Dr. Karami, MD

"Dr Karami is just looking to push meds and bill you as much as he can. No consideration for your situation or interest in actually helping you."

"Terrible service, organization and rude staff. Dr. Karami and his staff are some of the worst professionals I have met in the medical industry. They struggled to recall any of the past conversations we had and regularly sent prescriptions to pharmacies across the valley due to not retaining info or taking notes on anything we discussed. The receptionist even went as far as to threaten to not call in a new prescription for me when I questioned why I was being billed hundreds of dollars for a 5 minute FaceTime appointment with Dr. Karami. Stay away."

"Buckle up: I’m here to let you know exactly what the experience is like. One of the worst experiences I have ever had with medical care! First warning sign was he was very easy to get into when other psychiatrists have longer waiting lists. He told me it was because people don’t trust him because he is a foreigner, which, after my experience, I realize that is not why people don’t trust him. He’s Always late to appointments Zero sense of urgency! He’s in the back and I hear the microwave making something while I am waiting in lobby 15 minutes over appt time Next appointment, I saw the client before me come out, waited until 15 minutes past appt time again and I here the doctor from the back, “oh is someone here for me????” Then waited another few minutes while he made something in the microwave.... I Called on Wednesday to get refill and told receptionist what was going on. No call back. I called again Friday and no answer and no call back. Finally received call Sunday at 430pm, 30 minutes before Walgreens closed and dr Karami ordered my prescription. Got to pharmacy and he had ordered the wrong prescription. Called him back and no answer. Went 3 days without any medicine. Thanks doc. Next bad experience is he ordered me a prescription that was on backorder. Which is understandable he didn’t know. But he did not call the pharmacy to check the next prescription he ordered me to see if they had it, second prescription was also on backorder..... Dr doesn’t get back to you for 5 days when you have no medication and need a refill but expects you to call him 72 hours before your appt to need to cancel or else you get a steep 75 dollar fee. Yes which I had to pay!!! No leniency there, very hypocritical policy as I went 72 hours without medicine and I had to pay 75 dollars because I had something come up and had to cancel the appointment with 72 hours. Receptionist is unorganized and the other reviews that talk about billing problems?? Yeah totally true!!! They mess up billing bad. Gave them my insurance number 4 times, not exaggerating.... twice on the phone before first appointment: once in person on first appointment, which when that happened I called heather and told her I already gave it to her. She denied it and told me that I had never given it to her. My response was yes I did and you called me and told me my insurance would pay 90 and that I would be responsible for 10. She then admitted she probably lost it..... Lastly I gave it to her on my 2nd appointment when it was finally added correctly. This was a month and a half into seeing them and they still have not billed my insurance! To this day I still have not received a bill because of it, I have no idea how much I owe them. It’s an example of how their office runs. Overall I was clearly not happy with my experience. I hope that they can read this review and make changes, I would like to see people have a better experience then I did."

"Dr. Karami is a caring compassionate doctor. He seemed to me to really understand that I needed someone to talk to and he was very willing to listen and give some insightful advice. I really felt like he understood me and cared for me. I haven't had that in a psychiatrist in a very long time. I have been sick for over 20 years and he is adjusting my medications and really trying to get it right. I don't understand the negative reviews that I have read on this site.....he is a very kind and understanding physician. I would recommend him to anyone....including my own family."

"Dr. Karami and his staff are simply amazing. I am so happy I was referred here! They are all SO SO SO helpful and kind. I will be a patient for life! 12-8-15 I have to unfortunately update my review... I called today to get an appointment. I have been off my meds for a while and wasn't able to make an appointment due to work schedule changes. Well, when I called (after I'd already left a message the day before with no return call) they said he's closed my chart and won't see me due to it being over 3 months since my last visit. Really? I am not sure if this is common with psychiatrists, but regardless if it is or isn't, how terrible is this? They won't even make me an appointment as a new client again. I really did love going here. The staff was great. But this really broke my heart. I feel very let down in a time of need, which is what I thought doctors were there for. Time to find a new place I suppose. Just be prepared to have the door shut in your face if you don't keep going to them."
