Generously attentive, caring, and straightforward. I’m glad I have Dr. Karp as my PCP, and hope to keep him in my care team for as long as possible. Keck Medicine of USC is expensive, that’s true. But Dr. Karp makes sure that he can give me the best care possible - and I’ve never felt like I wasn’t getting anything less than that. Highly recommend!
