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.

On the fence...
I have no doubt he is a sharp cardiologist but as others have mentioned, the amount of tests he wants is a bit extreme, i think i'm on my 10th referral appointment and i've only seen him a few times. He absolutely has the 'my way or the highway' attitude and is a bit arrogant. His staff is extremely friendly but i really want someone that doesn't get offended if i have my own concerns, i want someone to listen to me and maybe give me some options which i feel like i have not got from this doctor.

Dr. Karkal is knowledgeable and attentive but demands too many tests. He wants to see me every 6 weeks and gives me an echocardiogram every time I'm in the office. My cardiac health isn't that bad.

Did not like this man demanding statements. Found another but Dr. Karkal has not forwarded my records to my new doctor. I wanted a 2nd opinion. This has been going on since June 2016 and here it is November 20126.
