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.

Two Thumbs Up
Dr Karl has been a godsend for me. He got me back to 100% in no time. I have found him to be extremely knowledgeable, professional, and attentive. The fact that he focuses on the patients issues is admirable. I would highly recommend him with no reservations.

Thank you, Dr. Karl!
I am so grateful to Dr. Karl for his beautiful work on me for both carpal tunnel and total shoulder replacement! I was virtually pain free with the former, and my shoulder recovery has been so smooth and surprisingly less painful than I anticipated. Scarring on my hand is almost invisible, and my shoulder is also looking like it will be minimal. Follow-up visits have been short, but I haven't felt the need for them to be longer. I will absolutely return to Dr. Karl if I find myself in need of his specialties again.

Rough, rushed, arrogant
Seek out someone else. Karl was insensitive, arrogant, mean, and caused me physical harm. He is incapable of listening. I know of others who have had a similar experience. I question how his medical license has not been revoked. I would give him negative stars if I could. Avoid at all costs.
