5.0 star star star star starI have been seeing various specialists over the years--some treating you like a number, some giving you 15 minutes and then time is up, some not listening, some treating my issues with more tests and prescription drugs Dr. Karmali is the complete opposite He actually listens, he knows his area, he discusses options, and he treats you with respect and not as a thing I met him for the first time and was blown away by his knowledge and skills, by his honesty, by his humanity and listening skills And he explained in detail what were my issues He also by-the-way know medications and their impact I think medication-wise I am better off because Dr Karmali took me off one med my so-called primary doctor had me on and reduced the dosage of another one I think this has helped me

5.0 star star star star starDr Karmali was fantastic. While the most important factor is his knowledge, and he was very knowledgeable, what struck me most was how incredibly kind, patient and thorough he was for me. He did what no other doctor has done on my current health journey and that was to sincerely acknowledge how difficult this must be for me. It was amazing.
