Dr. David Karaba is a comforting and brilliant integrative physician, approaching the body and mind…read moreas a whole, treating the whole person. He offers several modalities of healing including Eastern and Western medicine, acupuncture and NAET, addressing most anything that isn't getting results from Western medicine alone. Longevity, fertility, geriatric medicine, pediatric medicine, sports medicine, autoimmune disorders, chronic pain, emotional trauma, metabolic disorders, injury care, pain management, performance enhancement with a brilliant mind for leaky gut, IC, IBS, eczema, food sensitivities, heavy metal toxicity and so much more... call and inquire. The most valuable component of all-- his full focused attention, listening to and respecting what you have to share with him. You feel like you're visiting a brilliant and caring friend rather than a white coat doctor. Dr. Karaba is compassionate, patient, supportive and kind, incredibly intuitive and relentless in his pursuit of what will support your body and help you heal. He never gives up and will work to figure out what is going on so your body and soul can respond. He has treated veterans for PTSD and trauma pro-bono once a month and is a Tai Chi master offering a personalized class for all levels at the Newport Beach Lifeguard Tower 52 on Thursday mornings from 8 to 9:30 AM. Everyone who goes LOVES that class, experiencing the same focus and attention he gives to his patients.
Also a favorite of kids and babies, Dr. Karaba is great with them... another of so many skills. I am so grateful I was referred to him a decade ago. After many years of suffering with Western Medicine, one of the many things that was missed, Dr. Karaba tested for heavy metal poisoning and mercury showed off the chart! I was unable to tolerate chelation and he found a way to detoxify and eliminate it safely and it worked! He has saved my life more than once when Western medicine wasn't able to find answers. You will be so glad you called him both for staying physically and emotionally healthy and for solving medical quandaries.
Some have mentioned experiencing a longer wait time for your appointment, which can be true. It doesn't aggravate me as it makes me feel like he's a very caring and busy physician who gives each patient the time and attention they really need. He clearly cares about his patients and won't cut anyone short when someone needs his help. You can call ahead and ask if he's running a little late and take a book to read -then it's easier not to worry about it. Add about 45 minutes to an hour to your appointment time if it makes you feel better. You will never get this kind of time, attention and healing power anywhere else! He books up fast. Sometimes you can get right in and sometimes it takes a couple of weeks. Overall, he is definitely worth the wait.
