Nicholas Karyotakis, M.D. - Gastrointestinal Biosciences

After reading some of these reviews, I have to completely disagree. Dr. Karyotakis is very thorough, caring and, as someone said below, easy on the eyes! I have never waited more than 5 minutes for an appointment time while other docs have you sitting around for an hour after your scheduled time. I would highly recommend him to anyone suffering from GI problems.

I went to doctor "K" 3 weeks ago. Based on his website I felt I was in good hands with the best doctor in town. My firls visit was brief and very costly ($250.00) he didn't ask much questions but said i needed an endoscopy procedure asap! which costed $1,000 so i went ahead and had it done. on my visit i told him i was in a lot of pain and he gave me some samples that did NOTHING for my symptoms!!!!! He's staff is so incompetent.. i needed a doctor's note to clear me from physical training in school because due to my severe stomach pains i couldn't do. They never faxed it. i called 3 times and nothing. They dont return phone calls either. It's 3 weeks later and i know nothing of my results! i have no diagnose. i been miserable all this time in so much pain and discomfort. So i started researching about him and i came across this bad reviews about him which I agree 110%!!!!!!! i'm not waisting my time and money anymore. I'm going to another doctor who can HELP ME!!! this Doctor gave me the impression that is all about money. He just doesn't care for the patience well being. He did NOTHING FOR ME!

Cons: PRICEY, INCOMPETENT, NEGLIGENT AND UNPROFESIONAL

Professional, responsive, knowledgeable. This is what you want from a doctor. I am mystified by the negative reviews I have read. Medical procedures are expensive. So too are office visits with any professional. I did not have to wait an eternity to get in for an appointment, and he did not keep me waiting very long, which is unusual. Medical procedures were promptly scheduled, with good explanation and follow up. He is personable and very easy on the eyes.

Pros: Knowledgeable, professional, responsive

Cons: None

I saw a review on N Karyotakis on city search a few months ago, it was glowing, he was rated almost 5 stars. In fact he still is. I wonder if a family member wrote that review, as I wasted much money and time going to an incompentant Doc because of this website. Be warned people thisw Docs will do nothing and cost you plenty. This Doc is a mess, he is imcompentant, his staff are the worst. He is rude, dismissive, and he will not get to the root of your stomach issues. He seems all about money to me.. you get a short visit, little attention and a hefty bill... There are good Docs out there, he is not one of them.

I went to see this Doctor from the 1 review on insiderpages. Well he is not all that. Yes, he is frendly but that is where it ends. He will not give you test results, not return phone calls, his staff is the worst I have ever encounted.. oh yes and did I mention his prices are very expensive. If you do decide to go to him, he will spend 5 minutes with you, give you a big smile, and send you off to take about 5 thousand $ worth of tests. He will than charge 250.00 for that 5 minutes, OK he gives you some stomach medicine. I have been with him for 7 months, I decided to finally stop his abusive relationship when I got very ill and could not drive, I was in terrible pain and I needed to talk to him, HE WOULD NOT CALL ME, HE SAID I HAD TO COME IN..I GUESS THEY RAISED HIS COUNTRY CLUB MEMBERSHIP. It than took about 2 months of unretuned phone calls to get my files. I am seeing another DOC. Don't let his smile fool you. Be careful with this one!!!!

This doctor, is very negligent, i have gone several times 1st time was for a consultation, 2nd was for an endoscopy, and 3rd for a follow up. 1st time he prescribed an endoscopy, 2nd time he confirmed i had polyps, then 3rd time he told me that he never said i had polyps, and was about to leave without telling me that i had an ulcer! As he lead me to the waiting room after the follow up he literaly tossed me the Prevacid pills in my direction without making any eye contact. Very rude!

Pros: none

Cons: likes to prescribe you prescription pills so you can get worse, and he can rake in the money.
