Dr. Caralis Reviews
Based on: 2 reviews -Add review
I got an appointment when I needed one.
They kept things moving and on time during my visit.
I received a correct diagnosis and up-to-date treatment.
I was given specific advice on lifestyle changes I can make to improve my health.
The provider really listened, gave me the time I needed, and put me at ease.
We discussed treatment options and choices I have.
The provider addressed traditional and alternative medicine treatment options in an open-minded way.

He acts like it is a pain to answer my questions. Test results are only given when it is convenient for him. I am stil...l waiting for a report on a biopsy; phoned the hospital and the report is back but it will not be convenient for him to give me the results for a few more days. His receptionist is snotty and rude. I am currently in the process of having my records sent to another physician. I've been a registered nurse for 30 years and I know this is not how you should treat patients. more details
