Dr. Karpac says:I like to travel the world and photograph landscapes, people, animals and the culture of where I am. I like to put those photos in both offices to show the world to my patients. I am fortunate to have traveled all over the world, and I am grateful . Seeing other cultures puts a perspective on where we live and how we live. We are fortunate. I also enjoy golf and music. As far as golf, I always lose! You never beat the gameit always beats youbut its fun because its a game of challenge!
