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.

I found Dr Karp to be a professional, thorough, kind, informative physician. He answered my questions, allayed my fears and was straight forward with my treatment needs. I am now a breast cancer survivor because of his surgical expertise and the care I received at Lahey Clinic.

I met Dr. Karp in 1994, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. This month of October 2017, there are 23 years since he saved my life. I don't have enough words to express my gratitude to this gentle and highly specialized doctor. I am a nurse in ICU in Ottawa, Canada, dealing all my life with medical doctors, and being able to compare and appreciate good care. I would recommend Dr. Karp in a heart beat to anyone.
