My first time seeing Karen Caruso NP. Professional, methodical in her assessment, and informative.
Providence Patient
Did not understand biopsy results and pathologist explanation. Provider did not want to contact pathologist with my concerns. I had to proceed on my own. I still do not have clarification of comments of pathologist. In my recent visits there was no attempt to listen to lungs heart or any check up normally performed by physician. The computer seems their only means of patient care.
