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.

Dr. Caronis gave me two alternatives, surgery or conservative. I went with the conservative method and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Dr. Caronis.

I saw Dr. Caronis for a year. I had two fractured elbows. It ended up that I had to have implants in each elbow. Surgery went great. He is a very caring and friendly Doctor. He has a great bedside manner. I am more than happy with the treatment he gave me and am now able to function again. I would highly recommend him.

I came to see Dr. Caronis for a dislocated knee. He got me in without an appointment for my first visit, and took excellent care throughout the recovery process. He is kind, caring, and was spot on with all treatment and recovery exercises. I would highly recommend his team and the Greenleaf Orthopedic Physical Therapists to anyone!

I have taken my children to see Dr. Caronis several times over the past year for various sports-related injuries, from a simple sprain to a more severe knee injury. He is always kind, patient, and shows great care with diagnosing and treating the injury, making sure all questions are answered and we are comfortable and confident with the treatment plan. I would recommend Dr. Caronis without hesitation to anyone needing orthopedic care.

I have been going to Dr. Caronis for several years. He is a compassionate doctor who has helped my most recently with knee surgery. He has an excellent staff, professional and pleasant. I especially like his Physician Assistant (Lori).

I feel fortunate to have found Dr. Caronis as my orthopedic surgeon. He was able to clearly recommend the appropriate type of surgery for my condition and took an extensive amount of time explaining all the details and what to expect. He took the time to check on me after my surgery and never made me feel rushed when I returned to the office for postop visits. Dr. Caronis is one of those very special physicians - highly recommend!
