Patient Reviews
Mar 05, 2025
After years with a practice that always felt like I was entering a factory, Dr Karo and his staff are, indeed, caring and supportive in every way. But most importantly, I feel that I am in the hands of a knowledgeable and well trained ophthalmologist. After just one appointment several months ago, I called with a concern about several ophthalmology episodes over the weekend. When I called for an appointment, I was immediately given an appointment with the caveat that I might have to wait. “Gladly”, I said. I highly recommend Dr Karo and his staff.

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
