Dr Karroum was very patient with us. When he walks in the room, he has reviewed the chart and is ready to answer any question. When there is a problem with the patient's provider or services in their hometown, he is able to address it and solve it.

Dr Karroum IS THE BEST DOCTOR I'VE EVER HAD. HE'S EXCELLENT, compassionate, laughs at my jokes, respects me and my experience and treats me like an adult. He listens and explains, even complicated medical studies. I trust him thoroughly. And I can communicate with him between visits on MyChart conversations/Messages.
