Dr. Karasik surgically removed several “challenging” polyps from my colon and did a fantastic job. Good experience with the entire team at Hartford Hospital. If I ever need to have further work done, I would definitely return to Dr. Karasik. Highly recommend.

Hands down the kindest and most knowledgeable doctor I have ever met. He has been treating me for a pancreas issue for over 15 years and is the only doctor I literally trust my life with. A true hidden gem in the healthcare field. He fights for his patients with insurance companies, other doctors, whomever necessary to do what is right. Thank you Dr K.
