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.

Outstanding care. I am so happy I found her. She is the first Doctor I felt comfortable discussing anything with. She has incredible insight!

I count myself blessed to have found Dr. Karyn. She shows genuine concern for those in her care and I never feel rushed when I'm at an appointment. Dr. Karyn is an amazing listener and I leave her office knowing that she has my best interests at heart. Last year when my son passed away, she personally called me at my home to check on me. Her compassion and care for each patient is such a rare find today, when everything is hurried and impersonal.

Took the time to go over test results and give complete explanations. Did not rush me out to get to another patient.

Dr. Karyn has been my doctor for many years. She is kind, compassionate and patient. I wouldn't dream of seeing anyone else for my health issues.

Dr. Abdallah will make you come in for an appointment for the silliest of things - allergy medication for instance - but the kicker is that she will not be available to see you for 3 weeks, so depending on the issue, you might as well self-medicate over the counter or go to urgent care. That's not a PCP and it's frustrating. If you go into see her, you will expect to be in her office 2.5 hours and maybe see her for 15 minutes tops. Plan to be accosted by the receptionists and NP too. She used to be a great PCP... but as a working mother, I just don't have time to waste and I want immediate treatment

Disappointed by recent care – Oct 09, 2019
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Abdallah?
Dr K. Abdallah, is a fine physician, she has been my primary care physician for years. She listens well, treats appropriately, is personable, caring, professional & competent. She is board certified in family medicine, and it is evident that she keeps my long-term health in mind when she provides treatment. I have moved to another city /county and was delighted to learn my health insurance names her on my PCP option list.

I have been going to Karyn for over 10 years. I am in my mid-20s and both of my parents go to her as well. Some highlights: - Ave. wait time in office; 20 minutes to an hour (she only spends about 5-10 mins with me when in room) - Ave. wait time to schedule an appointment; 15-30 mins (that's to get ahold of someone) - Takes about 3 mos out for existing patients to book annuals... she takes 6 weeks off in the summer time - Misdiagnosed my mother's high blood pressure and she had to have surgery

I've seen Karyn Abdallah for over 10 years. She is the best kind of doctor you could have: kind, understanding, patient, and knowledgeable. She always puts me at ease and is so pleasant to be around.

I have been going to Dr.. Abdallah for 15+ years. She used to be a caring, compassionate doctor. I trusted her completely. In the last few years she has changed so much. She doesn't listen to you, but pretends like she does. She cares about herself and defends her office staff even when they are wrong. It is very sad because I used to believe in her and would have put my very life in her hands. Not anymore. All I can say is karma will give her what she deserves.

She puts on a good performance at the initial appointment, but after that she rushes through appointments so quickly and doesn't listen to you. Additionally, her nurse is very unfriendly and has left me extremely rude voicemails on multiple occasions regarding blood work results and messages/questions I left for Dr. Abdallah. Also, she is consistently an hour behind schedule.

After the initial appointment where she put on good performance, I found that I could never complete a sentence in her presence. She often misconstrued information and gave poor, even dangerous medical advice because she would not listen. I was disregarded and disrespected by her once she knew that I needed to see her for refills on my prescriptions and she took me for granted as a patient because of it.
