I have seen Dr. Karkal for multiple years. After I did some major tests in one office and then visited several years later, he could not locate my labs. So there was nothing to compare. Each time I visit, it takes over 1/2 day and he tries to push as many tests on you as possible. You wait while they get insurance authorization. Now they require a deposit on all tests prior to tests to ensure they get paid even if you have insurance. I have turned down tests and was made to go into his office to hear high pressure techniques to take the lab tests. Even when I tell him I will come back in a few weeks he is like 'I don't want any cardiac episodes to happen to you during this time'. Will never return back.
