Dr. Nakul Vinod Karkare, MD

Dr. Karkare was kind enough to take on an infected knee replacement which was very difficult. He was personally recommended by a family friend and I am so grateful they chose him. He was open and honest about what was going to take place. He was extremely successful in treating my infected knee replacement and a reconstruction that showed wonderful success from the very beginning. After only one month post op, my recovery could not be going any better. Dr. Karkare is a world class surgeon in my opinion and I feel very fortunate to have had him on my side. He is the BEST!

Thank you for helping me to regain my life with the knee replacement.

Dr. Karkare is an excellent, caring, understanding surgeon. He makes every patient feel like they are his only patient. I had a double knee replacement last year that was customized just for me. He made me feel very relaxed before and after my surgery. It is now a year later and he is still a caring doctor and takes the time to understand and help you. He would be the only hip and knee surgeon I would recommend. He calls you back right away and call you after surgery for a few weeks. He's one of a kind.

Dr Karkare and his staff we extremely attentive and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and made me feel at ease.

Best surgeon ever as thru bilateral hip surgery gave me a normal pain-free life back!The best!

I was searching for a surgeon to do a total hip replacement and one who would be able to work with my insurance. I was fortunate to find Dr. Karkare by doing an online search. I spoke with Donna at Dr. Karkare’s office. She was extremely helpful in getting authorization from my insurer. Donna has the experience in working with insurers so that I did not have to concern myself with the insurance part of it and I could focus on the surgery. It was a great relief. Donna and Sarah were very helpful and professional throughout the entire process. As for Dr. Karkare, I could not have hoped for a better surgeon. He is personable and took the time to listen to my questions and concerns and gave me the answers I requested. At the time of the surgery and follow up he treated me with the kind of personal attention that you receive from a family doctor who has known you for years. Dr. Karkare or Donna, followed up by calling me each day after the surgery to ask how I was doing and when I called with a question the doctor returned my call promptly. I am completely satisfied with the work he performed and am currently in the recovery process. I have total confidence that the outcome will be everything I had hoped for. Choosing Dr. Karkare as my surgeon was the best decision I could have made. The kind of care I received from Dr. Karkare and his staff is the quality type of medical care that I was looking for. If you would like exceptional medical care, caring professionals and an outstanding surgeon, I suggest you contact Dr. Karkare.

I have and will continue to recommend this doctor to everyone I know with full confidence. He operated on my wrist, treated my osteoporosis and is treating my knee problems. He is amazingly kind and I feel he is tops in his field. He treats and cares about all of his patients.

I would like to add onto this review over a month later.... still in Dr. Karkare's care and now almost pain free in my knee joint. He recommended the HYALGAN shots, and thanks to the tenacity of his staff with my insurance company, they were approved and i am now into my second shot out of five.... and yes already feeling great relief. I want to point out that Dr. Karkare was very firm in advising me that everybody reacts differently to this procedure and it may not be a quick fix but it will work in the end. I, fortunately, am one of the ones to respond quickly, thankfully!!!! No one can know the pain one is in with bone on bone arthritis until you are experiencing it and I have never meant a Dr. more supportive, caring, understanding and determined to give a person relief from such pain until I had the privilege of being referred to Dr. Karkare! He is everything you want in a Dr. (bedside manner, skill and knowledge) all rolled into a very neat package!

Dr Karkare makes you feel comfortable, informed, confident & important. I am more than pleased with his treatment of my 16 year old daughter's ACL injury. I would strongly recommend him to everyone. Being a parent himself definitely gives him an advantage in dealing with teenagers. Especially girl teenagers who think leg braces are annoying.... :)

Dr Karkare is a great Doctor.I Recommend him to people I know struggling with pain.I had given up hope on recovering from a painful injury and his diagnosis changed my life.I have gained back my faith in doctors and my prayers were answered by Doctor Karkare.

the care I received from Dr Karkure amazed me. It has been a long time since I have seen a doctor practice in the old fashioned way, putting the patient first.

Dr. Karkare explains all your options, and takes time to discuss all possible treatments. I very much appreciated the follow up calls after treatment. I will recommend him to family and friends without hesitation.

Dr. Karkare explained the procedure to us and what to expect after surgery. Mom's recovery was amazing... Mom had both hips replaced within a two year period. I highly recommend Dr. Karkare . He is a very caring doctor . He followed up after mom returned home by calling her after hours. How many doctors do that! He has since became my doctor.

My mother flew from Canada to see Dr. Karkare. He was extremely professional, courteous and thoroughly analyzed her issue before treating her. Wait time at his office was minimal and since her appointment, she has experienced remarkable improvement. We would highly recommend Dr. Karkare's practice for any hip and knee issues.

Terrific doctor, great attitude, friendly, thorough and concerned.

Dr. Karkare is the most knowledgeable surgeon that I ever met. I appreciated the time Dr. Karkare spent with me. I did not feel rushed at all. He was very thorough in everything. My joint replacement surgery went as smooth as possible. He is the best in the business, hands down.

I was having bad pain in my hip and I went to Dr. karkare for a second opinion. I was told by another surgeon that I need a hip replacement. I did my research very well because I was so worried about the surgery. I choose Dr. Karkare because he is an "anterior hip replacement" expert. I have first hand information on his excellent operative skills as one of my co-worker's mother had her hip replaced by Dr. K. As soon as he walked into the room and started talking, I knew I had made the right decision. Dr. Karkare spent a lot of time with me. The physical exam was done with precision. He looked at my Xrays and surprised me by telling me that though I had some arthritis in my hip, that was not the cause of my pain. He told me hip replacement surgery was his most favorite surgery to do but I did not need it. Dr. Karkare diagnosed me with hip bursitis and injected cortisone into the hip. He explained the injection procedure well before doing it. He asked me to see him as necessary, if necessary. I have not felt the need to go back. Its more than three months after that day and I have no pain whatsoever. I consider myself young and I live a very active lifestyle. I am back to running and playing tennis. I am so thankful to Dr. Karkare for avoiding the surgery by making an accurate diagnosis and giving my hip and me a new lease on life. I have not met a more competent and compassionate MD. If you want a great surgeon who truly cares, go with him. There are not many surgeons around who genuinely care about their patients.

For me, I have been very impressed with dr. Karare who did my knee. He has knowledgeable. He spend time explanning and answering questions. Care was excellent. It was a nice suprise when he visited me at heritage rehab next door to the hospital!. Most important is that I am over one year out and feeling great!.
