Doctor Karimi was very professional. He made me feel at ease and not rushed. He answered all my questions. I didn't leave his office feeling like I was rushed out. He diagnosed my problem and prescribed the proper treatment. I would definitely recommend him.

July 26, 2015Jean M.Verified patient
Dr. Karimi is amazing! He truly is. I needed a 3rd skin cancer removed from my face and I was genuinely concerned and afraid because of 2 prior experiences with another doctor (who isn't a bad doc). However, with Dr. Karimi's knowledge, skill and expertise I was quickly put at ease and rightly so. The surgery was almost painless and results are astonishingly different. One week post op I have a very faint scar that flows with my 'natural tension lines' - "nice way to say wrinkles" :) I'm a nurse and didn't know that having skin cancer removed could be anything but awful. I'll never let another doc touch my face again. I am eternally grateful!!!
