Recent reviews

Dr. Kartalian showed me on x-ray what was wrong with my ankle and explained exactly what was going on so I could understand it. He explained conservative treatment and last resort treatment if conservative measures don't work. He was extremely thorough and informative. He ordered medicine and equipment that will help relieve pain and increase my mobility.

He is an amazing surgeon. I was off pain meds 36 hours after I had arthroscopic surgery for a severely torn meniscus. He knows his stuff.

Verified patient
Very pleased. He explained everything to me and made excellent recommendations.
Verified patient
I do not like to give poor ratings, however, I knew what I went into the office for and I feel like, the Dr. is giving me the run around and prolonging this procedure just to have me coming back to continue to get co- pays. I did not go to the office to walk out with tape wrapped around my toes. I already knew I wanted to have the surgery for the hammer toes. I was very disappointed in what he had to say. I am not going to do the physical therapy for a hammer toe. This tape is not going to work. I have done this plenty of times during my life having this issue. I am just really upset. I want the surgery which is what I thought I was going in to have the consultation for.
