    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.

    Long waits today... xrays and a brief appointment & I was there almost 2 hours- although my hardware placement seemed to be good- most of my appointment was discussing issues I was having with nerve pain & possibility of a nerve cut- following with a prescription of a predpak & referral of PT... this was barely touched on in the summary.. these issues have fully effected my life since surgery... unsure why we discussed them so well in the office- but the discussion was not well reflected in the notes...
