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.

Shameful doctor refused to help a veteran
I asked this doctor to simply write me a VA Nexus letter so I can get my disability that I'm rightfully owed having served my country. His answer was no stating he can't associate my thyroid nodules and sleep apnea to my neck injury in the service (400lb life boat fell on me) Mind you Im already considered disabled w/o service connection by the military. He stated 'thyroid injury wouldn't be caused from neck injury' sir you're a liar and the fact you was my primary care doctor you should be ashamed...Shame on you shame on your failure to lack of oath that you took. Veterans do not go here

Very attentive, responsive, and professional
Dr. Karesh has begun providing health care guidance for my 80-year old mother for several months now and has been absolutely incredible. He has developed a comfortable, trusting environment for her as she transitions from her previous primary healthcare physician of over 40 years. I would highly recommend Dr. Karesh.

I have been a patient of Dr. Karesh for over 5 years. He is slow react and treat new conditions. Does not follow up on lab tests in the manner his own lab recommends for abnormal results. His explanations for some things seem ok until you realize they defy medical logic. There is a reason he is still accepting new patients after all these years in practice.
