Dr. Karampelas' approach is straightforward, saying, "I know how complex and frightening any neurological disease can be. I am here to help you understand what is going on in your body. Together, we can reach the best decision for you. I will share my professional opinion and what I believe is the best course of action after getting to know you as a person. My main focus is you, and I am proud to take full responsibility for you and your medical treatment."

Dr. Karampelas promises to take care of you with compassion and scrupulous attention to detail, using MUSC's most technologically and scientifically advanced hospital system.

"As a physician at MUSC Health Florence Medical Center, I can only be satisfied if I know we did the absolute best for you. Nothing is more important to us than what you feel and that we listened and cared for you."
