Dr. Karem decided on a career change as the atmosphere of medicine changed recently. He is now practicing concierge medicine in Naples, FL. Quality of care and time spent with patients have always been a priority in his practice.

He remains board-certified in Family Practice and is still accepting new patients. He is a member of both the Collier County Medical Association and the Florida Medical Association.
