My experience with Dr. Karas was great! The process was very smooth. I personally felt my recovery exceeded my expectations in every way. I didn't think I could feel this much better so quickly. I no longer have no pain and walk normal thanks ls to Dr. Karas and his team.*

Everything was absolutely perfect from my initial appointment thru scheduling surgery.
Surgery was successful no pain after the procedure. They were great keeping me informed about everything to expect. They arranged all of my prescriptions and I left the hospital with everything I needed including arranging Physical Therapy. Couldn’t be any happier with the whole experience.*

Because I am 80 years old and have some health issues I was concerned about having major surgery. My experience with Dr. Karas and his staff has been excellent. I was in extreme pain because I needed to have my left hip replaced. I was referred to Dr. Karas by a friend who was his patient. Doctor listened to what I said and after a thorough examination explained in detail what is involved in the surgery I needed. His staff made sure that all necessary medical approvals and tests were completed and scheduled my surgery quickly. Other than minor pain from the surgery I was completely free of the excruciating pain caused by my hip joint. I am grateful to Dr Karas and recommend him to everyone.*

Dr. Brian Cole highly recommended you for this surgery. Since I have been with Dr. Cole for 23 years, I never questioned his opinion. After meeting you, I liked that you were short and to the point, extremely knowledgeable, have a good sense of humor and say whatever is on your mind. There is no doubt in my mind you will take good care of me and I will do as you advise to achieve a good result.*

Very impressed with the process before surgery. All the staff that I have come in contact with have been friendly and supportive. It is helpful the updates you get via text before surgery of reminders of what to or not to do.
The video and booklet I received before surgery where also helpful.*

Had my 1 year appointment and everything was very good!
I would recommend Dr. Vasili Karas and his team for either a hip or knee replacement or surgery. Six weeks after my surgery, I was called to substitute as a PE teacher at a junior high school And everything went well. Now for the summer, I have been playing in golf tournaments.*

Dr. Kara’s Resident discussed how my knee was feeling! I told her the humid weather bothered me a little but I go to my pt. Twice a week and walk a lot and it does not bother me . She then gave me my shot in my knee and I made an appointment to return in 3 months.
Everyone on Dr.Kara’s staff is very professional!
