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 have had excellent experiences with Dr Karl

Dr. Karl monitors my vision every 3 months. He orders the appropriate test[s] and explains the test results clearly. He answers my queries. Dr. Karl is the best!

He did nothing to help
I went for an emergency appointment because my eyes were extremely irritated for about 5 days. I mentioned I had similar issues in the beginning of the year that I was given drops for at the beginning of the appointment. He said it was just irritation from contacts and nothing else and didn’t give me anything helpful. I went to a different doctor the next day, as my eyes got worse. The other doctor told me it was the same problem I had in the beginning of the year and that Dr. Karl wrote down that this was what I had in my profile. Dr. Karl did not make me aware of what it was. The second doctor gave me eye drops that are making my eyes feel better.

Dr Karl is simply a competent Ophthalmologist. He has treated me and my eye problems for well over 30 years. When necessary he has referred me to other excellent specialists.

Dr. Karl is very thorough with his eye examination. Goes beyond normal eye care. Referred me to follow up with my cardiologist to evaluate condition found in my eye exam.
