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.

Highly Recommended
After my initial phone consultation with Dr. Karamlou I felt very comfortable with her performing my open heart surgery. Dr. Karamlou answered all of my questions and concerns and didn't rush me off the phone. Dr. Karamlou is a highly skilled Cardiovascular Surgeon, but she is also very personable and friendly. I traveled from Michigan to the Cleveland Clinic to have open heart surgery to correct a congenital heart defect. Dr. Karamlou first met with my wife and I prior to my surgery, and then met with my wife again after my surgery to let her know how the surgery went, how I was doing and what to expect going forward. Dr. Karamlou checked in on me daily, and her very accommodating associates checked on me several times a night during my 5-day stay at Cleveland Clinic. My surgery was completed almost 3 months ago, and I feel great. I'm very confident that the surgery performed by Dr. Karamlou completely repaired my heart defect and has added years onto my life.
