I still believe that Dr.Vasili Karas MD is one of the best orthopaedical surgeon. I had Hip Joint replacement surgery performed by Dr Vasili Karas around 2 years ago. My surgery was done well. Then next 6 months I performed a lot of physical therapy with licensed therapist. But after my surgery one problem occurred and this bothered me until today. I have muscle spasms and serious cramps at the same Hip joint .Especially when I need to bend my body at angle 30-40 degrees .These muscle spasms and cramps I still have most of the time. They impact my movements. Last year 2023 according to Referral from another licensed orthopedic surgeon I did 14-session specific therapy with ultrasound medical device and Iontophoresis with medical patches connected to cables, liquid steroid and applying low electric currency. Therapist told me that after 5 sessions my muscle cramps will decrease significantly ? I mean my spasms and cramps at the incision area of the surgery. WE did 14 sessions with very little temporary result, So I am still suffering from these permanent spasms and cramps. Only in the night time I don,t have such cramps, because I don,t need to move. So currently I visited again my surgeon Dr. V. Karas MD .Before that I wrote my medical history and printed on one and half page with big size letters, to be easy to read. I described the treatments I performed last one year and 5 months. I reported the opinion of another orthopedic doctor surgeon, that after my surgery scars tissues developed more than normal in some muscles . So when I visited Dr ..V. Karas I gave him my printed medical history.I hoped that he will spend 4- or 5 min to read it, but he didn,t . He took a look maybe 15 seconds, no more and he asked me" what is your problem" Then we talked 2 minutes maximum , he briefly answered one question. I didn,t have a time to ask one more question important to me. Doctor Karas left a office. So I am not satisfied. I expected that he will at least touch my left Hip artificial joint and some muscles and then to say something. Well I am not a doctor. But I will suggest to Dr.V. Karas when patient will come back to him, to spend at least 6 -8 min to hear some questions, complains and to try to answer. I wish Dr Karas very good health and future success regards: Vesselin V from Bartlett *

Dr. Karas and his resident were very knowledgeable and pleasant. They explained the procedure and recovery time. They give you the full picture not what you might want to hear. You have all the information to make an informed decision. *

So far, I've only had an initial consultation, but both Dr. Karas and his medical assistant were top notch. They thoroughly answered all of my questions, and helped explain why one approach was safer than another. They provided me with information I wasn't aware of, despite having done extensive research before the appointment.*

Dr. Karas fixed me. I had a prior hip replacement from another doctor that had begun to fail, resulting in pain and limping. The revision procedure was very carefully planned and a post-op precautionary treatment to prevent infection was added. The result has been wildly successful. I heartily recommend Dr. Karas for any joint replacement procedures you may be contemplating. He is the best!*

Dr. Karas went out of his way to take of my hip issue. He examined me and offered his recommendation for conservative treatment, with a follow up.
He and his staff were efficient and solved my pain issue promptly.*

I was extremely pleased with my services. I cried that it took 27 years to find Dr. Karas. Got crushed by a 6600lb cta bus into a parked car. My knees were overlooked due to my lumbar issues. I book a second appointment for February for my right knee. Shoutout to Sarah who administered my injection like a professional. Thank you Midwest Orthopedics at Rush! 5 stars*
