I have seen Dr. Karlen since I was 7 years old. He is such a great doctor who is caring and always makes sure you understand your condition. He is always willing to answer all of your questions and concerns. He performed all of my surgeries and made sure everything went smoothly. He truly is the best doctor I could have asked for!
