After everything was explained to me, it was a lot of information and I actually broke and both Dr. Karp and her assistant was there to comfort me and ensure gave me encouragement that everything was going to be fine. They explained everything and I was able to get myself together rather quickly, ask questions and I felt really good about it once I left. So thank you and y'all do amazing work.

My main complaint is the amount of time you have to wait for your appointment. They are always running 1.5 to 2 hours behind on appointments. This is not good for elderly patients. I understand emergencies happen, but this has happened each time we have visited. Something needs to change.
