Dr. Karam was knowledgeable and caring. She listened well and gave excellent explanations about testing and possible diagnosis. Post visit she communicated clearly and timely to explain test results and answer questions.

September 2024

Dr. Karam was exceptional during my virtual visit. It was obvious that she studied my chart prior to my visit because she answered most of questions before I could ask them.

Love Dr Karam

July 2024

Dr. Karam listens and informs you of everything. She is #1

July 2024

This was my first visit with endocrinology. Dr. Karam was efficient, caring and friendly and same time provided explanations of my reason for being there, the test results already obtained and what was to be imaged/measured in future blood and scan results. Her explanation was broad enough to cover my immediate interests, though not so detailed that I was overwhelmed. I look forward to continuing to work with her in my treatment as necessary.

July 2024

One word outstanding.
