Patient Comments

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.

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.

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.
