Patient Experience Reviews
First time patient and the staff was amazing
Area was clean and bright. Everyone was positive and helpful. I understand what my next moves might be.
Everyone did a great job! :)
GOOD
I felt like everything was covered in a short amount of time. I appreciate that.
Love the doctor and staff that's why I chose university for my care
Dr. Karns was in a huge rush to get me out of there. He would have been out of the room in under two minutes if I didn't stop him when his hand was on the door. My xray was good so he didn't seem to show any care for the pain from my injury. For one example, I asked him, "Should I wear knees braces as they heal?" He answered, "I don't know." I only chose him because he had positive reviews online but he was in a huge rush and couldn't offer any helpful advice. Robotic like bed-side manner. Thankfully when I told the nurse that I still had questions but that Karns had already ran out of the room, she sat down and said, "ask me." And she was very helpful and kind. If Karns is going for speed, he's killing it. If he's going for empathetic and helpful, he's got a long way to go.
Dr. Karns is the best orthopedist I have ever seen, He is thorough, knowledgeable, and concerned.
All good
This office and Dr Karns were awesome. They answered my questions, gave me answers, and recommended a treatment for my ankles.
Michael Karns is the real deal. Great doctor great staff.
Provided solution for condition and it worked
Outstanding care by Dr karns!
Very good experience.
Excellent experience !!!!!
Excellent. He took his time and explained the alternatives that I have with my injured knee. Very professional and knowledgeable.
Excellent doctor but I do not like being told to see the P.A. When my appointment had been made with the doctor. I refused and the doctor came in soon after. I know he is very busy but I will not turn over my care for broken bones to someone who only went to post undergrad 2 years versus the doctor 's schooling and training being 8 years or more. This is a pattern everywhere and I consider it risky and fraught with problems.
Excellent care by Dr. Karns & Team
Very good experience. Explained every step he was doing. Understood everything and was very gentle giving a shot. Which I get very nervous getting shots.
I was treated with utmost respect
Dr and staff was great. Helpful, knowledgeable and caring. Love this whole office. I've been there with my kids as well, excellent care
All staff in this suite were polite and professional. They explained everything that was going on and ans
Dr. Karns listened to myneeds and helped me meet the goals I had. I finally am functioning after 5 months. He is amazing!
Thanks very much. I'm walking without pain for the first time in two months. I hope this injection last a long time. Dr. Karns is a real professional and a kind person. Thanks
I have not yet had the test that was ordered for me by this provider, so that is why they have not checked in with me on the results.
Dr Michael Karns is an excellent physician. His nurse is very attentive as well.
He was wonderful. Understanding. Knowledgeable. Kind. Terrific experience
I really appreciate his time and his conservative approach to my health. I feel I'm getting the best of care and I really appreciate it!
Dr. Karns provided an easily-understandable explanation of my diagnosis, even referencing my recent x-rays to aid In describing my Issue. ***
The office staff was excellent.
Very comfortable and nicely done
