"Doctor Karlin and his staff were absolutely professional and I’ve got unbelievable treatment. Usually most of the physicians are in rush to get to the next patient and they don’t explain what caused your problem , so they can make more money perhaps by seeing more patients,, but doctor Karlin not only took his time to diagnose my problem he also took his time to explain me what caused my problem and what I should do to take care it his nurse was very courteous and friendly and as well beautiful smile. Thank you so much for great service and I really appreciate all the staff"
