Deborah Karm, Md's Online Review Report Card

I wanted to share my experience being a patient of Dr. Karm. In my opinion, Dr. Karm performed two cervical biopsies on me without appropriate pain management. The first time she performed this procedure on me, she said told me to take an aspirin before I arrived. Then prior to taking the biopsy she told me it might "Pinch" or there might be some "Pressure." I didn't know what to expect since I had never had this procedure done outside of a surgical room under anesthesia with a previous doctor. After the experiencing this procedure with Dr. Karm, I found this procedure to be incredibly painful - and was really shocked that all I was provided was advice to take an aspirin prior to arriving. The second time Dr. Karm needed to perform a cervical biopsy on me, I asked her if I could have something for pain management and she said no because, "It's too quick of a procedure to justify needing pain management." She went on to explain that the pain management she could provide would take longer than the procedure itself, so she said she would not be providing pain management for my cervical biopsy for that reason. Taking an aspirin prior to having someone perform a biopsy that felt like having your cervix hole punched repeatedly was not proper pain management as far as my needs were concerned. In my experience, Dermatologists perform skin biopsies and Dentists pull teeth quickly, but both do so with appropriate pain management. I feel the amount of time it takes to perform a procedure does not equate to the level of pain management needed.

Excellent Dr! Very caring and explained my issues. I waited several months for a new patient appointment but worth the wait!

Dr. Karm is 5 out of 5 Dr. Karm is always caring and takes time with you. She is available to listen and answer questions. I always have a great patient experience in the office.

Wonderful profesional. Really listened and I needed some follow ups which she handled very quickly, providing me with peace of mind after a test.

Dr. Karm was kind, caring and personable. She explained every step of the procedure and made sure i was comfortable. She listened to my concerns and provided helpful advice. I highly recommend her.

Absolutely like this doctor. She was professional and approachable, friendly. Called me as soon as she had results. I was her mom’s patient also and she was a great doctor. The Apple didn’t fall too far from the tree. 😃

Loved this doctor! She listened!! Asked questions and I didn’t feel rushed. She was sweet too. So thankful I found her!

Super and nice Doctor She was a great listener and addressed all my concerns. Easy to talk to, made me feel important and comfortable. Excellent experience seeing Dr. Karm.

I initially got recommended to Dr. Karm from my previous gynecologist, due to her departure. I am so thankful my previous doctor recommended Dr. Karm, because she is truly phenomenal. My first appointment with her, she explained everything well, took the time to answer all of my questions, and did everything in a timely manner. My second appointment with her, I got my Nexplanon replaced. She walked me through the whole procedure (before and during), and helped calm my anxiety for it. She made sure my comfortability was her priority the entire time. Even though I had a good amount of anxiety during the appointment, I knew I was in great hands. 10/10 recommend Dr. Karm.

Dr Karm is great ! Listens and compassionate . Thorough in her exams , gentle and gives a thorough explanations to questions
