Dr. Pankaj Kumar Karan, MD

Arrogant, rude, condescending and didn't believe my pain.

76 residents in a facility where Dr. Pankaj Karan is the "House Doctor" who makes his cameo appearance once a month, period. The remaining 29 days of the month residents must rely on Dr Pankaj Karan's long distance doctoring via internet for patients he may or may not have ever met; if and when he responds to communication sent to him by facility staff. Omnipresent he is not. Absent he is.

Excellent Doctor! very professional, courteous and honest. Nice & clean office, easy to schedule and provide referrals as needed!

They burned me! I got a laser treatment on my upper lip from Dr. Karan's office and they literally burned me. An area on my upper lip is scabbed over and will likely leave a scar. Joey did my laser...do not use her!I went it to the office to show them and the Pankaj Karan, MD, the head doctor, wouldn't even give me anything for it...he told the receptionist to have me go to the drug store and buy some over the counter products. Really? This is what you want to hear from an establishment who has people that are working from them that are so inept that they don't know how to work the settings on the machine to the point in which it physically harms you!i also have had problem with the unprofessionalism when trying to make an appointment (that is, when they pick up the phone) and at the office. Take my advice, don't get burned like I did!

Dr. Karan is an excellent physician. His office staff is great, very helpful and friendly.

I should have reviewed a while back. I went to see Dr. Pankaj Karen after having horrible experiences with other Dr's/Offices. Dr. Pankaj took the time to explain my procedure, gave his recommendations, and did excellent work. I will definetly be returning to Valley Asthetics and Laser. His staff was friendly and knowledgeable,the office was spotless. In the end..it's about the quality of the work...HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

A rude, judgmental, abrasive, unprofessional, uncaring ego maniac. With a chip on his shoulder. And a god complex. This man has got some issues. He's a child in a mans body. Why anybody would allow this Doctor to put his hands on you, is beyond me. If you read the responses he has given to some of the comments here, you can see the level of professionalism. Please people do your self a favor and stay away from this man. You wonder why I feel this way. I can not discuss my situation at this time. I'm afraid he would know who it is. Too fresh on his mind. I do not enjoy saying this about anybody. I had to.

DO NOT go to this doctor he just want your money. he very very unprofessional snd do care about his patient just care about his fees.

I highly recommend Dr Karan, Valley Aesthetics and Laser, and Greater Valley Physicians Medical. Treament is a little uncomfortable but results are fantastic. Equipment and facility are beautiful and state of the art.

Most of the time I have to see the PA rather than the doctor, very short and with an attitude if you ask something. Lately I have received a lot of wrong information from his staff, I'm the one that has to do followups, there attitude is well I sent it, no empathy or apologies...

Cut off my medication from the Pharmacy for a refill without notice. Medication is critical for my life, had only one pill left. He did not tell the Pharmacy that I need to make an apppointment to see him. Has a attitute if you do not follow what he wants done. He also made a bad judgement on needing a colonoscopy since I am on coumadin. Was upset with me no going. I checked with my cardiologist and he said I could not be off my coumadin for number of days for the colonoscopy.He realize then that he was wrong.Will be looking for another Doctor.

My experience with Dr. Karan was very pleasant. He is professional and courteous. He explained what was going to happen and the plan of care in great detail. Valley Aesthetics and Laser Center is beautiful and clean with state of the art equipment. The prices are extremely competitive also.

Came to the office and was pleasantly surprised! The office is beautiful and the staff was really friendly. I came in because I wanted another opinion on my laser hair removal. I had been paying $700 per treatment at another doctors office and the hair was still there. I read online that Dr. Karan was offering a new laser system that offered 90% hair removal. After just the first treatment, I see the difference. Definitely more of a difference versus the previous doctor. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for skin or hair issues.

He was rude to his staff... right in front of me and other people waiting. He was dismissive and pretentious with me with my condition as well as spoke if it loudly outside of the exam room. I was mortified and put off. I will never come back here.

He is my Mother's Dr. and I do think he's provided her good treatment. However, I have found him quite rude and unprofessional to his staff. I believe you should treat everyone with the same respect ....

It makes no difference what is wrong, if you need to go to the urgent care or ER, he and Angela will REFUSE authorization. I was attacked by a dog and they would not authorize care. Also could not get an appointment for 10 days even though I explained the problem and need for a tetanus shot. I had a major asthma attack, also refused authorization to go for treatment in the ER or urgent care. Accused me of abusing the system until I pointed out that I had NEVER been to either. Run, don't want, to any other doctor. You will get better care from the local street vendors.

very good

I'm stuck with him because of my HMO. But I can't wait until the new enrollment period so I can change to another plan. I have never been treated so rudely. He got angry with the pharmacy so yelled at me for 5 minutes about what liars they are. VERY unprofessional.

He took care of my dad after hospital and he never felt so good. Thank God ,we found Dr. KaranHe is really caring
