July 1, 2019Mary Anne P.Verified patient
Dr. Karns is great at understanding your past medical history and not trying to push you to take new paths and apply a series of tests you’ve already done, which I’ve learned expect from most doctors.
Furthermore he uses technology for communication which makes getting answers and suggestions really simple.
