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.

Dr Karakashian (Dr K) was scheduled to see my mom at 0830 on Friday. Although her wait time to be seen was approximately 2 hours, she was not seen by Dr K but by another doctor. After leaving the room, my dad asked Dr. K (who was outside the office using a computer) what had happened and that they waited to see him. He looked up and ignored him. My mom and dad walked away and Dr. K got up and began screaming at my parents telling them to get out. Staff stunned. Sorry, no room to finish review

Dr. Karakashian has been our family doctor for around 20 years. He is incredibly caring and efficient. He spends hours talking to his patients to find out what the real problem is. Unfortunately, I have to leave this wonderful doctor just because of the new medical group that he has joined. It is impossible to get a refill without making an appointment, which is one of the ways the medical group gets paid. Sorry doctor we still love you very much,

Dr. Karakashian has been our family doctor for many years. He cares and listens to us and considers all the available information before deciding on a treatment or medicine. He knows his patients well and spends quality time in exploring the reasons for a visit. Even when I require a specialist, I consult with him and rely heavily on his advice and recommendation. More than a medical professional, Dr. Karakashian is a kind-hearted human being.
