Kristin Karim, M.D.

I am originally from Boston, Massachusetts. I enjoy sports, reading, running, traveling, playing tennis, and spending time with my husband and family!

Every patient is unique. It is my goal to understand and acknowledge the individual experiences, expectations, and goals of each patient in order to provide optimal clinical care.
