Patients in waiting room conducting personal phone calls that we all have to hear. Listening to a soap opera that we all have to hear. Over an hour wait. All staff courteous, good visit with PA. Surgeon didn't spend much time with me and didn't explain the actual surgery and procedure in any detail. Brochure on pre-surgery and post-surgery recovery consumer friendly with loads of detailed information.*

Dr Karas is awesome. I had knee replacement surgery at the Lincoln Park facility at 8:30am and literally was walking through my front door at 5 minutes past noon. And yes, I was walking. I highly recommend Dr. Karas for his kindness, easy to talk to, answers all your questions and listens to your concerns and needs. Two days post operative I immediately knew already my surgery was a huge success!*

Dr Kara and his team are very experienced and friendly. They explained the pre-surgery, day of surgery and post surgery in great detail to insure that I understood each step of the way and how to manage a successful recovery. They even showed me the replacement knee device and how it works. By the time I got home all the pre and post operative appointments had been made and confirmed. I feel much more informed and a little less anxious about the big day.*
