Dr. Chafic Karam, MD

Dr Karam saved my life. He narrowed down so many autoimmune diseases and fast and I am now able to treat before I am really in trouble with disease that is often found when you are in organ failure . I trust Dr Karam with my life and there will be no one else I chose over him

Very informative about medical diagnosis.

I had a great experience with Dr. Karam. He is very kind, has good bedside manners and has empathy about helping his patients.

I find Dr. Karam extremely kind and he is an expert in his field. I trust him.

Unfortunately my experience with Dr.Karam was dismissive, and his testing technique inaccurate. I had an expert go over my results from Dr.Karam’s tests and he was shocked. My first test actually was a borderline abnormal instead of negative & could have been a positive if his preconceived idea of my diagnosis didn’t interfere with his tests. The second was done with medication on board that would interfere with the test. I told him I had taken it, he didn’t care. He said it didn’t matter because I didn’t have the disease. I had lost my diagnosis and treatment after that. I had to travel across the country to see one of the top exerts in my disease. Thankfully I found a local doctor to work with the expert and resume treatment so I can continue to improve and hopefully return to work.

Finally a bright doctor who cares.

Very knowledgeable in his field. Fully explained my condition.

Great visit! He did a thorough examination and explained clearly my diagnosis. Highly recommend Dr. Karam.

Took a long time to see him but he understood my situation and was able to help me.

Very knowledgeable and to the point.

After trying to get treatment for myasthenia gravis in Spokane WA for 4 months, without success, I drove to O.H.S.U. in Portland, OR. Dr. Karam has been a wonderful doctor, with a dry sense of humor that some people may not always understand. I have worked in the health care field for over 15 years myself and do not trust doctors because of prior experience. I trust Dr. Karam and have found him to be caring and attentive to detail. He listens and remembers what I say. I trust him implicitly.

He saw me for at most 10 minutes. Did not care that I have had a diagnosis for 8 years of upper motor neuron disease. He changed my diagnosis for no reason. He refused to have any kind of dialogue about it or acknowledge if he'd reviewed my 9 years' worth of medical records. He is arrogant and unable to establish a doctor-patient rapport. He thinks he knows everything. His ego prevents him from being anything near a good doctor. I don't care how smart he is he has no people skills.

He competely dismissed me when I told him about how my problem is getting worse. Told me not to close my eyes when I'm standing, chuckled and walked out.
