Patient Reviews
Mar 25, 2024
How do I express what a positive experience this knee replacement has been for me? I was mildly terrified to have it done but Dr. Karas and his entire staff allayed all my fears and my recovery and the outcome of my surgery has been amazing. Everyone on this team was fantastic! They explained everything, answered all of my millions of questions, and always made me feel comfortable. I felt well supported after my surgery and was prepared for what to expect in my recovery period. All the staff (registration folks, techs, nurses, APNs, PAs, physicians) at both the Oak Park office and at Rush Chicago were phenomenal! And Dr. Karas-what an amazing physician! He is obviously a very skilled surgeon but is also such a personable and caring person. I am so thankful that he is the one I chose to do my surgery (after much research). I have already referred many people to this amazing practice and will continue to do so.
