Patients appreciate
Dr. Ngaruiya Kariuki consistently receives exceptional praise for his thorough, patient-centered approach to care. Patients overwhelmingly describe him as an excellent listener who takes time to understand their concerns, never rushes appointments, and makes them feel genuinely heard and valued. His communication skills stand out, with numerous reviews highlighting how he explains complex medical information in clear, understandable terms and ensures patients comprehend their diagnoses, test results, and treatment plans. Patients frequently mention his warm bedside manner, describing him as kind, caring, compassionate, and professional. His thoroughness is repeatedly emphasized—he conducts comprehensive examinations, asks probing questions, reviews patient histories carefully, and addresses all concerns. Many patients note his knowledge and expertise, particularly in managing diabetes and other endocrine conditions, and express complete trust in his medical judgment. Several long-term patients mention they drive significant distances specifically to see him and have recommended him to family and friends.
Patients also share
A small number of reviews identify areas for improvement. Three patients mentioned that Dr. Kariuki speaks softly, which created challenges for those who are hard of hearing. Two reviews noted that he sometimes speaks quickly or asks questions rapidly, making it difficult for patients—particularly older adults—to keep pace with the conversation. One patient felt he was dismissive and interrupted frequently, though this stands in stark contrast to the overwhelming majority of reviews. Another single review mentioned he seemed more rushed during a second visit compared to the first. Multiple reviews from early 2026 express disappointment that Dr. Kariuki was leaving Baylor Scott & White, though this appears to be a staffing change rather than a quality concern.
