Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

His Office Staff is Terrible
I’ve seen Dr Karam since my son was born 12 years ago. But I must admit, over the last 2 years, I’ve seen a huge decline of care from his office staff regarding filling prescriptions, lost prescriptions, failure to return calls timely, etc. As a single parent, this affects my child’s learning, as I spend money back and forth to Uber to his office every 3 months to get a refill 45 minutes away from where we live now. They take FOREVER to answer their phone, and the staff I question even tell this Dr who’s calling or for what. I am so frustrated just trying to get my son’s monthly meds refill without losing days and days and days of time off work trying to accomplish what ANY Dr’s office should be able to do: fill a simple years long needed CHILD’s medication which they REQUIRE to learn. If this is how difficult it is to call in a script, it makes you wonder what else may be scrimped on.

Most humane and knowledgeable doctor
Dr. Karam went above and beyond his duty os a doctor. My 3 year old had inhaled a foreign object and ER doctors in the most prestigious hospital in our state sent us back even tho we complained that the sound and suffocation our kid was having was not normal. Next day Dr. Karam took things into his hand and called/instructed the director at the hospital for tests, and they found the foreign body stuck in pathway of lung. It was Dr. Karma’s experience and expertise that we avoided a big mishap. Highly recommend doctor.

I had an absolutely terrible experience with this doctor. I picked this office actually because of the good reviews here, but am extremely disappointed and want to warn another parents. My husband and I didn’t feel comfortable with Dr. Karam from the beginning, his bedside manners are absolutely terrible, however we decided to stick with him, because of the reviews and see if maybe he is a good doctor. So first of all, if we called him because our daughter had fever or something, he never knew w

We tried to stick it out with Dr. Karam for close to a year because my daughter really liked him but just couldn't. It is over priced, the office was charging for the smallest things, like almost $100 for "earwax removal procedures" aka him putting a q-tip in her ear to remove a small piece of wax. The office is not professional, and the office itself is poorly maintained. Too many follow up visits for no reason, and he was quick to prescribe medication instead of figure out what was wrong.
