Patient Reviews
Aug 29, 2022
Dr. Karen has been my primary for a few years now and I am very upset that she is leaving her current practice. She is the best primary I've ever had. She listens to your concerns, tries to find a solution, has GREAT bed side manner, and replies promptly. Definitely recommend her. I personally have never had a negative experience with her.
