Dr. Karnezis is an excellent Dr. and surgeon . Dr. Karnezis has helped with three surgeries. He has explained every step of the way to me. Before surgery and after surgery leaving me well informed about what to expect. His staff in his office is also well informed and helpful. The only draw back is the amount of time you must wait to see the doctor on office visits. It always seems to be 2-3 hrs. per visit.

I needed to have a bone fusion in my finger and Dr. Karnezis did a great job with the procedure
and now I have a fully functional hand again. I can't thank the Doctor and his staff enough for their attention and service.

I highly recommend Dr Karnezis. My father was his patient for almost a year of time, it was a long journey through pain and Dr. Karnezis help him very much. From having hand looking like ground meat he helped my father to have his hand back to normal functioning. I am sure that Dr. Karnezis is very experienced and knowledgeable doctor since his diagnosis was correct compering to other doctor's(second opinion requested by insurance)whose diagnosis could make my father's hand much less functioning

Dr. Karnezis has been incredible. I suffered a horrendous injury to my right hand and he was the on call surgeon. He did an amazing job repairing my hand and saving my life. I had severed my hand and arteries and he reattached everything and saved my hand. I couldn't be more greatful to have had him as my surgeon.

Dr. Tom Karnezis is a wonderful doctor. I had a injury at work where part of my index finger was cut off. I was referred to him by another doctor. This day and age it's so hard to find a doctor you can trust your health too, but Dr. Karnezis was not only able to save most of my finger he made this situation very smooth. I can't thank Dr. Karnezis enough. If your searching for a good Orto doc... your search should stop here. Thank you Dr. Karnezis.

Dr. Tom Karnezis is an excellent orthopedic surgeon. He has corrected every injury I’ve had. I’ve referred many to him and they to have had a positive experience. Although the wait time at times was lengthy, it’s mainly because he’s thorough, caring, and takes the time to listen to all his patient’s concerns.
His staff is friendly and always helpful, that’s a plus!

I am very satisfied with the orthopedic practice of Dr. Karnezis. I have been treated for carpel tunnel and trigger thumb on my left hand. I have not had any more problems with pain or discomfort.
Dr. Karnezis is very personable and explains the reason for the pain and explains the procedure needed to relieve the pain. I would highly recommend Dr. Karnezis to anyone who is looking for an excellent hand doctor. His surgical skills are at the highest level and I have no scars or pain issues.
