I had another visit to Dr Karas for increased knee pain while waiting for my 1st Hip Surgery due in about 2 months.
I’m always so pleased by the warmth and caring from the entire staff. From check in to the kindness of the Xray technician who was very patient and helpful as I struggled with pain from hip to ankle to be able to position my knee X-rays.
Short wait followed to be seen by Dr Karas and his staff. I was told that this relatively new pain in my R Knee was due to my hip issue and would be relieved once I had surgery.
I was so grateful to find out I wouldn’t need knee surgery after my 2 hip replacements.
I was immediately given an injection in that knee and prescribed an anti inflammatory medication which has substantially reduced my pain.
As always I am encouraged that I am in great hands.
I need to add how quickly and the genuine concern I receive every time I call or email Dr Karas’ office from his PA’s especially Alexis.
Counting down to surgery. Will follow up post surgery*

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!?*

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.*
