Nikhil S. Karanth MD

I found Dr Karanth to be a very caring and personble physician as well as an excellent professionl.

My initial meeting was gained via referral from Memorial hospital of Pawtucket. Right off the bat I could tell by his cutting me off whenever I asked something, the dismissive attitude and the seemingly rush to get it over with (my presence), that this guy did not like me. What kind of doctor does not want to hear what the patient has to say or what concerns the patient is seeking to be addressed? So this guy ordered a few tests and my insurance was charged much money for them. I submitted and complied to all the tests. Then I never heard from this guy again...no calls back informing me of test results, no call back for any follow up treatment. Months later when I finally reached out to inquire what was going on, I was told there is no record of my name in his office. A doctor is given broad discretion enabling him to spend the money of insurance companies, get paid for it too and can even be selective in who he/she will follow up a course of treatment with. There are so many ways a doctor can enrich himself at the expense of the insurance companies while doing very little for the patient. Whatever happened to the oath a doctor takes to help people? Don't go to this guy, he only wants to make money and will do very little or nothing for you.

Awful doctor! Had the test he recommended never heard from him agai . I went to another gi dr. I have crohns disease. He is dismissive and makes you feel uncomfortable in his presence.
I've heard he is now in Vegas. I wonder why

Terrible doctor who misdiagnosed me, gave me meds I found out I was allergic to, and temporarily passed me off when I got really sick. months later when I tried to go back they lied saying I "missed appointments" which I never missed a single one
