    From the moment I checked in, the experience at Penn Orthopedics was smooth, and the wait wasn't…read morebad at all. My appointment had been switched because my original doctor had an emergency, and I was scheduled with Dr. Kristel Carey. It turned out to be one of the best surprises. Dr. Carey is, without question, one of the best orthopedic doctors I've met. She took the time to thoroughly explain what is happening with my knee and why I'm experiencing the pain and breakdown that I have. No other orthopedic doctor has ever explained my condition in such a clear and understandable way. What impressed me most was that she truly listened. I tend to ask a lot of questions and sometimes over-explain my concerns, but she never made me feel rushed or dismissed. She listened patiently, answered every question, and made sure I understood all of my treatment options. I also appreciated that she didn't immediately push medication or surgery. She respected my concerns, offered alternatives, and presented surgery as an option--not a decision she was making for me. She gave me the knowledge I needed to make an informed choice, and because of the trust she built during this visit, I would seriously consider surgery with her if that time comes. Dr. Carey has an excellent bedside manner, a great sense of humor, and genuinely cares about her patients. I walked in meeting a doctor for the first time and walked out feeling like I had found the orthopedic specialist I want to continue seeing. Building trust with a physician is priceless, and she earned mine during our very first visit. I highly recommend Dr. Kristel Carey to anyone looking for an orthopedic surgeon who is knowledgeable, compassionate, patient, and truly puts the patient first.

    I would like to take a moment to share a truly positive experience I had during my recent visit to…read morethe Orthopedics office at Pennsylvania Hospital. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted by Affia. I've had the pleasure of encountering her before, and each time, she consistently brings such a kind, calming, and genuine presence. From the moment I arrived, she acknowledged me by name, which immediately made me feel seen and welcomed. Affia kept me informed throughout my wait, letting me know that the doctor was running behind. While I completely understand that delays can happen and are often outside of anyone's control, her thoughtful updates and communication made a meaningful difference. Her attentiveness helped ease the waiting process and made me feel respected as a patient. What stood out most was her warmth and sincerity. In healthcare settings, it can sometimes feel like you're just another number, but Affia's demeanor reminds you that compassion and human connection still matter deeply. She carries herself with such professionalism and kindness, and it truly enhances the overall patient experience. I'm very appreciative of her and wanted to make sure her efforts and positive energy were recognized. She is a wonderful reflection of the care and compassion that patients hope to receive.

    While I read many positive reviews, unfortunately I cannot add to the positive reviews. Dr…read moreNazarian performed a knee reconstruction on my left knee in October of 2023. It has now been 11 months, and I am still not "back to normal". Still experiencing stiffness and pain. I also did months of P. T. but this did not seem to help. One of my biggest frustrations is that Dr. Nazarian did not schedule any follow up exams, except to remove the staples. The only time I saw him after the surgery was when I called for an appointment because there was an issue. First, I experienced bleeding from the incision. He addressed that issue. Next, I experienced an accumulation of fluid around the incision. A large "bubble" of fluid appeared below my knee cap. I called for an appointment and the doctor drained the fluid. When the pain persisted, I called for yet another appointment. After an exam, Dr. Nazarian said the pain was due to a "hip problem." I honestly got upset when he made that recommendation, but I followed through with the doctor that Dr. Nazarian recommended and who did an injection into my hip. That did absolutely nothing to alleviate the pain. I followed up with Dr. Nazarian again, and he then recommended a pain management doctor who would perform an "ablation of the sensory nerves around the knee." Of course, this is a totally "symptomatic" approach to my pain. Dr. Nazarian never once considered that there may be something wrong with the knee itself. Following Dr. Nazarian's advice, I had the ablation done. Of course, since the nerves were chemically destroyed, the pain was reduced by about 85%. But I am told, this is a temporary fix. It may last only 6 months or so, or perhaps a year. Never once did Dr Nazarian take any images of my knee, nor perform a complete exam of the knee to see if it was his handiwork that was causing my pain. What frustrates me the most, is that I was a regularly active person prior to my knee issues......I walked trails, I biked, I play racquetball, pickleball three times a week, worked out at a gym, and now simply walking around the supermarket is a challenge. If you ae considering knee replacement, do your due diligence, get several opinions. I hope you have a better outcome.

    This man is incredible. I had bilateral knee replacement 2 weeks apart. That was 5 years ago. I…read morehave had ZERO issues with either knee. Recovery was difficult and painful, however, everything was done by Dr.N and staff to accommodate anything I needed. He's attentive, concerned and extremely proficient at his job!
