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.

Open Communication-very responsive
Dr. Karimi is the most attentive and personable doctor I have ever been to. He listens to my concerns and addresses each one, but the best aspect is that he, himself, returns my call or message. There’s no go between nurse or tech. I actually get to speak directly to him. That in itself is a game changer in my healthcare choices! In addition, I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes before getting called back and have never waited more than a minute or two for him to come in to the exam room.

Super doctor!
My experience with Dr. Karimi was such a delight. He listened to my concerns and effectively asked great questions all of which made me feel very comfortable. He has provided options related to how I can treat my thyroid issues along with tackling my weight issues at the same time. I am grateful that I found such a caring doctor that values my input as a patient since I’m the one going through the symptoms related to my condition. He doesn’t dismiss my feelings only because labs show a different story. Together we come to a medium ground and I love that about him. I highly recommend Dr. Karimi!

Dr. Karimi is Amazing!!
First time going to an endocrinologist to do a health check up since I’m pre-diabetic. He was very professional and listened to my concerns and asked me what is important to me yet he also gave his input as a Dr and gave me a lot of information on things I need to do to change my lifestyle to help prevent me becoming a diabetic.

My Mom’s visit
I took my mom to Dr. Karimi twice now. In both visits, he and his staff took very good care of my mom. Dr. Karimi and his staff are very friendly and compassionate. He took time to talk to us, asking questions, listening to our conditions and offer encouraging words as well as giving us advice on how to take care of ourselves. He’s a great doctor

Best. Doctor. Ever.
If you want a caring Endocrinologist who loves to educate his patients in a manner that they will understand, Dr. Karimi is the physician for you. He really listens to the patient and works with you to figure out a plan that has reasonable expectations for patient compliance. He doesn't talk down to his patients, he talks to them like they are a guest in his home asking for advice. He is the only Endocrinologist I will ever use. I only wish he was also a PCP, Cardiologist, Dentist...
