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.

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

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.
