Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I've seen Dr. Karlin for the past 5 years. I'm not a pediatric anymore, but I'm so thankful he continues to see me. The waits can be lengthy, and the schedule seems to change quite a bit, but honestly it's not an issue for me. Dr. Karlin is by far the best doctor I've seen after having a brain injury and stroke at 15. He's been the most helpful in my recovery. I don't know where I'd be without him. Thank you, Dr. Karlin!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Karlin?
My child was referred to him for chronic back and hip pain. The first thing the nurse said was we don't give drugs,only for him to prescribe a drug.He was not sensitive to my daughter who had spent the last 3 months in pain.He prescribed PT but did not specify what the therapist was supposed to do.This made the therapist fearful that he would injure my daughter. Told to call in every Monday, talk with the nurse about my daughter's process. Every Monday I called and nurse acted clueless.
