Dr. Elina Kari

This review is really late, but in December 2020, Dr. Kari performed a cochlear implant surgery on my right ear. I am glad she operated on me as Dr. Kari is an amazing doctor. She is very kind, knowledgeable, and provided a great deal of comfort to my parents regarding my cochlear implant. At first, my parents were wary about the procedure, but after meeting and talking with her, we felt more confident in going through with it. The surgery itself was quick and painless, and I even managed to go to class right after (granted it was online...). Highly recommend! :) This review is really late, but in December 2020, Dr. Kari performed a cochlear implant surgery on my right ear. I am glad she operated on me as Dr. Kari is an amazing doctor.

I looked up Dr Kari on Healthgrades and it says she works with Radys Childrens Hospital and there are reviews that she worked with kids but when I called to make an appointment for my son (who turns 14 in 2 weeks) they said no we do not take kids. After I told them about the info on the web site they said ok we can book him after his birthday. Then I spoke with the manager and he said oh yes we do accept kids but can not get you in for another month. They need to change their info and get their stories straight. Very poor customer service.

I have so much confidence in Dr. Kari. She is a gifted lady I have had many ENT Doctors take care of my ear problems but when I had my first appointment with her I realized this lady really knows more about ears than all the others. I thanked her for specializing in ear care. I am very disappointed she is no longer available at USC in L.A. God bless you. John Brownell

Let me just say that if it wasn’t for this doctor my son wouldn’t have received his cochlear implant ...he was denied 2x but this doctor was the one that made it possible so if you’re looking for a second opinion this is the doctor...and if I recommend her...hell yes!!! Your child will be in great hands ...

Would like to schedule - new patient - appointment re: cochlear implants. Can not get past your telephone systems. Do you have email address? My email is tilestonleases@yahoo.com. Your response is appreciated. Thank you, Henry Tileston

I wish I could give this a 1000 more stars!! Dr. Kari and the entire staff at USC "Caruso Family Center for Childhood Communication" is beyond awesome, my baby's Cochlear implant surgery couldn't be in better hands. Thanks Dr. Kari for give Maria a better life.

I'm very pleased with Dr. Kai and her team. Getting a second optinion was the best choice I made for my ear. She is kind, thorough, personal and knows her stuff. After my fist visit I knew she will get the job done correctly. I would highly recommend Doctor Elina Kari.
