Patient Reviews
Apr 25, 2020
I have so much confidence in Dr. Kari. She is a gifted lady I have had many ENT Doctors take care of my ear problems but when I had my first appointment with her I realized this lady really knows more about ears than all the others. I thanked her for specializing in ear care. I am very disappointed she is no longer available at USC in L.A. God bless you. John Brownell
