I had a horrible experience with Dr. Karkar and his office. He treated me with total arrogance. His office is run-down and his brother John, the office manager, never bothered to call me back to discuss my concerns. Among those were the fact that they wouldn't put a crown on my tooth after I had a root canal they recommended (they said Dr. Karkar only uses the CEREC crowns, not covered by my insurance. This is in spite of them knowing my insurance coverage from day one.) I got the feeling that Dr. Karkar was more interested in teaching than helping patients- it's probably more lucrative. In the end I had 2 visits, the first I paid $212 out of pocket. The second exam did not provide any treatment that helped my tooth (at which point I was referred to an endodontist). I contacted my insurance company who told me that they paid Dr. Karkar $710 for my treatments. I requested itemized copies of my bills from John, the second I have not received. The first bill ($212) contained treatment they did not provide (For instance, "therapeutic drug injection") As you can tell, in all I feel that they are crooks.
