Reception staff is always amazing! They are very efficient, transparent, and patient. I'm always checked in quickly even if there are others ahead of me.

All good so far, only first visit
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
This was a truly great Doctor's visit. My previous PCP retired at the end of March. I made a cold call/visit to Legacy Southwest and Dr. Karam was taking new patients. He spent quite a bit of time with me, got all of my medications over to the pharmacy, got me lined up for x-rays on my hip at Good Sam. He Is also Initiating a referral to an Orthopedic Surgeon for me. All this In a few days. I couldn't be happier.

This was my initial visit w Dr Karam & I was very impressed by him & feel he will be a great PCP for me & my husband. Grateful to have found him.

I have had (and am currently having, as a badly injured worker) a history of negative experiences with the medical community. Being a patient of Legacy Health and Dr. Karam's have been nothing short of miracles to me. Dr. Karam is one of, if not the best, doctors I have ever had. He makes me feel cared about as a patient and human being. With my history and life experience, I am deeply affected by members of the medical community such as Dr. Karam and those I'd seen prior down the road at Legacy Urgent Care RH. I couldn't speak highly enough about my experience with Legacy Health or of Dr. Karam - nor fully convey how much those positive experiences and having such a doctor has meant to me. Thank you for employing such outstanding health care heroes

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
The staff in the waiting room was very unhelpful, they were gossiping, hanging out, and not paying attention to their job. I was accidentally an hour early for my appointment and wasn't made aware of my situation until 20mins waiting in the waiting room. When I came back right on time I was told to wait, another 20 mins go by after my appointment time and finally someone calls me back. ANOTHER 20mins goes by until I see my provider. I made this appointment over three months ago and had a list of things I wanted to address with my doctor but because the wait staff was so uncaring I only had about 10 mins with my doctor before I had to leave because my appointment was almost an hour behind schedule. I just felt like none of the service people valued my time at all...or the fact that I had to take work off for this.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I am always treated politely and professionally by Dr. Karam and his Team. Very happy with the care I have received.
