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.

Kind and to the point
This doctor knows his craft and doesn't use fluff verbiage. He gets to the point and is exceptionally kind.

I was not impressed. He seemed bothered.
If he had to ask me if my symptoms were a problem for me then I wasted my time and his.

Great visit
Dr. Karaman was very easy to talk to didn’t make me feel pressured to make any big decisions right on the spot. He let me decide what was best for me and my healthcare after explaining different procedures and answering my questions. He was very down to earth which made the visit a pleasant one. I would recommend him to anyone who needed to see a urologist.

The Best Doctor
My first review of Dr Karaman was in 2022. Since then my whole family have remained under his incredible and attentive care. He is very involved in his patients treatment and he explains everything with an empathy that shows you his true heart of love. Recently he saw my son through a very scary time that involved ER and possible surgery. He kept us updated and allowed us to be an active participant in the decisions regarding his care from start to finish. He was available day and night while we went through this process. This is the best doctor ever! All doctors should be observing and learning from this man's loving down to earth care for his patients. We need more doctors like this in our world. Our area is blessed to have him in our life. Thank you Dr. Karaman. And thank you to his family who sacrifice him daily so he can care for our community. We are grateful...

Amazing! He was a miracle-worker in my case. He took over my very involved and urgent case after a surgical injury that I sustained in another state! He draws diagrams and explains options in ascending order from least to most invasive. You are a partner in your treatment, so refreshing! Even when I found myself unexpectedly in the hospital, his partners never hesitated to jump in if they were the on cite and Dr. Karaman was attending to the practice. When I needed emergency surgery as determined in an office visit yesterday, I was in an operating room in 3 hours!I have never been treated by any doctor that surpassed his care and attention.

I have a history of kidney stones and contacted Dr. Karaman's office and explained what was going on and they had me come into their office the same day. They were able to perform the imaging at their office.He was very empathetic and caring and answered all of my questions to my satisfaction. He would always say I want what's best for you as my patient. At no point in time did I feel pressured to make an immediate decision or pressured to choose one procedure over another. I went with the procedure that he recommended and his office was able to schedule me for the procedure at the surgery center the next day.Dr. Karaman checked on me when I was in pre-op, before they put me to sleep and afterwards when I was in recovery. He also had my prescriptions already called in to my pharmacy. Overall, my experience with Dr. Karaman and his entire office staff far exceeded my expectations and I'm more than happy with my decision.I highly recommend Dr. Karaman. Thank you so much for everything!
