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.

Dude, where's my doctor? Or, Spots don't change!
Just WOW!Don't question. It seems he strongly resents any 'whys' and 'whats.' I wish there was another MD in that office to discuss my treatment. I brought notes from two other MDs and a disc of my spine. It wasn't reviewed. Presumptuous behavior. I'm surprised at anyone who will talk behind the backs of reputable physicians. Unprofessional. Half of my vs., I listened to his complaints of others. I'm glad to be referred out.

Absolutely the best Dr, staff!
I’ve been suffering with chest pain for 8 months. Other pain specialists, Drs, had no idea what to do! Dr. Kari immediately knew what to do, the staff was wonderful and his injections were precise & placed with ultrasound! He is kind, caring, knowledgeable and a breath of fresh air! Absolutely awesome!

Dr Kari is arrogant, narcissistic, inflexible. It's his way or forget it. Do not call him if you have issues, complications or reactions. He doesn't care. Doesn't want to hear it. Do not go to him. If anything comes up, he'll leave you high and dry, with no instruction, no care and no referral. Very unethical and unprofessional!

Dr Kari has been a godsend to helping the pain in my left arm after a car accident I had years ago. I went in wanting pain relief and NO pills, he read thru what I had been thru and came up with 2 options for my situation. Love him
