This was my first time seeing Dr. Karman at this office location, so I was a little nervous. The receptionist and medical assistant/nurse were very nice and made me feel completely at ease. The location I usually go to is closer to my work but I'm strongly considering making this my primary location for future visits.

Dr Karman used to work at an office in my hometown, but unfortunately, they replaced him with another doctor. I was so upset when I learned he was no longer there. He's 80 miles away from me now, but I'll gladly drive to see him. He's topnotch in my book !!
