Patient Reviews
May 14, 2024
Dr Karam makes you feel as though you are his only patient. Attentive to my and family members questions and to my emotional state simultaneously. He mindfully and respectfully delivers difficult information in a distilled manner. Kindly answers the same questions over again. I’ve never felt rushed and absolutely know if I have an issue he or someone on his team will be there regardless of day or time. Not to mention he did a beautiful job on my surgery and aftercare and literally has saved my life. He is the epitome of excellence.
