About Karis – Starting of Karis Medical
Karis Medical is a company that was founded during the pandemic, with the goal to revolutionize healthcare in a more honest, convenient, and accessible manner.
Our Founder, Jeff Chandler realized during the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine simply was not cutting it.
As a Physician’s Assistant, Jeff loved being able to work from home via telemedicine but was frustrated that there was no one on hand to be able to physically examine the patient.

Karis Medical was founded to make mobile healthcare more available and convenient, as well as to embrace the wonderful parts of telemedicine while fixing the aspects of it that don’t work.
