Aaron listened to my needs. He did some research to help with my problem in addition to giving me the shots and he found some dicofenac patches that I can wear to help with inflammation. That's it.

Great

It was a good experience even though it took me 2 weeks to get in to be seen for my knee issue which was causing me much pain. But once I was able to be seen everything went very smoothly from check in, to x-rays to seeing the provider who was very personable and knowledgeable and able to treat my knee pain. I left feeling very satisfied with my treatment and care I received. All staff were very caring and professional. The wait time from check in to see the provider went like clock work. I will highly recommend to others who may need care in Orthopedics.

Aaron listened well and answered all of my questions. He reviewed x-rays with me, was encouraging, and did not rush. He is an asset to the orthopedic health care team.

When I had problems with my knee, Dr.Karo immediately went to see if he could inject some fluid in my knee. He is very thorough. I would recommend him to anyone.
