Usually have a wait, as long as 3 hours sometimes but as short as a half hour. Fits in emergency appointments fast. The older staff(his parents??) are SO RUDE, they need to go, but the rest of the nurses are very nice. He has always been very nice to me and pretty helpful with my questions. They need to get a fax machine! Get with the times!
hAD TO WAIT 1 AND 1/2 HOURS TO SEE THE DOCTOR hE THEM REMOVED A SOLAR KARATOSIS FROM MY LIP BY BURNING IT OFF-IT WAS EXCRUCIATING TO SAY THE LEAST. hE BURNED THE LIP FOR SO LONG THAT I HAD A HUGE BLISTER ON MY LOWER LIP THAT DID NOT HEAL FOR OVER 3 WEEKS!!!! nO CREAMS NO PAIN KILLERS NOTHING i WILL NEVER GO BACK TO HIM-i FELT i HAD BEEN ****ED
I am personally happy with Dr. Karakashian. He is very competent, Yes the wait may be long, but in this area, he is the only doctor with whom you can get an appointment in a few days. Everyone else books new patients at least one month out. On two occasions I was able to book an appointment next day. Yes I waited, but I was seen by the doctor and he helped me, quickly and competently.
What a disaster of an experience. His parents should be banned from his office. Waited 2 hours for 15 minute visit w/doctor for biopsies. Was told I had basal cell cancer.I asked for lab report was told he does HIS OWN pathology, no formal report, no pathologist involved. As an RN, I was very skeptical of this handwritten "report". When questioning the Father, I was told to never come back to office. Said they have 43,000 patients and don't need me! Called to get more info so I can go to another doctor and father hung up on ... read more
I stumbled on this site looking for dr phone number. It was great to read everyones input of their experience in the dr.'s office. I actually left after waiting an hour (had to pick up kids) and realizing that the women next to me had there appointment an hour before mine. I couldn't believe that his mom and dad were part of his staff. His mom could give 2 s_ _ _ _ about rescheduling me. It was as if she was doing me a favor to be seen by her son. Needless to say, I have heard he is a great doctor so I will attempt one more ... read more
This was the worst experience I have ever had at a physician's office. His mother and father are extremely rude. The wait was ridiculous. The mother/receptionist was yelling at patients in the waiting room. It was incredible. I wrote the doctor a letter thinking he may not be aware of what is going on in the waiting room but he never responded; either to me or what appears to be a pattern of strange behavior. do yourself a favor - stay away from the pathology thats going on in this guy's family. He can't possibly have good c... read more
Staff extremely rude, wait over 2.5 hours, explanations - some, but knows exactly what he is doing and is a very good doctor. Good diagnosing, good at treatments. Would I go back? Don't want to, but will if I can't find a dr as good as this one. His parents have no business being there.
Dr. K was the worst dermatologist I have ever seen and so unprofessional. After waiting 3 hrs to see him, he had to cut warts off my 3 year old son's legs and then left me with his bloody legs and didn't even bother to cover him with bandages. He gave "ME" a paper sheet to cover his legs. Very unprofessional and he was so quick to get out of the office. His receptionist was BEYOND RUDE a total ****. I would NEVER go back to his office again.
It's been about 7 years since my last visit with Dr. K. First, I would like to say, how glad I am to have found this site! Although I found Dr. K to be kind and knowledgeable, I absolutely detested his parents. His mother was not only rude to the patients, but thought nothing of berating her own son in front of everyone. His father lacks any class when attempting to collect payment. The receptionist I dealt with at the time, appeared very unhappy with her working conditions. Again, this was some time ago. I was actually look... read more
