She is very nice for beening the first time we met
Dr. Karkhanis has been very diligent about identifying the causes of, and a solution to, my allergy issues. She is also very personable and kind. I highly recommend her.
I actually saw another staff member a male doctor I’d never seen before. He came out immediately to see me in the biologic office because I had been having trouble with perhaps my injection. I have made an appointment to see a PA on Tuesday, to follow up on my test prior injection and my other symptoms. Whoever this doctor was, he was fabulous and the fact that he came to see me immediately is quite amazing.
Have been receiving my allergy and flu shot from this clinic for several years. Friendly staff and I never have to wait more than 15 once I sign in. Highly recommend.
I was in the office for over 2 hours for a simple follow up exam.
Exceptional care and professionalism.
Dr. Karkhanis was very patient and communicated very clearly with the care plan. Gave reassurance with any concerns and very polite personality.
Good doctor very professional.
Personable & knowledgeable physician.
She’s Amazing and very knowledgeable. She explained everything to where I was able to understand . She took her time and didn’t rush through anything.
