“Dr Monika Karakattu and her nurses went above and beyond to care for me today. They spent some extra time dealing with some ear wax issue I had and also showed concern for my leg problems. Compared to my former doctor at ECHP I was so relieved to have a doctor treat me like a family member.”

I appreciate Lisa taking the time out to go through my family history, my medical history, my medication, and making sure my chart was correct. Dr. Karakattu was phenomenal. She always listens to my problems. She always takes the time and concern to listen to everything that we have going on. Mental health is just as important to her as it is to myself, and that's what I really appreciate about Dr. Karakattu. The front office also helped me manage my schedule, make sure everything was right on my way out, everything was seamless. Well done. Thank you.

The nurses listened to me about the need to do a manual blood pressure. They were polite and efficient. Dr. listened to my explanation about my cardiologist statement that I should have only manual blood pressure to ensure correct measurements.
