Dr. Karns is excellent, he does move quickly (I'm sure because he is in high demand), but he made sure that I felt seen and cared for and took the time to continue building the personal connection with myself and my husband. He made sure that we had no additional questions, that we were set for surgery and the post-surgery follow up and that my questions about PT were answered and that I got the notes that I needed for my post-surgery care.

I have no complaints about the care provider my only complaint was the receptionist had a attitude and I told the Doctor that. I was told she was only there in a temporary basis. The black lady does not need a job like that if she has to work with a lot of people.

Dr. Karns is the provider I see when/if my situation seems to require his area of expertise. I suffered a bad fall the week before and was able to get an appointment to see him in order to share my concerns. As always, everyone involved in the appointment was very kind and professional.

I truly appreciate the experience I have when I see Dr Karns. He and his staff are always courteous, professional, pleasant, efficient. If Dr Karns is a few minutes late for me while he sees another patient, I don't mind. I know that when it's my turn, he will take the time with me. He has NEVER made me feel like he was rushed, impatient to get to the next patient, He always made me feel like I was his only patient and that I value in my care giver.

Industry Relationships
University Hospitals is committed to transparency in our interactions with industry partners, such as pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device companies. At UH, we disclose practitioner and their family members’ ownership and intellectual property rights that are or in the process of being commercialized. In addition, we disclose payments to employed practitioners of $5,000 or more from companies with which the practitioners interact as part of their professional activities. These practitioner-industry relationships assist in developing new drugs, devices and therapies and in providing medical education aimed at improving quality of care and enhancing clinical outcomes. At the same time, UH understands that these relationships may create a conflict of interest. In providing this information, UH desires to assist patients in talking with their practitioners about industry relationships and how those relationships may impact their medical care.
UH practitioners seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, practitioners report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Office of Outside Interests annually. We review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care and purchasing decisions.

As of December 31, 2016, Michael Karns did not disclose any Outside Relationships with Industry.
