“I was very pleased with the amount of time Dr. Karroum spent with me getting my history and explaining the treatment options available to me. He was very knowledgeable about RLS, was forthcoming about my prognosis, patient with my questions, and conveyed a willingness to work with me to achieve an optimal outcome. I recommend him highly.”

The doctor made inappropriate inquiries regarding my sexual health and made broad characterizations about my my mental health. Extremely uncomfortable and I will not return.

Dr. Karroum was very patient, THOROUGH, and kind. Was wary of doing an appointment remotely/over the internet, but Dr. Karroum was great over the computer. Would recommend him to others.

The clinicians were fine. Both Dr.Karroum and Dr. Akberzie were excellent. However,...
Zoc Doc stinks (including this app which had already lost an extensive response from me.)
If the visit is conducted via Zoom and ZocDoc doesn't inform the patient of that fact,, chaos is the result.

Such a useful and informative visit. Dr. Karroum was very knowledgeable and we talked through a bunch of different options. He really took the time to understand what problems I was having, what I'd tried before, and we made a plan for what to try next.
Could not recommend Dr. Karroum more!!

This was my 2nd appointment with Dr. Karroum. He is very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions (there were many) and in no way made me feel rushed. He asked me if there was anything else at the end as he wanted to be sure I had no questions. He followed up on his promises. Highly recommend.

Follow-up visit after sleep apnea diagnosis and treatment via CPAP. Met with Sleep Fellow and then Dr. Karroum. Both very professional and took the time to answer my questions and did so in a positive and comprehensive manner.
