With both knees bone-on-bone and also suffering from psoriasis, my condition was one the orthopedists at NW Medical had failed to provide me with relief.
A nurse friend suggested I search a University-based joint replacement practice. I secured an appointment almost three months out with Dr Karas.
I was impressed with his doctor-patient manner and his efficient and personable PA, xxxx.
It was his candor which impressed me most of all. He admitted that his experience with psoriasis patients was limited, and that I might have a better outcome if I was referred to another Rush Knee Replacement Specialist with more experience with patients like me.
I am looking forward to that appointment in two weeks.
I wish I had seen Dr Karas two years ago instead of going in that Northwestern direction.*

Dr. Kara’s is personable and genuine. As Patient he listened to me and actually heard what I was saying. Dr. Kara’s took the time to evaluate my knee replacement done by a different surgeon. He is the reason I switched to Midwest Orthopedics for a second opinion. I would recommend him to anyone that needs an excellent orthopedic surgeon and doctor.*

All I can say is that it’s been 3 weeks since the procedure and I’m already walking and climbing stairs without assistance. When I showed up at my pt appointment the therapists were amazed at my progress. Dr Karas and his staff at Rush are amazing! Considerate, professional, and committed to giving their patients the best care possible. Thank you so much!*

After a falls I was unable to walk. A MRI determined I had a hip fracture. had 2 Doctors take a wait and see if it gets better. After 3 months I had enough and saw Dr. Karas. He determined I was bone on bone. With in a month I had my hip replaced. He gave me my life back. I’m back to biking 10 miles a day. He is the best and I can’t say enough good things about him. I thank God for him everyday.*
