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.

Excellent neurosurgeon
Dr. Moon explained in an easy to understand manner options for relief from spondylolisthesis. The entire surgical process and related support groups were top-notch. I’ve gone from months of extreme pain and disability to walking once again, bringing joy to my whole family.

I have a great medical referral for those in need of a Neurosurgeon. If anyone is need of an Interventional Radiologist Neurosurgeon, then I have one for you! I had a 10mm aneurysm in the middle of my brain connected to the cerebral artery. I was misdiagnosed several times prior to seeing this surgeon. This surgeon is Dr. Karam Moon and literally saved my life. I had a very "unique" and complicated Aneurysm in the middle of my brain. This huge aneurysm could have ruptured at any time. Dr. Moon put in a stent and coils. He was the ONLY Interventional Radiology Neurosurgeon that was competent, capable and confident enough to take on my case. He completed his neurovascular and neurointerventional fellowship at Barrow Neurological Institute. I cannot thank him enough for giving me my life back. He is also nice, thoughtful and kind and explains everything so my husband and I could understand what was happening at each step. We absolutely love Dr. Moon!!!!! I would travel a million miles to see Dr. Moon. As of yesterday, I have no restrictions and don't need to see him for another year and only for a CT Scan because my aneurysm is gone. Praise God and the steady hands of Dr. Moon and his great staff.

Won't see this doctor again! Won't recommend him EVER! I met with Dr. Karam Moon in August of 2024. What he wrote in his notes regarding tests performed wasn't true. He didn't perform any tests and I felt rushed through my appointment. The ONLY thing that was done was I asked him if he wanted me to stand up to see how I stand. NONE of the tests were done. My husband was with me the entire time.

my visit
Wait time was a little much. I would have appreciated a little more time to interact with the doctor about my expected outcome, however he suggested another MRI of my cervical Spine. I have the feeling that he suspected more than what the Lumbar MRI was showing. I think we will probably get more in Depth at my next appointment

Dr Moon is brilliant
I'm 78 and was horrified when a particularly dangerous aneurysm was discovered in my brain. Using the modern technique of a cerebral angiogram and extraordinary skill, Dr. Moon was able to render the defect non-threatening and apply two stents to prevent any bleeding. I cannot thank or recommend him highly enough. I also appreciate his frank and honest assessment of the situation before and after surgery.

Dr. Moon - great. Staff - not great.
Dr. Moon's surgery scheduling team left me two messages late Friday afternoon to schedule my upcoming procedure. We have returned both those calls first thing the following Monday and again the first thing on Tuesday morning. We have had no response from either of the staff. When we met with Dr. Moon he said he wanted the procedure to be performed 'sooner rather than later'. As the days go by with no response from the staff, it looks like it will be later rather than sooner. This is very disappointing health care.

Best bedside manner
This was my first visit with Dr. Moon. I was impressed with him from the moment he came into the room. He is truly passionate about people. Very rare to find now. He didn't rush me. He explained everything in detail. I had a complete understanding of my condition. He answered all my questions. Dr. Moon never made me feel that it was an imposition. Everything about him was impressive. He was knowledgeable, well spoken and honest. Dr. Moon is definitely the standard of a doctor. I feel if a person has chosen to be a health care physician, it should be because they care about people and want to help them become a healthier version of themselves. To give the information one needs to make choices for a better quality of life. What a blessing to have crossed paths with Dr Moon.

Amazing Surgeon
Dr. Moon is very caring and takes the time to explain what is going on. For example, I asked to see what device he had implanted in my brain and he took the time to look it up on the computer and show it to me.

Patient Care is obsolete
I am an office manager for a primary care facility - We have been referring to this office for years, and I thought had a good relationship with them. I have a patient that has been trying to get in somewhere for 2 years, and has all of the imaging completed. I called as the office to try and help her get in quicker. The unprofessionalism of the Manager that I spoke to that wouldn't even take 2 seconds to listen was absolutely disgusting. If you can get past the controlling staff that don't care about anything but having a referral in their hand so that the "Dr. Can review" before they "DECIDE" if they will see your patient, you might have a great experience here. For now, they have lost all of our referrals. Its saddening that patient care is obsolete. Dr. Moon is great - his staff leaves much to be desired.
