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. Karacostas genuinely cares about his patients and their wellbeing. Always gives 100% of his attention. He takes time to listen, asks questions and to explain, with intellectual methodology, that's educational and empowering. He responds very quickly to phone calls and pharmacy requests. He return a phone call, during a plane transfer while traveling, few doctors would care enough to stop and take the time to do this! He's a dedicated, caring professional that I strongly recommend!

One of our kids had an issue, Dr. Karacostas took us in promptly and I felt like he understood our needs and helped us accordingly. We saw him for a 3-visit evaluation, at end he wrote a letter to the school as we requested. We felt like he had a genuine interest in helping us.
