Overall I would describe Dr. Samira Karakossian as UTTERLY USELESS AND INCOMPETENT. I came in for a general health physical for nursing school and she flat out refused to provide any opinion. She literally said, "I don't know anything about you," despite conducting a physical and having knowledge of my previous year's physical with full blood work, yet she was still able to justify her $300 cost for visit which consisted of listening to my breathing and checking my ears.
She then said she would sign the form, which indicated a yes or no field for restriction/ limitations, with a disclaimer that blood work had not been done. However, she checked yes despite having no evidence of any restrictions/ limitations forcing me to have to get a full blood work panel on a tight time frame as I had to wait a month just to get an appointment with her. I went ahead and did this and she STILL REFUSED to provide an opinion and just left this field blank after receiving normal results on all my lab work and having no basis for not endorsing no for restrictions/ limitations.
Now I have to pay out of pocket to find someone else because I can't even use what she gave me. She was extremely condescending, arrogant, and had no regard for the position that she had put me in.
When I brought up a concern about pain in my abdomen on my last physical, she was quick to blow it off, but when I need her to validate that there are no concerns she is unwilling to do so despite having thorough test results that indicate precisely that. She is the epitome of someone who just shows up for a paycheck and would not even have a job without her credentials because she certainly does not provide anything of value for her patients. read more
