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.

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

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.

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.
