My experience has been wonderful. Dr Karas and his staff made sure that I understood what was required of me, and answered all my questions. They were kind and responsive. I had surgery three weeks ago, I truly believe due to the care I have been given I’m recovering amazingly and do not regret my decision for surgery. The intense pain I have been feeling was gone immediately. Taking my medications, icing and physical therapy are key for a speedy recovery. Don’t second guess if there are no options.
