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.

Incredible Surgeon
Dr, Karp saw my son in the ER for an inguinal hernia, which we then had to repair one month later. Dr. Karp is kind, patient, and took the time to explain everything to my son. He has years of experience and makes you feel calm. He gave me his cell phone number and told me to call him with any issues. We had the surgery at West Boca and were very happy with the experience.

Really happy we meet Dr. Karpp. We had a young teen with emergency room admit with internal bleeding. Karpp was calm, direct and genuinely concerned with my son's health. Very hands on, took his time, and treated my son like his own. He is a gem of a doctor.

Dr. Karp is a Top notch Pediatrioc surgeon but more importanly an amazing man who's love for children truley make him "a one of kind" surgeon. In my darkest hour , with my daugherts life on line he came in and calmed us all down. He put me @ ease in a moment which I never thought could be possible. We went to 3 hospitals and each one once they heard we had Dr Karp they all said the same thing. You are in the best hands and they were 100% right. He was like an angel sent from heaven. The surgery was a success and could not be happier. If your lucky enough as we were to get Dr Karp you cen rest aussred your child is in teh best possible hands! We love Dr. Karp!

Dr Karp treated our young daughter with such respect and care. He explains everything he was doing prior to starting, and he ordered an ultrasound to be certain what was causing her pain. He is so calm, but knowledgeable and factual. He gave us hope during during a horrible situation that was unresolved. He accurately determined what was wrong, operated the same day, and has showered her with compliments. He undoubtedly receives five stars from our family!

Dr. Karp is an excellent surgeon with a kind and caring bed side manner. He takes time out of his busy schedule to ensure that his patients get the attention and care they need. We are grateful that our son's surgery went better than anticipated and his recovery is quicker than expected. My family is truly grateful to Dr. Karp and have told family and friends about our wonderful experience with him and his support staff.
