Awesome
The best!!
Thorough and thoughtful.
In addition to Doctor Karegeannes top notch medical skills, he has tremendous bed side manner which is sorely lacking today.
Dr Karegeannes is very competent, skilled and caring. He recently did a fourth revision on my knee. I am very grateful for his skill level as he was able to do the revision which has turned out very satisfactory. I am three weeks post surgery, going to output PT, walking without a cane and able to bend the knee over 100 degrees. I feel confident My knee will continue to improve and allow me to resume a more active lifestyle.
Personable, professional and extremely knowledgeable concerning hip replace ment hardware and techniques. Relatively few physicians-surgeons engender my trust during an initial visit. Karegeannes met and surpassed this threshold.
Professional, great bedside manner, explains well
Dr Karegeannes was affable and truly present to my difficulty. He was familiar with my records and got down to business right away. All the while being assuring and lovely. I was extremely pleased.
Dr. K. Is an Awesome Doctor/Surgeon as well as a great people person. He will listen to his patients & explain procedures/treatment the way a patient can understand.
Great guy. Fair
