Anything I write will not be enough to let everyone know how special Dr. Karmali is. To be diagnosed with cancer is in itself so overwhelming, but having Dr. Karmali as my oncologist was so reassuring. Her knowledge of the disease, her kindness and sympathetic ways helped me tremendously to navigate through those trying times. She was always only a phone call away. Regardless of the time of day or even when she was on vacation, my texts and calls were promptly answered and my concerns were always put to ease. Dr. Karmali is the epitome of what all doctors should be. I am blessed to have her as my doctor.
