Dr. Umaprasanna S Karnam, MD

Dr. Karnam truly saved my life. I went in for my first preventative screening colonoscopy at age 45 and was unexpectedly diagnosed with Stage 3B colon cancer. From the very beginning, Dr. Karnam moved quickly to get an incredible team of specialists around me. My surgery was scheduled just two weeks after diagnosis, and I started chemotherapy only four weeks later. Throughout the entire process, he was compassionate, supportive, and always there for me every step of the way. I will always be grateful for his care, dedication, and the way he guided me through one of the hardest times of my life.

I've been lucky to have Dr. Karnam as my doctor for the last 3 years. From our first meeting, I was impressed with his attention, dedication, and willingness to educate me about my disease and explain the plan for care. He helps calm me about my health and is incredibly responsive, even responding to my questions via text while he was traveling in India. I cannot recommend him enough to any potential patients who wish to learn more about their disease and receive the best plan of care from a doctor who is willing to go the extra mile for you.

Dr Karnam is a wonderful and attentive doctor. He’s the the best gastroenterologist I’ve ever had!

Doctor Karnam and his staff are amazing. He will go to great lengths to help you with any problems that you have. He is kind and funny. I would highly recommend Doctor Karnam to anyone. Myself and a few if my family members go to him. I have been going to him for over 10 years.

Doctor Karnam is very caring and is willing to listen to your problems. Is staff is very nice too. I have been going to him over 10 years and he always listen to my concerns. He is willing to go the extra mile to make sure your get the best care. I would recommend Doctor Karnam to anyone to which I have with my son and husband.

Dr Karnam and his staff are always so amazing to help me when my health has been well and especially not well. He has literally saved my life, when i was down to 80ish pounds and another doctor said I was fine those other doctors did not listening to me something was wrong. Until I saw Dr Karnam, at the first visit he had a good idea what was wrong from my heath history, confirmed the diagnosis with a colonoscopy and had me on my way to controlling a flare Of UC. I’ve called in and they have had me in quickly for an office visit if I’m having a GI issue. . even with getting a colonoscopy getting done soon (like 2-3 days). Dr Karnam and his staff are all amazing amazing and I have sent many people I know to him for GI related issues.

Dr Karnam is an amazing doctor! Every experience both myself and my family has had with him has been awesome! I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great Gastroenterologist!

I have been under the expert care of Dr. Uma Karnum for an incredible 15 years, and I can say with absolute certainty that he is one of the finest gastroenterologists in the field. I initially sought his expertise for issues related to Ulcerative Colitis, and ever since, he has been a pillar of support and guidance for me. What strikes me most about Dr. Karnum is his boundless knowledge. Not only is he incredibly skilled clinically, but he also makes a point to educate his patients about their conditions. He has done an excellent job of helping me understand the complexities of Ulcerative Colitis, equipping me with the tools I need to manage my condition effectively. Besides his clinical expertise, Dr. Karnum is incredibly personable. He listens attentively to all my concerns, making sure to address each one with utmost care. His ability to make his patients feel heard and valued is truly commendable. One of the greatest conveniences about being Dr. Karnum's patient is his… accessibility. Whether it's an urgent medical question or routine follow-up, he is always easy to get ahold of. This kind of availability is so reassuring, especially when dealing with a chronic condition that can be as unpredictable as Ulcerative Colitis. To sum it up, Dr. Uma Karnum combines clinical excellence with an extraordinary bedside manner, making him the go-to gastroenterologist in my book. He has significantly improved my quality of life and has been a trusted healthcare partner for a decade and a half. I could not recommend him more highly for anyone in need of gastroenterological care. Thank you, Dr. Karnum, for 15 years of impeccable care and understanding. Here's to many more years of good health under your excellent guidance!

Dr. Karnam is the best doctor!! Our family is very thankful to him! Dr. Karnam has been taking care of my father and mother for many years! Just recently my father was admitted to the hospital for bleeding and Dr. Karnam was so caring and concerned that he called us and texted us every day to see how my father was doing! After my father was discharged from the hospital Dr. Karnam has helped us to plan a treatment for my dad, we haven’t had any problems scheduling or with the staff, everyone at this office have been friendly and helpful to us!! Thank you Dr. Karnam for your professionalism, expertise and caring!!

I love this man!!! I have been in the hands of Dr. Karnam for 12 years, ever since I first started having GI issues. He saved my life by determining the root cause of my initial bile duct obstruction and rushing me into surgery, instead of sending me home with pain meds like the previous ER/GI doctors. All of my GI issues (and my families) have always been promptly and expertly diagnosed and succesfully handled by Dr. Karnam. I have unfortunately found myself in the hands of other doctors/hospitals (rushed to the nearest ER) plenty of times, none of them come close to Dr. Karnam. Don't just go off internet ratings...walk up to any doctor in the state of UT, drop his name, and watch the reaction. This man is a legend in our community!
