One of the best physicians I've ever had. She was quick to find a diagnosis, and found an inexpensive remedy that did not require drugs. I also had issues with my insurance company, and her staff helped immeasurably in dealing with them.

The doctor is incompetent. She can't answer even the most basic medical questions. Plus I have never met as rude as she is. She never did a follow up, even after a specialist suggested I have more tests run.

Dr Karchikian is been my doctor for more than 25 years. I think this would tell you what kind of doctor she is. She is very caring, very dedicated and very honest. She would tell you everything the way it is and won't hold enything back. Wonderful doctor & I would recommend her 100%.

This doctor has a wonderful & caring attitude. She is very forward & she tells it like it is. Her staff is friendly enough. As far as the wait time it is to be expected. She is a great doctor & has a fair amount of patients who she takes the time to explain & help with their situation. That is what she does for me and I recommend her to anyone who has the patience to wait for quality care.
