List of Kent A Karren Md's Reviews
I had gone to this doctor many years ago. We scheduled an appointment for my mother and another a week later for myself. MY 86 year old mother was in tears when we left his office. She had a stroke a year ago and he was incredibly insensitive, abrupt and downright rude treating her. I went back for my appointment angry and intended to mention the incident at the end of my appointment. I never did as he was very abrupt and rude with me, too. I would NEVER suggest anyone go to see this doctor. He needs to retire.

The office was great to work me in on a Friday afternoon when I was diagnosed with shingles in my eye. The office staff are all nice and efficient. The dr. offers no compassion and seems uninterested in the patient. Although there were not yet any blisters on the surface of my eye, there were blisters on the rim and it was only day 2 of the rash. He instructed me to call the on call doctor over the weekend if I needed drops. I'm not a doctor, but what were the chances that the rash wasn't going to my eye from the blisters on the rim? The on call doc called in an Rx for drops for me, but he also seemed bothered by the whole thing... I'll be doing my follow-up exam elsewhere and I cannot recommend this doctor.

Not Impressed and Will Never Return. I left not knowing what he found in the eye exam. His assistant did an incomplete refraction and charged me for it. I got nothing. When I complained a day later, they said they were going to refund my money, but a week later - nothing. I am submitting a complaint to the medical board.

His office charged me for a refraction they never completed. When I asked for a refund they said they would refund, but they never did, I had to contact my bank. Dr. Karren did an eye check, I left with no idea what the health of my eyes were, the reason I went there in the first place. I am a senior and I don't like being treated this way.

I have had this happen to me 2 times. The first time I was in the office 4 hours. He has too many patients!

I have been with him for over 10 years. The practice is getting poor, the service is very poor. Go somewhere else.

After many years of seeing Dr. Karren in Florence,the past 2 years his optometrist staff has given me three wrong prescriptions for glasses which I had to have remade. The prescription card I was given in July didn't have all of the prescription written on it. Today I was given a card with my prescription written on it. I requested a computer print out and guess what, the two were different. This is third time this has happened

Dr. Karren didn't take time to explain the surgery to me but later claimed he did. His staff tried not show their impatience with one more Medicare cataract patient but did not disguise it well. I used my Medicare option for a second opinion and found a much better place to have the surgery and the second place was considerably less expensive so I was able to afford a more involved surgery than the basic one. I've heard that Karren is a decent surgeon but I would NOT recommend him based on my
