I was so uneasy going into this appointment, knowing it was most likely going to end in a needed surgery. Dr. Karp (and her staff) were very extremely nice, extremely professional, and put me at ease right off. Dr. Karp made me feel that I was in the hands of someone, who was not only knowledgeable, but in tune with my case. Although, I was a new patient, it didn't take me any time at all to realize she had reviewed my case and even dug into my past Dr's notes just in the few minutes I had handed them my new patient info, before she walked into the office with me. I had no problem trusting this Dr.

I don't see room to make the practice much better. Everyone is so friendly and makes you feel like you mean something to them. That's because we really do. I've never been to a hospital or doctor's office that's so friendly. The hospital was the first hospital I've ever been to where you didn't feel like a burden to be taken care of. Some hospitals the staff acts like they don't want to work or the people aren't friendly. Some you hear the staff gossiping about other staff even the patients. They'll stand around talking instead of taking care of of the patients like they're supposed to. Making the patients wait long periods of time. Wellstar everyone treats each other with respect and you can really tell the team enjoys their job and working with the other staff members. Everyone worked together to give you a great experience in a hospital. DR karp is a miracle worker. She has always taken time to answer my questions without acting like it's not important. She never rushes out. She's a very patient and kind doctor. She really makes you feel like you're cared about and she always gives you the best of care. Her staff is always so cheerful and makes you feel so welcomed. They are all great. DR karp and wellstar Hospital work together to make your time there as pleasant and friendly as possible. The nurses sent me a get well soon card and signed it and I've never had so many staff members call to check to see how I was doing. Thanks Dr karp and wellstar Hospital

This is an excellent and wonderful practice- I feel that it is groundbreaking!! I am so thankful for the blessing I get from these people!!! Dr. Karp is amazing and superior in every way. Her nurse ( pronounced Myra but I can't spell it) has a great gift of loving service to us. She practices a vocation/ she is called to her work like Dr. Karp is.

The only hiccup in my first visit was my appt was at 2 and I didn't see the doctor until 3:45. It was a very long wait since I had been there since 1:30. Other than that I was satisfied with the visit.

I had a long wait in the exam room and after waiting more than an hour someone finally came in with an explanation that there was an equipment failure during a procedure for another patient which delayed Dr Karp. I was fine with explanation but was not pleased that no one saw fit to say something earlier...I politely made the technician aware of my disappointment. When Dr Karp finally came in, she did not offer any explanation or apology which was another disappointment. I appreciate Dr Karps' professional expertise and experience, but is each patient not of equal value and worthy of respect?

Dr. Karp was extremely helpful, patient and took time to answer all of my questions. I felt much better that my condition is manageable. Everyone in the office was friendly and caring.

The only hiccup in my first visit was my appt was at 2 and I didn't see the doctor until 3:45. It was a very long wait since I had been there since 1:30. Other than that I was satisfied with the visit.

I had a long wait in the exam room and after waiting more than an hour someone finally came in with an explanation that there was an equipment failure during a procedure for another patient which delayed Dr Karp. I was fine with explanation but was not pleased that no one saw fit to say something earlier...I politely made the technician aware of my disappointment. When Dr Karp finally came in, she did not offer any explanation or apology which was another disappointment. I appreciate Dr Karps' professional expertise and experience, but is each patient not of equal value and worthy of respect?

My experience was phenomenal from the time I walked in with the front office staff. Everyone was very attentive. I felt very informed and understood what was going on with my body. So I'm definitely happy to be under her care. And I would definitely recommend this office to anyone that's having similar problems.

It took over an hour to be seen but it was explained she was wrapping up with a procedure. Other than the wait it went very good and she listened to all my concerns.

I appreciate the fact that they have a waiting list to call if there are cancellations for appointments. That moved my appointment up by about 4 months.

This is an excellent and wonderful practice- I feel that it is groundbreaking!! I am so thankful for the blessing I get from these people!!! Dr. Karp is amazing and superior in every way. Her nurse ( pronounced Myra but I can't spell it) has a great gift of loving service to us. She practices a vocation/ she is called to her work like Dr. Karp is.

I don't see room to make the practice much better. Everyone is so friendly and makes you feel like you mean something to them. That's because we really do. I've never been to a hospital or doctor's office that's so friendly. The hospital was the first hospital I've ever been to where you didn't feel like a burden to be taken care of. Some hospitals the staff acts like they don't want to work or the people aren't friendly. Some you hear the staff gossiping about other staff even the patients. They'll stand around talking instead of taking care of of the patients like they're supposed to. Making the patients wait long periods of time. Wellstar everyone treats each other with respect and you can really tell the team enjoys their job and working with the other staff members. Everyone worked together to give you a great experience in a hospital. DR karp is a miracle worker. She has always taken time to answer my questions without acting like it's not important. She never rushes out. She's a very patient and kind doctor. She really makes you feel like you're cared about and she always gives you the best of care. Her staff is always so cheerful and makes you feel so welcomed. They are all great. DR karp and wellstar Hospital work together to make your time there as pleasant and friendly as possible. The nurses sent me a get well soon card and signed it and I've never had so many staff members call to check to see how I was doing. Thanks Dr karp and wellstar Hospital

I was so uneasy going into this appointment, knowing it was most likely going to end in a needed surgery. Dr. Karp (and her staff) were very extremely nice, extremely professional, and put me at ease right off. Dr. Karp made me feel that I was in the hands of someone, who was not only knowledgeable, but in tune with my case. Although, I was a new patient, it didn't take me any time at all to realize she had reviewed my case and even dug into my past Dr's notes just in the few minutes I had handed them my new patient info, before she walked into the office with me. I had no problem trusting this Dr.

I'm appreciative that Dr. Karp called me after hours to listen to my concerns and tell me what to do next instead of an answering service. I felt very personalized and that she cares.
