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.

Best of the best
Relieved my anxiety about the surgery and performed such a great job that I had no pain other than the chest incision When I coughed after the surgery. All tubes came out extremely easy which I hear is rare. And I was out of the hospital and feeling quite normal in just 4 days. I have no doubt that it was due to a professional, touch and expertise. This guy is the best. Staff was great as well.

Dr. Karas performed CABG surgery on me in January 2021 following an emergency heart attack. I am very pleased with his surgery and the following results, basically he saved my life. I enjoyed his professionalism and ability to communicate to me the procedure and prognosis. Thank you Dr. Karas.

Dr. Karas explained my heart condition clearly. His suggestion and encouragement in why I should have a quadruple bypass done on my heart left me with no doubt that there was no other option if I wanted to continue living. At my 82 years of age, his professionalism and encouragement gave me complete confidence.
