Dr. Karkow is one of the nicest doctors I have ever had. She is personable, she does a thorough job examining you, asking you questions and prescribes accurate treatment for your TMJ/ TMD problems. She tries to avoid surgery at all costs; with healthcare costs high, this is good news for me. I have never had a bad visit and I am happy that I came upon this site because I was incredibly disconcerted by the negative comments of some people. However, I was not entirely surprised because, in general, people are more likely to complain about things than express their contentment with them. \r

I felt as though I needed to defend her because I wouldn't want someone with TMJ/D problems to decide not to see her based on complaints of very FEW patients. Her main goal is to get her patients feeling better as soon as possible, which is what I look for in a good doctor. I highly recommend her if you have jaw-related problems.
Pros: Quality treatment, on-time, personable
