I have gone to several other providers, one in private practice who seemed very limited in his ability to treat my problem.  The other was a team at the Wilmer Eye Institute in Baltimore that simply ramped up the amount of prednisone I was using in my damaged eye but had little interest otherwise in following me as a patient. Dr. Karakus has proven to be just the opposite and helped my improve the comfort of my damaged eye and also to pass the MD driver's license eye test.
