Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush -- Oak Park

"I'm very pleased with my new knee and am so grateful to Dr Karas and his staff for their skill and excellent care. The entire process from the beginning was informative and the post operative texts were super helpful and reassuring. It's been 2 and a half weeks and I'm walking without the cane and the range of motion is very good. A great experience and looks like a very successful surgery. Dr Karas was highly recommended to me and I'm so happy he was available to schedule the surgery. He gets a rating of 5 Stars or a 10"

"Dr. Karas has changed my life. I am forever grateful that Midwest Orthopedics was recommended to me. I was a patient somewhere else & struggling for years. I would go every 3 months to get my knee drained & alternate between gel & cortisone shots. I finally went for a second opinion & here I am today, a total knee replacement success story. Dr. Karas and his entire team were amazing. The time they took to listen to my concerns, the step by step process of what needs to be done leading up to & then post surgery, the motivational and informational text messages ..... everything prepared me for my success. I truly can't thank them enough."

"I have had both of my knees replaced by Dr. Kara's and his team. I would highly recommend him for knee replacement. He is an outstanding surgeon who has successfully performed the procedure thousands of times. He is very personable and patient centered. His staff is remarkable and a pleasure deal with. They respond quickly to all inquiries and are exceptionally responsive to patient needs."

"How Comforting having not only a Great Physician but a TEACHING Physician! Dr. Yoon was Patient, Kind, Knowledgeable and had an Awesome bedside manner! He explained EVERYTHING to me, each step while giving me my EMG!!! Thanks so Much Dr Yoon !! YOU ROCK!!"

"Dr Karas and his team were exceptional. They operate like a machine - and I mean that in a positive way. They provided all of the information necessary before the surgery with very specific guidelines. That's very helpful for me. I like to know what's happening. After the surgery, they were incredibly responsive to any questions that I had. My surgery went well and I'm finally walking without pain. I'm looking forward to becoming much more active as my recovery progresses. I am incredibly happy with the results. Dr. Karas and his team are exceptional."

"I couldn't say enough good things about this practice. Promptly took us back before our appointment time. Were thorough, a spoke to my daughter who is the patient in ways she could understand. We weren't rushed. They took their time, explained all the options and made sure we were comfortable with the next steps."

"Dr. Bruene is the best! She helped me with my shoulder a few years ago, and now with my ankle. Based on thorough exam, history and my concerns developed a care plan specific to my needs and goals. I've referred patients to her and they've all been thrilled with the care she provided."

"I have been a patient of Dr. Bruene for years. She is an extraordinary doctor. Now, she is guiding me through my first knee replacement. I feel she is holding my hand every step of the way and i will soon be able to recover my mobility and be back to mormal. I recommend her highly."
