Dr. Howard Karpoff, MD

Horrible bedside manor, quick to push medication

When a breast surgeon tells you before he removes both of your breasts, "don't worry about it, it's just tissue!" He was very insensitive and did not listen to concerns. He did a horrible closure. Would not recommend him at all.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. I visited 3 other breast surgeons. None of them were as professional, compassionate or confident as Dr. Karpoff. He spent an extremely long amount of time going over my diagnosis and answering questions. He never made me feel rushed. Because of my profession I've made some close friends with some of the most respected Dr's and medical staff in this area. When I asked them who they would recommend, they all answered Dr. Karpoff is the best in his field. I've heard from some people that his bedside manner is a bit rough but I never once felt that. I think that's probably what can be attributed to any low star reviews that other people left. To me, he is very no nonse and gives it to you straight. He does have a great sense of humor too. I am very grateful to Dr. Karpoff. I'm not the easiest patient. I am very scared of medical procedures. He got my through my darkest days. I will forever be grateful for that.

After my breast cancer diagnosis, the brightest light in the frightening tunnel was Dr. Karpoff. My first visit with him was comforting, he was so patient answering my questions and carefully explaining my diagnosis and surgical treatment options. His sense of humor also put me and my family at ease. Thanks to his incredible talent as a surgeon, I am cancer free. Dr. Karpoff is an impeccable surgeon who I highly recommend. He and his entire staff are wonderful caring people. Thank you!!
