I have arthritis Dr. Karesh knows exactly were to put the shot.
Dr. Karesh and I have been dr./patient for over 10 years. He provides excellent care to me.
Due to the 15 minute limit on appointments I would like to have more time to talk to the doctor. I know 2 doctors who have left the Dreyer Clinic because of that limited patient/doctor time. It used to be longer and I felt more comfortable but now its IN & OUT.
This was a phone visit - hard to answer these questions. Love Dr. Karesh.
Great, I'm always satisfied with my visits with Dr Karesh.
always excellent
This was a phone visit and it went well
Dr. Karesh provided excellent care and explained thoroughly.
Excellent experience
It was a good experience considering the pandemic. Doesn't take the place of an actual visit.
A very good experience w/Dr. Karesh, he has always been attentive to my overall health. & very easy to talk to.
Was done by phone because of COVID-19. Went well I was pleased.
Impressed that he saw me the same day I called, even in these trying times.
Dr. Karesh is an excellent provider. Always very interested in my health and takes my questions and concerns seriously.
The doctor was kind and efficient.
Good visit.
He listened well and took some notes. I forgot to tell him a couple of things that happened last month do to being in a rush and with all the coronavirus questions I had to answer before the actual exam.
Great doctor & staff.
Always good experience with Dr. Karesh
Dr Karesch is a wonderful doctor.
he listens to everything thing you have to say and discusses the best options for you. he is very caring
never seems rushed. thorough and explains information well
very comfortable when seeing Dr Karish
I was very pleased with how well my visit went. It went very quickly and overall was very pleasant. We had a good discussion about switching blood pressure medicine. My visit was for a physical. During the physical, Dr Karesh ordered a blood test. If I would have known, I could have had the blood test the same day if I would have fasted that evening. This could have been more convenient. I came back the next day for the blood test. I was pleased with the test process, and the friendly lab tech. I was surprised that I received a call back that day with the results of the test. I was happy with both visits to the clinic.
I had some concerns, in addition to the reason for the visit, and my additional concerns were kindly addressed.
I had a very good experience.
Dr KARESH IS ALWAYS VERY KIND.

The worst thing about Advocate is the length of time we must wait on the phone for a visit or any service.

Dr.Karesh is the best always there for.I respect him and appreciate the care he renders
very respectful and thorough and was sure that I had all of my questions answered.
Dr Karesh is a very caring and considerate doctor. He always reviews your health history, remembers everything you tell him, and is very thorough with his care of his patients.
I always feel like I am being treated thoroughly - My visits are on a "as needed" basis which isn't frequent but service is always excellent!
Dr. Karesh has been my primary doctor for several years. I feel very comfortable with him & he knows my medical history very well. I have complete trust in him to do the right thing for me when it comes to a medical problem. He's very professional but has a good bedside manner that also helps when being treated for a fairly serious condition or problem.
It was a meet and greet apt. I like the doctor and feel comfortable with him.
Dr. Karesh has been my provider for at least 25 years. I have always felt that he listens with care and compassion and is very interested in my best outcome .
