I've been meaning to do this for a while now! Dr Karlowics and his whole team are THE BEST!!! I believe he and his nurses were placed in their position by the Lord!! They truely care and you know that when you are their patient. They ask you how your doing and actually listen to your response and offer suggestions on how to remedy or deal with it. So many doctors that I have visited do not. They might ask how your doing but while your answering they are washing their hands or typing in their computer while nodding and you just know they arent paying attention. They just take a devestating situation and make you feel better about it. They care about your comfort through the whole process!! Definitely recommend them!!!
Dr.Karolewics and the staff are amazing people and took such good care of my wife.
I have been going to Life first, for six months. I have rung the BELL, as they say, The staff is extremely caring, first class, with first class results. I am a Marine Veteran, and would recommend Lifefirst to all, 100%. I am so grateful for Dr.Vincent and staff.
Truly believe this team saved my life with their compassion and ability to make treatment as less stressful as possible. Doc is great as well with his knowledge and thoroughness.
No matter how you look at it, there isn’t much positive to say about cancer, but competent, life affirming care is the first and best step. The good folks at LifeFirst are friendly and compassionate, and they won’t rush you through the program without taking the time to answer your questions. I have been impressed with Dr. Karolewics and the great team that he has assembled in his practice. You really can’t feel healthy until you feel like you are well cared for, and, to a one, they will give you that confidence. Cancer treatment takes a little a hand holding everyday, and I have to say Kim, everyday for two months, was that person for me — just one heck of a sweet girl. You’ll get the care your body needs, the encouragement and compassion your spirt needs and the peace of mind you deserve at LifeFirst during every visit.
