Patient Reviews
Jun 28, 2022
Starting with the initial meeting with Dr. Karam and his staff, about my hernia surgery, I found this journey to be easy with clear instructions with no surprises. I was in at 8AM and out by 3PM. I followed the expected instructions and experienced mild discomfort. I would recommend Dr. Karam and his staff.
