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. Karunananthan is a great docto and her staff is extremely helpful. Nurse Irma and receptionist Mirian have been extra helpful.

I have had Dr. Karuna for many, many years and she is wonderful. I can call same day and get a appt. if you call at 8:00 am...She listens to you and works with you to help you through what ever aches and pains you have. She’s very easy to talk. My whole family sees her, I would recommend her absolutely.

Dr. Karunananthan has been my wife's and my physician for more than 10 years. We're both 70. Over the years, she's helped us through some major medical issues (heart, cancer, etc.). We trust her.

I've been a patient of Dr. Ruth Karunananthan for many years. She always listens to my concerns, orders needed tests and refers to specialists when needed. I have been through a lot medically and seen many doctors, so having her as my doctor has made it easier to get over some difficult times. I feel very well taken care of by her.
