The best Dr. that I have seen in a long time. He is compassionate about what he does and was very interested in what I had to say. He made me feel comfortable and never made me feel rushed. I wish there were more Doctors like him.

Dr Karnman is great! during our appt. my husband & I found a very professional, knowledgeable doctor who took time to answer our questions, & had a bedside manner that made us appreciate our choice to see him. My arthritis symptoms seemed less worrisome for me after his thorough explanation of why I was suffering with my achy swollen joints, etc., there is hope to get better. :)I felt relieved. My husband said “I like him.”“He’s the one” if you need a good R doctor.

He is a wonderful doctor. He listens attentively to what I am saying. Answered all my questions of concern. Explained the process of testing procedures for Arthritis. He advised me of surgery for dupuytrens in my hand & giving a referral to a hand doctor.When I left doctor Karnam’s office I had a positive experience & was advised when I would receive the testing results. The doctor set a time frame for the next appointment. I will definitely refer him to anyone that needs a rheumatologists.He spent more time with me than normal doctors.
