Switching dermatologists and meeting Dr. Karls was one of the best things I’ve ever done! He was both patient in listening to my concerns, and efficient in addressing them. I have so many spots, it can be really stressful not knowing what they are. I was able to get an appointment quickly and get all my concerns taken care of the same day! The rest of the staff were great as well! I called and left a message after hours to schedule my appointment and they called me back the next morning. They were very polite and nice when I... read more

My family has been seeing Mike Karl for over 15 years. He is one of the best because he always resolve our eczema flare-up and other skin issues.

The staff at the desk were friendly, patient, and warm. The waiting room was also clean, nice, and fresh. It was extra nice to find some skin cream samplers there: my brother struggles with eczema and I always have dry skin on my feet so this was appreciated. My doctor, Dr. Mike was knowledgeable, clear, empathetic, and understanding. He took immediate action to address my concern on the first visit (instead of scheduling a follow up to address it). Everything was done in a prompt and timely fashion-no excessive waiting. ... read more

First time here. Needed to have large mole removed. Everyone was professional, very friendly. Process was easy. Procedure went off without a hitch. And the cost was toward the lower end of what they estimated over the phone. Overall, an excellent experience.
