Dr. Karman is very knowledgeable about sleep apnea, its consequences, and the need for it to be treated. He is the best in his field. I really believe he saved my life when he diagnosed and treated my sleep apnea years ago.

Dr. Karman is very compassionate and extremely knowledgeable about sleep apnea. I appreciated his good input about how to work on the issues I'm having with my CPAP machine. I hope he's in practice as long as I have sleep apnea!

Dr. Karman is knowledgeable, thorough, professional and courteous. I have referred patients, family and friends to him for several years. I do wish more of the specialists I've encountered over many years in Louisville were more like him. U of L is fortunate to have him.
