Nicholas Karyotakis, MD

He is great. Polite, friendly, knowledgeable, and has a postive attitude. Not sure what Rachel C. saying in her post but when I read her post I was like I think she went to a different doctor cause nothing about what she described about doctor Karyotakis was what I experienced. Anyway, try it for yourselves and be the judge of who he really is, cause my previous doctor passed away from colon cancer and I never thought I found a great doctor until I meet Dr. Karyotakis. I recently did a colonscopy and endoscopy and I found out that I have some issues and he is helping me with treatments to cure my illness. He is a great doctor.

Dr. Karyotakis was extremely helpful and knowledgable, I found him here on Unilocal.He’d originally prescribed both a colonscopy and a upper GI, and on the day of I got a little nervous and asked to cancel the GI. He didn’t pressure me at all and was completely understanding and said that whenever I was ready he would do that.
Then, afterwards, he has been extremely patient and understanding with my financial situation as well.
Five stars.
note: I’ve had a number of procedures over the course of my life (10 – 12?) and have a pretty good idea of what I’m looking for when dealing with medical practitioners.

I would rate him zero stars if that were possible. He knows absolutely nothing, does not try to help, and is rude and arrogant on top of everything. First, I was told that the over the counter drugs I was taking was all that could be done for me. When I pushed him because I was in sever pain daily despite being taking tums nearly every half hour and prevacid and nexium daily, he gave me a variety of different drugs and pain pills, which only mad me sicker.
Eventually, I persuaded him to do an endoscopy; as a result, I was told that I had severe gastronomy and bleeding ulcers. When I inquired as to possible courses of treatment he claimed that nothing could be done, it was all due to stress and that if I stayed positive, the conditions would heal themselves. Needless to say, this was could not be further from the truth. I
remained in severe pain for years until finally finding a better doctor who was actually willing to help. If that was not enough, he refused to give my new doctor my medical records, claiming I never was a patient, I had to get a hold of his billing clerk personally, who finally released the records claiming it was a «system error.»
I would not wish this doctor upon my worst enemy. Waste of thousands of dollars, but more importantly left me in pain.

Dr. Karyotakis is fantastic. He’s the perfect combination of personable, talented, and dedicated, all of which you want in a kind of doctor where no problem is readily apparent. He will take the time to figure out what’s wrong and guide you toward the best solution.

Good knowledgeable doctor. Very thorough. Helped find what was wrong with me with all other doctors just scratched their heads.
