Patient Comments

Dr. Karri cares. Everyone in her office cares. Dr. Karri will assist on anything she feels informed on doing so, but will not hesitate to indicate when there's something she's uncertain of, referring to a specialist. That amount of honesty garnishes so much respect. I've never had a more professional doctor in my life.

February 10, 2021

I love Dr. Karri!

February 08, 2021

She explained everything very well and immediately made me feel comfortable with her!

December 01, 2020

Thorough evaluation of my health in a way that put me at ease.

I LOVE Dr Karri! She has taken exquisite care of me! I can't recommend her enough. I even sent my father to her.

October 12, 2020

Dr. Karri is simply the best! I was always hesitant to see a doc for anything but she makes me feel confident and comfortable to talk to her and ask questions. She's kind and understanding and ever so patient.

Dr. Karri is kind, thoughtful, well educated on options and extremely helpful. I have recommended her often.

August 22, 2020

I already recommend Dr. Karri to a coworker.

August 19, 2020

I tell everyone about her, I love how she does an integration of health [...]. She also listens & remembers.

July 28, 2020

I was very impressed with how much time Dr. Karri spent with me, just getting to know me and listening to me. She and the nursing staff also impressed me with the extreme measures they took to make sure everything was sanitary in the exam room.

July 22, 2020

Dr Karri was, as always amazing. I was impressed, as usual about all she remembers about me, and her thorough, collaborative hypothesis building with me when exploring a diagnosis. Her listening skills and general "bedside manner" also showed up, per usual across the video format. I feel respected, and didn't feel judged [...]. she took the time for a personal exchange, as we spent a few minutes talking about our personal views on the challenging decisions around school in the fall.

June 22, 2020

I was hoping Dr. Karri could provide some advice with alternative supplements and herbs. She made it very clear that she wouldnt do that so I will likely not use her services. most of what she shared I already knew so I didnt feel it was helpful.

June 19, 2020

Great experience.

June 12, 2020

She is EXCELLENT.

May 14, 2020

I really like Dr. Karri - she is easy to talk to and really listens.

Dr Karri cares about her patients and her [...] is just as caring and committed.
