I saw Dr Caronis back late 2020 after I had a fall. He said there was nothing to worry about with my herniated disc MRI and looked at me in the eyes while I sobbed (after I crutched in to his office in debilitating pain) more than once telling me that there is nothing wrong with my back and leg. He did not give me an explanation for my pain and said it didn't exist leading me to develop a chronic pain trigger similar to PTSD. (I feel pain, hear in my head "there is nothing wrong with your leg" then have a panic attack since the pain is so severe and I feel helpless.) I found doctors who really cared and they found my problem A YEAR LATE.
Which Dr Caronis over looked. He just thought I was coming in for pills or something but he treated me like S!#@ and he was not empathetic at all. I will never return to see him or reccomend anyone to him. 0 stars if I could.

Dr. Caronis is an amazingly talented Pro. My ankle break was fairly severe. I told doc I have a pretty high tolerance for pain and did not want it casted. So he overbuilt the repair with plates and screws and a small rod. About 15 Staples and 20 stitches, I was finished! The nickel and stainless prosthetic hardware held up well. I was walking around in my Western snakeskin boots in 3 weeks. Like I said, never casted!
Even Viktor (patient care technician) said that it was something he had never witnessed before. So that tells you the level of talent Dr Csronis has. Dr Coronis was also aware that I did not accept blood during surgeries he never gave me any grief like some other doctors have. As a matter of fact, she is very skilled in non-transfusion surgeries! I would recommend Dr Caronis and any one of the partners they have in their orthopedic group. I will have to say, in this day and age, you want the best out there, he is one of the best!

My surgery went well. Thanks doc. Besides, he gave me a small tip to prevent pain on the other foot between second toe and metatarsal bone. He didn't even remember when I appreciated that, but it was really huge to me, meaning a lot. No other doctors were able to notice the exact cause in spite of MRI and ultrasound. I recommend this doctor.
