I would appreciate a review by the staff, of the online information being available prior to my arrival. It is frustrating to have completed the indo on line. And arrive and the staff cannot access the info. Hopefully they will have a way to notify new patience when the system fails. So the patient can bring the info the doctor needs for a visit.

Yes, my appointment had got canceled due to a water leak, but your office got me in on a Saturday. They came in on a Saturday to get the patients in that was not seen due to the water leak. And that was very impressive and I was very thankful because it had took a little bit to get an appointment. And so I was so thankful and they were so kind when I got there. And the fact that they came in on a Saturday to see me was very impressive.

I thought the doctor's skill level was probably as good as it could be, but she was hoity. She was not, I didn't get any information about what I could do with the symptoms. I was only told that I didn't have prolapse. Well, something's going on because I have a lot of pain and a lot of pressure, but she didn't address that issue at all, and I was just disappointed. I didn't like her demeanor. I would not choose to see her again.

Dr Karp and her staff are knowledgeable and professional. They showed great care for me before and after my surgery. I can't remember the name of the nurse assistant that helped me but she stayed later than usual and waited for me to reinsert my catheter 3 days after surgery because I couldn't void without it. Thank you all that helped me through.
