Patient Reviews
Dec 10, 2024
'I recently had surgery with Dr. Karni, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the post-surgery follow-up, Dr. Karni was professional, thorough, and genuinely caring. The surgery went smoothly, and I felt completely supported throughout the entire process. The recovery has been great, and I’ve had minimal discomfort thanks to Dr. Karni's expertise. The staff was also fantastic—everyone made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend Dr. Karni for anyone considering surgery. I’m extremely grateful for their skill and care.'
