Appointment was at 10am so I arrived at 9:45 and I was not seen until 11am Staff made no mention of my long wait time An acknowledgment that they were running late would have been appreciated When I got in to see Dr Karp I found her to be very thorough and was impressed by her

Dr. Karp was very awkward with her patients. My husband was in the room. I don't know if that was the reason, but she was very awkward and just gave off a weird vibe. I think she's a great doctor. I don't know if she's new to the practice, considering she is also the only doctor, but she just needs to work on her confidence, I think.

The office staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The nurses and Dr. Karp were very informative. I would trust giving any of my friends and family the information that I got and the treatment that I got. I am very, very satisfied.

The wait time was very, very long. I was there at 9:30 for my 9:45 appointment. I was not seen by Doctor Karp until 11:20 a.m. I finally was able to leave at 12:20. I think she said something about being double booked today. I do like the facts that she is very thorough, caring and a good listener.

You need to improve on scheduling and the time that it takes for a patient to make their appointment. When a patient arrives promptly, they're sometimes there two hours after their appointment.

The doctor was several HOURS behind schedule and (as a new patient), I was told by staff that I should "get used to it" because she's a surgeon! I have seen specialists & surgeons who managed their offices efficiently and won't be returning to this one.

Due to my insurance does not cover well for WS physicians. I had to pay upfront BEFORE seeing the MD. Also, it is expected to pay upfront as following procedures apply. People don't have an exorbent amount of $ to pay upfront with no payment plan offered. That's why I stayed with where I work in another healthcare facility.

The staff was very nice and introduced them self's. I know Dr. Karp was very busy. Once I was called back to an exam room it took 15 minutes before her NP came to the room. About 5 minutes after she was in the room she was called out to help the dr. I waited about 15 minutes before Dr. Karp came in the room. She was very nice and listened to my concerns

The entire staff from the front desk to Dr. Karp were very friendly. I had to wait a while because I was late, but they still saw me and I really appreciate that. And the recommendations were great after being seen and everything she did and said were very professional, very caring, and very knowledgeable and I really appreciate it very much. And I will be recommending Dr. Karp as well as complimenting the front desk staff to others as well. Thank you. Happy Holidays.

Dr Karp is extremely knowledgeable. Professional, Courteous and caring about her patients and the medical issues. She explains everything professionally yet in understandable language. She takes the time to listen to your symptoms and your concerns. She explains all possible procedures, the pros and cons of each possible procedure and medication. Dr Karp is an outstanding physician!

The doctor was several HOURS behind schedule and (as a new patient), I was told by staff that I should "get used to it" because she's a surgeon! I have seen specialists & surgeons who managed their offices efficiently and won't be returning to this one.

Dr. Karp is the best. She is an awesome doctor, and I attribute my successful surgery to her. I would not hesitate to see her again if needed. She is thorough and caring. The entire office staff is the same. The nurses are great!!! Love them all.

You need to improve on scheduling and the time that it takes for a patient to make their appointment. When a patient arrives promptly, they're sometimes there two hours after their appointment.

Dr. Karp gave me more information about my physical condition than any other doctor has ever done. She also gave me some information about how to improve my health.

The wait time was very, very long. I was there at 9:30 for my 9:45 appointment. I was not seen by Doctor Karp until 11:20 a.m. I finally was able to leave at 12:20. I think she said something about being double booked today. I do like the facts that she is very thorough, caring and a good listener.

I waited an hour and a half to see Dr. Karp. She advised me of my issue and prescribed therapy, but she was cold and I left not feeling like she was listening to me.

The office staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The nurses and Dr. Karp were very informative. I would trust giving any of my friends and family the information that I got and the treatment that I got. I am very, very satisfied.

Dr. Karp was very awkward with her patients. My husband was in the room. I don't know if that was the reason, but she was very awkward and just gave off a weird vibe. I think she's a great doctor. I don't know if she's new to the practice, considering she is also the only doctor, but she just needs to work on her confidence, I think.

Appointment was at 10am so I arrived at 9:45 and I was not seen until 11am Staff made no mention of my long wait time An acknowledgment that they were running late would have been appreciated When I got in to see Dr Karp I found her to be very thorough and was impressed by her
