Dr Kara has been one of the best doctors for me. He takes time to go over things and offer suggestions that I would not have thought about otherwise. I hardly ever have to wait more that 5 mins when I have an appointment. I can't say enough great things about him. Great guy! I highly recommend him!!!!

Dr. Kara listens very attentively to my concerns, answers all my questions and provides resolution to any issues going on with my health. The nurses have great attitudes and all greet with a smile. Finally, they're efficient with time management, not a long wait time to be seen.

This is my first year. I just started this year with Dr. Kara and it's the best decision I've made. I love how I can freely talk to Dr. Kara about any health issues I'm having. I like how easy our conversations are. He's a great doctor. I have recommended him to another friend of mine, leaving our doctor retire, whatever, but I have also recommended Dr. Kara to my best friend.

The doctor had zero knowledge of a particular medication I mentioned and recommended surgery for a condition easily treated by an inexpensive medication.

Hi, perhaps maybe internal operations could have a more streamlined communication when medical requests come through via fax and are uplated into MyChart. We had an issue where I came in specifically for a surgical clearance and had the office of the surgical orthopedic fax over the clearance form, surgical clearance form, and it was not received even though they confirmed they had faxed it over. The nurse that was caring for me to do, you know, the pre-assessments before I actually saw the doctor, she was kind enough to double check and sure enough, it was there. They just had not acknowledged the facts. So if that fact, she did not double check, my whole day would have been ruined and to set up my schedule for surgery would have been a failure on my end, meaning that I would have ?
