Looks at numbers, writes a prescription, moves on to the next patient. I get more information from WebMD, unfortunately.

Beware of this doctor!! My daughter was a patient for a year before being diagnosed with thyroid cancer!! Her treatment and surgery were subsequently much more severe because of this doctor's lack of care.

I had a terrible experience at this office. I have a huge list of symptoms but was treated like I was making them up. She offered me no help, no solutions, and no recommendations on where to go next. All I was left with was hundreds of dollars in bills and tests.

I can't believe the bad reviews posted here could be for the same doctor I saw. My experience with Dr. Karas was exceptional! She was understanding of my situation, compassionate and efficient in diagnosing my health issue. She even called me after hours on my home phone as soon as she got my test results. She also recommended a great specialist at Northwestern Medical Hospital in Chicago for my continued care. I don't have a bad thing to say about this doctor.

Dr. Karas was very caring and thorough. She took more time with me then any doctor has in the last 15 years.

This woman is condescending, rude, inconsiderate and a horrible excuse for a doctor. Stay far away!
