The Xray tech did not tell me to hand in the sheet of paper so I waited in the waiting room for an hour and a half for my appointment. When the doctor came in, he was very very quick because I was an hour and a half late for my appointment!?*

There Doctor was very polite with me and available to answer any questions I had. I was very impressed with the staffs concerns of mine and their ability of taking the time to explain to me in detail what I should know entering and my post operations responsibilities and course of rehab.

I had been dealing with unprofessional hospitals and clinics for the last two years in pain!! Everyone was not providing me with the proper help. I changed hospitals and decided to try RUSH and just hand picked a doctor and Dr. Vasili Karas was who I had chose and WOW!! what an amazing experience. He sent me in for X-rays got the results the same day he viewed them and Immediately knew what to do and how to do it!! I go in for surgery in2 months!! I'm so happy!! He's professional, caring, smart and to the point!!*

Dr. Karas was both extremely personable and professional and he has a warm demeanor. He answered all my questions and more. Felt very reassured with his advice and recommendations. Office staff was equally friendly, professional and efficient. One of the best medical interactions I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing (and I’ve had numerous).*

Dr. Kara's and his team are amazing. The journey to replace both knees, the pre op and post op care is top notch. I live 180 miles away and know the care I have received gave me my life back without pain. If I had any questions, or concerns, his team responded within an hour or so and was always there for me.*

I recently had an appointment with Dr. K regarding nerve pain that I've been experiencing since my knee replacement surgery about 5 years ago. While I appreciate the effort of the medical team, I felt that the experience left much to be desired, particularly in terms of communication and care.
The appointment felt rushed, and I was disappointed by the lack of explanation regarding the issue with my knee. Dr. K spent more time explaining the situation to a resident rather than to me, which left me feeling uncertain about my condition. Additionally, the treatment recommendation was given with little to no explanation—simply stating that it would take 45 minutes without elaborating on what exactly would be done or why it was necessary.
I understand that the medical team is busy, but as the surgeon who performed my knee replacement, I believe Dr. K should have taken the time to explain what was going on with my knee and the treatment being recommended. I would have appreciated more clarity and a thorough discussion of my options.
I do want to note that the Physician Assistant (PA) in the room was more attentive and engaged, which I appreciated. Dr. K was pleasant. As a patient, you can feel when someone is in a hurry. However, it was the surgeon I was hoping to hear from directly regarding my treatment plan.*
