Dr K came in and performed my emergency spinal surgery and I am eternally grateful. I hadn't met him prior so there was a lot of blind trust. Dr Lawrence was my initial Dr, and I had only just met him that day, but he wasn't able to do the surgery. The whole team took great care of me.

Each time I see Dr. Karamian, I get a deep sense that he cares sincerely about me and my health. I trust hime.
I came from Idaho to dr karamian for two failed back/neck surgeries. He was honest about the situation I was in but made me feel confident that all would be okay. The surgery I needed was in three parts and a little over 10 hrs. Someone from his team called my wife after each part to let her know how surgery was progressing. I am so happy with the results .

Exceptional doctor.
Patient with explaining details of this procedure and risks.
Was very nice, understanding and made me feel very comfortable. He's a good man
Dr. Karamian is so kind and caring. I feel extremely fortunate that he is my physician. He doesn't sit at a computer monitor tapping away like so many practitioners that I have seen. Instead, he pulls up his stool and has a real face to face conversation. He explains the anatomy and physiology of my symptoms and how he can help. Dr. Karamian excels in making every effort to answer all my questions without ever seeming impatient. I have had one successful surgery and will soon have another. I'm so grateful he is my doctor.

Outstanding care! Thank you
I will never be seen by this doctor again. Very disappointing and in disbelief in how unfair and uncaring he was.i specialist she be going of a mri than an x-ray results. The quality of care I received was poor and unexceptable.
Dr karamian from the very beginning was kind and patient. He listened to all our concerns , answered all our questions. We felt very confident with his whole team. Never before have we been treated so genuinely by a dr . The surgery we are having is complicated and scary . Before our arrival to Utah we were apprehensive since we had already had two failed surgeries elsewhere, but after the initial visit with dr karamian he had made us feel confident that all was going to work out. He has given us hope for the future where before we had little. Thank you dr karamian and team for all you have done for us. We would highly recommend dr Karamian .
Really liked him. He was very thorough with treatment. Helped me understand what's happening to me.
An excellent physician/surgeon in all regards!!
Dr. Karamian and the assisting doctor did thorough assessments of my recovery from surgery and answered all of my questions.

Me ha visto desde hace varios meses y se decidió una cirugía. Estaré en sus manos porque me parece un profesional de alta calidad
Excellent doctor very caring about patients well being I would highly recommend this doctor and all of his staff
Always feel as if he's rushing to get me out the door as fast as possible. He doesn't seem prepared or even that he has a plan in place. I travel from out of state and to get an appointment that lasts minutes hardly warrants a 6 hour round-trip drive. I wasted a year getting very few answers and even fewer results. Don't waste you time if you want results.
He went above and beyond explaining things
I cannot express my extreme satisfaction with the care I received from Dr. Karamian. He did an awesome job with a complicated spinal surgery, listened carefully to my questions and concerns, and spent all the time I needed to feel comfortable and re-assured with my recovery. He has excellent bedside manner and is a pleasure to spend time with.
Dr Karamian is a great doctor.
I loved Dr. Kamarian. He is so caring, patience who made me feel comfortable and pertinent. I very much appreciated his personal nature and the patience he showed me in discussing my concerns. He did not leave the exam room until I was absolutely comfortable with all the issues concerning my proposed treatment. One of the best doctors I have ever dealt with. He is so humble, intelligent. Could not recommend him any higher. Absolutely fantastic.
Excellent surgeon and excellent with all follow-ups!!!
Dr. Karamian is outstanding. I am so grateful for his expertise, knowledge, professionalism, and care. He is an excellent listener & communicator, a true expert in the field, and takes extra time to make sure all my questions are answered thoroughly and I feel comfortable with the plan of care. My spouse has also been a patient of Dr. Karamian in the past, and received incredible care from him as well. Thank you so much!

He did not leave the exam room until I was absolutely comfortable with all the issues concerning my proposed treatment

He took a lot of time to explain what I needed. He was kind and knowledgeable. The clinic was clean and well run.

