"Dr Karlin as always is wonderful to have as my Dr., the only comment was the total visit lasted much longer than usual and involved quite a bit of waiting. I think I was there more than 35 minutes before anyone began the review and in total I was there for almost an hour and a half, which is unusual for the office."
