I’m very happy with his down to earth approach to my treatment. He’s just a plain talk regular guy. I like his conservative approach and respect for my opinions and feelings.

Dr karaman is great. But waiting to be seen is frustrating. I had to wait an hour and a half for three minutes with the doc just to find out my lab results. Please improve this before my next appointment.
