Karon Magdalene

I came to see Dr. Karon out of network because she had wonderful recommendations from my pcp and I was severely disappointed in her lack of concern. I waited 3 hrs for my 2nd appt for nothing her to see me for 10 mins and I sobbed the whole way home. If you’re not trying to get pregnant, it’s pointless to see her.

Dr. Karon has seen me through a lot. I hadn't been to her office since 2015 after she did my last laparoscopy because I went to an office closer to home - which turned out to be a nightmare. I called her office, the friendly staff got me in and during my visit she spent over 30 minutes with me. Not only did she explain what was going on, but she found another issue that MANY doctors either overlooked or was uninformed on. Yes, I waited a long time to be seen in the office area as the other reviews state and yes, there was a wait once I got back into my room - but she is worth the wait. I am so thankful for Dr. Karon and her staff. I will save myself the trouble and make the drive and suffer the wait time. Thank you all again!

Would not recommend. I had an appointment a couple months ago. I wanted my yearly checkup and told them that. I was new to the practice. I waited 45 mins after my appointment time to be seen. Then another 20 minutes in the room. Time management is not a priority here. This appointment was also after lunch time, so there's no excuse to have the first patient wait almost an hour after a break. I had my checkup and left. I was then hit up with a $500 lab bill because they sent it to a lab that was out of network. Luckily I had the sense to call them up and ask. After calling several times, different days and different times, I finally spoke to someone at the front desk. She was very pleasant and told me they'll let the lab know they're out of network and they will eat the cost. I was also hit up with almost $100 for the visit. I called several times to the billing department and left messages until I finally tried callung the front desk, again after several calls, so they could have billing call me. My wellness check up is supposed to be covered 100% but because I'm new to the practice and being asked a ton of questions, they decided to bill my insurance as an "issue" appointment which was no longer covered by insurance and would go against my deductible. When I finally talked to billing, they said the office manager said it was due to me discussing issues. So I guess I should have NOT answered any questions and told the PA-C to not ask me anything. I called to talk to the office manager, who then told me that my appointment never should have involved the wellness portion since I was a new patient and they don't "normally" do anything in that first appointment other than intake? So if they weren't supposed to do any checkup, why did the nurse tell me to undress as soon as I was taken to the room? I received different answers as to why billing was done differently. Now I'm forced to pay out of pocket for something that should have been covered 100%. So now I will 100% never go back and warn others to stay away, unless you have money to throw at them and waste a couple hours of your time.

They overbook. I had an initial appointment. They were VERY late in taking me back (over an hour late). The tech, or whatever she was, was VERY rude and insisted upon me getting completely undressed so they could do an ultraound when that had nothing to do with my issue. She was aggressive, and when I told her that I was uncomfortable, she blocked my way out of the room- I had to ask her to move! They don't answer their phone. Another patient tried to call because she was running late; the ladies at the desk were not kind or helpful about her situation. I would not recommend this office.

Dr. Karon has been the best doctor I have ever came across. She delivered all three of my children and I am so grateful for her. Her staff was always so sweet. All three of my children were csections and she really took her time and I hardly have a scar from all three. My first baby was an Emergency csection and I know if I did not have her guidance I would have not felt safe and would have been in complete shock and panic. She really is amazing and I recommend her to everyone.
