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.

Stay away from this Dr. !!
Dr Carimi is arrogant and a poor listener. His personality is aggressive and comes off as a bully.

Top rate physician with vast knowledge and caring.
Dr. Carimi is very well informed about your needs prior to your visit. His medical staff provide him with all patient communication and he reads notes from prior visits. He is incredibly intelligent and responsive. He listenswell. You can feel his brain working like a computer and he uses his vast knowledge to come up with a plan that best addresses your needs and lifestyle. He also keeps alternatibe interventions in mind if needed. Dr. Carimi is a friendly reassuring and caring person. I would not consider seeing another GP. He is the best so far and I'm 71! Sue L

My first time seeing Dr Carimi was a very pleasant experience. He was on time, had already gone over my health history and had some printouts for me for things he noticed. I've NEVER had a doctor even come close to being that prepared for my appointments. What a time saver! He was very thorough and explained things simply so there was no question what was being communicated. Dr Carimi was very attentive and actually listened to what I was saying. I love that he does not beat around the bush and does not force drugs or treatments. I also like that he is not afraid to refer to a specialist when warranted. I've had doctors that just would not do referrals because they could handle it themselves. Lots of wasted time and being misdiagnosed, oh how life would have been better if I had a doctor like Dr Carimi way back when. I have already been telling people about him and how happy I am with him. I hope he sticks around for a long time.
