Dr. Karban immigrated to the United States from the former Soviet Union in the early 1990’s with her two children and a medical degree she earned before her 24th birthday. She settled with her family in the New York area and returned to medical school so that she could continue to practice in the area of medicine she is most passionate about, obstetrics and gynecology.

After graduation, she completed her internship and residency requirements at the Lutheran Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY where she continued to work as a Faculty Attending physician until her relocation to Houston in the summer of 2010. Dr. Karban is Board Certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
