Excellent Dr and surgeon
-
Dr. Karpoff is a fantastic doctor. I feel like he really cares about me. He listens to my concerns, and is patient in answering my millions of questions. He has a fantastic bed side manner with me. He teases and makes jokes when appropriate and is serious when need be. He broke down the test results I have had and made sure I understood everything about what was and is going on with my body. I am very thankful to have him as my surgeon and doctor. I would be willing to drive hours just to keep him. Which I hope I never have to do but I would be willing.

Explained in detail my Medical Situation. Spoke about my options. Answered my questions.
-
Good surgeon terrible bedside manner. Does not look at mammo results with you- just leaves paper for you to look at by yourself so if you have questions he is already gone. Does not talk about patient talks about himself