Dr. Karamian is a real professional doctor.
All good so far. Have a long way to go though in treatment
Dr Karamian is an extraordinary surgeon and physician. He is a brilliant and gifted surgeon AND his ability to connect with a patient (me) and made me feel as if I was the only patient he was treating. He is completely focused whenever we have an appointment and is an exceptional listener and communicator.
Dr Karamian changed my life. I am very happy with the results of my spinal surgery.
Extremely impressed and very grateful for his knowledge, abilities and patience. When it comes to a surgeon he is the whole package. A lot of surgeons don't have great Bedside manners, they just aren't very social in general. Dr. Karamian is the complete opposite, very open, caring, and patient. There's no one in the world I would rather have treating my dad, or me for that matter.
El Doctor Brian siempre ha sido muy completó en su trabajo y nos brinda excelente trato hacia los demás.
We didnt talk much. He said he needed a new MRI to see what he could do.
Very compassionate and explained everything really well. Easy to understand and to talk to. Felt like I was listened to.
Am walking again, no need to say anything more!
Dr Karamian has been one of the best people I've ever met. He always made sure my health came first, even if it meant postponing my surgery until other issues were first taken care of. I always felt he put me, and my understanding of everything, first. I've never had a more comfortable experience with any surgeon, and considering how many surgeries I've had on my back alone, that is saying something!
Dr Karamian was very kind and knowledgeable. He talked through options about my care in an easy to understand way. I would highly recommend him!
Still barely getting to know him but feeling secure with his knowledge of caring for me to the best of his ability.
Is the most competent doctor I have ever met for back issues. Was profesional, friendly, and actually listened to and understood my issues. I feel very confident that I am receiving the best possible care.
Very courteous, great bedside manner. Explains everything in detail. Patient with answering all concerns and relieving any stress. Trustworthy and caring. Treats you like family while remaining professional.
I've had wonderful visits so far
Dr.Karanian understood well my situation and also explained my options well . Although I am not ready for surgery now , I feel confident having Dr. Karamian tobe part of my care team , along with my current Pain Dr. .
He was AWESOME!!!!!!
As with any doc, bring in a written list of questions. My head cant absorb what Im learning and reflect for a few seconds given the pace of most medical appointments these days. Im not dense, I just need a lot of back and forth. So bring your questions on paper, make sure the doc addresses all, and take a few notes. I find it useful to summarize the instructions I was given to assure I understand. All docs should make sure understand instructions and/or plans and write them down, or make sure the patient does. I like Dr Karamians demeanor. Seems very sharp, and makes considered decisions and recommendations. He hasnt cut on me yet, but I wouldnt back out if he said go, at this point in time. Tx!
Have had so little experience with him but I do respect him and am hoping he can help me.
Dr.Karamian is very professional and does extremely good work
he is a very good Dr he knows his job very well
He was just awesome.
Brian has a great personality.
A wonderful experience. So pleased with what I have experienced with him. His work is excellent!
Excelente doctor
I didnt get to meet him until after he did surgery on my back. It turned out that he did an excellent job.
Made me feel very comfortable with a stressful situation.
Dr. Karamian Gained my complete trust after meeting him for the first time.
El Doctor Brian Abedi Karamian, MD me devolvi la movilidad ya que tuve un accidente en el cual me quebr el cuello y l junto con su equipo de trabajo me ayudaron a recuperar la movilidad de mis extremidades todo esto en menos de un mes.
Dr. Karamian and his PA were awesome. They both took the time to answer ALL my questions anmd explained things well.
Excellent physician and surgeon.
One on one session was good. Forgot to mention I am still stiff and sore but pain is minimal.
He listened attentively, was patient, explained the xrays, the options and risks.
Dr Karamian was very thorough and gave me the answers I had wanted clarified. Listened carefully to the problem I am having and then came up with a plan that I hope will work. I also am pleased that he will check with me in 3 months time and not just dropping me.
Ive had many ortho doctors & spine surgeries the past 30+ years of my life. I typically dont leave comments, good or bad, online. But I felt strongly enough this time to extend my deepest gratitude & appreciation for Dr. Karamian & his team w/ respect to my recent urgent care ACDF surgery. I have hit the lottery w/ Dr. Karamian!
Very caring. Without the proper reports and an additional MRI he was unable to determine what is needed for my treatment. This was was very frustrating as I traveled at great expense to see him. My surgeons office was to blame for not getting my reports to him even though the surgeon asked for the Drs opinion.
He was compassionate, supportive, and thorough. He spoke to me as if I was a person that mattered. Dr. Karamian used illustrations, spoke in friendly terms, and kindly answered all my questions. I was in a great deal of pain and Dr. Karamian was the first doctor to listen, believe, explain, and support. Im very grateful for doctors like him.
I went to Sugarhouse clinic first to diagnose my back issues. I was referred to orthopedic spine clinic and I had an awful first visit .I was in so much pain and taken by ambulance to The ER. where I was terrified. My life has changed drastically. I couldn't walk much without utter pain. I needed surgery and Dr. K was who was chosen. Day of surgery I met him and he instantly calmed and reassured me that I was going to feel better. I had the best care from start to finish. He was so kind and he is a true healer. His surgery worked and my pain was instantly gone.. I felt like I could trust him through this whole process and putting your life into a strangers hands is so scary. Thank goodness U OF U has amazing Dr's and I will say without a doubt Dr. Karamian is by far the best doctor I've had the chance to meet . He is kind and courteous and really knows his business. Thank you so much for giving me back my life.
He is a good caring Dr.
He was very forthcoming and explained procedures completely
Dr. Karamian was probably the best Doctor I have ever had to deal with. He is very compassionate and friendly.
Dr Karamian spent a good deal of time with me answering questions and trying to understand where I was coming from. I felt that he was a pretty good communicator.
He was amazing, was very knowledgeable about the procedure and was able to explain it to us so we understood it. His bedside manners were very excellent
