kind. He has been my Endocrinologist in the past 3 years and also will be in the future. He is very kind with the patients and makes them feel comfort.

I am a Type 1 Diabetic and have been with Dr. Karimi for years. He is the best Endo I have ever come across. He is caring and knowledgeable! I have moved away from the Houston area but have chosen to stay with Dr. Karimi. He knows where I live and is always there to help when I need him. He is a WONDERFUL doctor!!

If you want a caring Endocrinologist who loves to educate his patients in a manner that they will understand, Dr. Karimi is the physician for you. He really listens to the patient and works with you to figure out a plan that has reasonable expectations for patient compliance. He doesn't talk down to his patients, he talks to them like they are a guest in his home asking for advice. He is the only Endocrinologist I will ever use. I only wish he was also a PCP, Cardiologist, Dentist...
