        This was my annual ophthalmologic exam. Dr. Karakus was a little late for the appointment and she apologized for that. Otherwise, she was wonderful, as I have found her on prior visits. Unfortunately (for me, at least), she will be moving to a different office location next year, so I won't be seeing her again. I am disappointed about that.

        Dr Karakus is a ophthalmologist that I see at Wilmer Eye Center in Columbia MD. She seems to be knowledgeable and works with me on my continuing eye issues. I like her and would like to continue seeing her but she is moving to Lutherville MD office and I'm told the Columbia office will not have a dry eye specialist, which is frustrating. Frederick MD office does not have a dry eye specialist either.
