After a fall, I spoke with the Raleigh Hills Clinic. She was able to fit me into Dr Karam's schedule, between previously scheduled appointments. Therefore, I expected to wait to see him. All of the staff that I interacted with were friendly, efficient and caring. I am very pleased to be a patient.

This was my first visit with Dr. Karam (establishing him as a new primary care after getting new insurance-previously with Kaiser) and he was really genuine and easy to talk to. I don't think a GP has ever spent so much time just talking to me. I tend to get really bad white coat phobia but I didn't experience any of that this time. Probably the most pleasant medical visit I've had!
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
David was great. He listened very well and was easily able to answer any question I had during the visit. He was respectful and knowledgeable. It is a pleasure to have him as my new GP. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new Dr.
