Dr. Arndt, the thoracic surgeon at Palos -- who was trained by experts in this field -- ABSOLUTELY REFUSED TO TREAT ME. In fact, he wouldn't even meet with me. Looking at papers, he decided my case was "too complicated" for him and I would have to go downtown. However, he couldn't even offer me a name of someone to see "downtown." I am absolutely shocked that he put paperwork ahead of my own knowledge of my own body and my own disease. At least his nurse navigator had the sense to sound mortified by the nonsense he was making her spew. Good for you, Helen!

I was walking two days after my surgery without assistance and was in the process of moving homes three days later tho no lifting! If Dr. Karas was not a skilled charismatic surgeon I would consider him a magician because I did not expect this body to recover so quickly... he is obviously very dedicated to his craft and patients and I am impressed with his background and experience specializing in only hips and knees! Grateful to have been in decent shape prior but it's really the acumen and talent of Dr. Karas and the extraordinary clockwork of his team from start to finish. Also a big shout out to their texting platform: informative motivational fun funny with short helpful exercise clips and timely reminders of meds, appts etc. adding to the successful recuperation. Was doing so well did not need formal PT for long but I am doing exercises at home and in my building's gym. Thank you Dr. Karas for giving me my life back one hip at a time!

I can't put into words how amazing he and his staff truly are. From new patient paperwork to Dr Patel spending 45 mins with me and my husband asking lots of questions and taking my bp a few times, to then calling me personally to check on my progress with new meds. I've Never in my life had such personal treatment from a Dr. With that said my husband is now switching over to him too.

I've been a patient of Dr. Victor Romano for many years, and I can confidently say that he is one…read moreof the most professional, compassionate, and effective orthopedic surgeons I've ever encountered. Over the years, he has performed successful procedures on my shoulder, both legs, wrist, and elbow. Most recently, in the summer of 2025, I underwent a full knee replacement under his care, and the entire experience--from initial consultation to recovery--has been exceptional. What stands out most about Dr. Romano is his conservative and thoughtful approach. When he first noted that I might eventually need a knee replacement, he didn't rush to schedule surgery. Instead, he made the recommendation but gave me the time and space to decide when I was ready. I ultimately waited a year before going through with it, and I'm very glad I did it on my own timeline with his continued support. Pre-operative care was outstanding. His team provides clear, thorough guidance to help patients prepare for surgery, including medical and lab clearances, and a pre-surgery meeting to ensure everything is in order. I had my procedure at Rush Oak Park, which--like Dr. Romano's team--was excellent across the board. Though it was an outpatient surgery, I stayed overnight and received top-notch care throughout. Dr. Romano came to see me in the recovery area shortly after surgery to check in personally, reassure me, and explain how the procedure had gone. What impressed me even more was that he returned the following day--Saturday--to visit me in the hospital. He didn't have to do that; Rush has hospitalists assigned to oversee patient transitions and discharge. But Dr. Romano took the time to come in himself, examine me, and ensure everything was on track. That level of care and commitment is rare and deeply appreciated. He also gave me his personal cell phone number so I could text him directly with any questions or concerns. That kind of accessibility is almost unheard of, and he was genuinely responsive. Of course, his office team is also attentive and available, but knowing I could reach him personally was incredibly reassuring. Follow-up care has been just as thoughtful. At my post-operative visit, a member of his office team carefully checked my scar tissue, explained the next steps in recovery, and extended necessary medications. It's clear that patient well-being and recovery are top priorities for Dr. Romano and his entire staff. In-home physical therapy--arranged through a company they work with--has also been exceptional. The professionals from Interim HealthCare have been friendly, skilled, and focused on results. Even within a single week, I saw marked improvement in my right leg's strength and mobility thanks to their expert guidance. I wholeheartedly give Dr. Romano and his team five stars. Their professionalism, courtesy, thoroughness, and genuine care for patients make them stand out. Most of all, they take the time to listen and answer questions, ensuring you feel fully supported at every stage of your treatment. I recommend Romano Orthopedics without hesitation.
