Dr. Caronis was very attentive and personable. He went out of his way to come into the ER right away to see our son and saw him the following morning without an appointment. We really appreciate everything he did for our son. A very positive experience! We will definitely be seeing Dr. Caronis for all our future Orthopedic needs. Thank you!

I have been very happy with Dr. Caronis' skills and professionalism. I had emergency surgery and was pleased that he did the surgery. I am now doing outpatient therapy at Greenleaf and am already seeing positive results.

First of all, I like ALL the physician assistants at Greenleaf Ortho. ALL OF THEM! Both Dr. Bare's and Dr. Caronis' assistant. I feel very comfortable talking with them. With both the PA and Doctor Caronis, my questions were answered. I received a short term and long term solution to my problem. My vacation was taken into account and treatment coordinated with it. I did not feel rushed at the visit. Dr. Caronis draws artwork explaining any issues and when he does that, it's much better than looking at the ortho pictures on the wall. Yes, I have no issues recommending Dr. Caronis
More than 1 year agoSue M.Verified patient
Doctor Caronis is professional, punctual and has great bedside manner. He takes sincere interest in the patient, and patient's family, also easy to speak to and discuss the health issues. I strongly recommend doctor Caronis.

July 15, 2015Angela C.Verified patient
What is so special about Dr. Caronis is he explained the situation to my husband and me AND to our son. Our son told us that Dr. Caronis explained to him everything that he needed to know. He was was always comfortable with everyone in the office.
We were a bit nervous that we didn't get to go pick our Dr. but we could not be happier with the care our son received AND it was super convenient.
June 16, 2015Laura K.Verified patient
Dr. Caronis is the nicest doctor I've ever had any contact with. He is my 99 yr-old mother's surgeon and every time we have had an appointment he has been very kind and considerate. He takes the time to answer any questions and is very patient. Even repeating things when she doesn't understand or has a hard time hearing. He explained her xrays completely and I feel very confident in him.
June 14, 2015Carol E.Verified patient
Dr. Caronis is great! He is kind and compassionate, his bedside manner is the best! He is also very professional and trustworthy.
My office experience was not that good. I waited over one hour and 15 minutes to be seen with no explanation. When I approached the receptionist she didn't even apologize for the wait. I don't believe there should ever be more than a 30 minute wait for an MD appointment. if the wait is longer, the office staff should offer apologies and explanations. They should also make sure the patients are comfortable,

I was put to ease right away.
I want to say the delay in getting in right away was due to the paper work I needed to fill out because I was a new patient. Any questions I had were answered and shortly after submitting the forms I was seen. I left feeling relieved and with a plan of action.

The staff was very pleasant. We were actually seen ahead of schedule. The process was very fast and the doctor answered all of our questions. I don't think I could have asked for a better experience.
May 11, 2015John P.Verified patient
Dr. Caronis is great. Very personable and professional. Takes time to listen and answer questions. However, the support staff at Greenleaf Orthopaedics is my reason for not recommending them and choosing not to use their services should I need them in the future. Upon arrival you are immediately confronted with any remaining account balance and simply telling them it will be paid does not suffice. They make it akwardly uncomfortable in continuing to ask when and how you will be paying. Also makes it embarrassing when other patients are in the area waiting. In fact they are asking about balances I have not even received a statement for as of yet. Seems they are more concerned about getting paid rather than the patient. I understand the importance of them wanting balances take care of but the manner in which they approach it is unprofessional. Again Dr. Caronis is great however I will be looking elsewhere in the future.

Dr. Caronis has been my ortho doc for years, and he is the best. He is concise and thorough, and doesn't order tests that aren;t necessary Has a very friend and professional manner.
May 27, 2015Dean S.Verified patient
Dr. Caronis has always treated me with excellent care ever since I started my contact with him due my breaking my left hip in July, 2014.
In every appointment I have had with him, He is always high spirited, very friendly, shows concern, and always takes whatever time is needed to go over results of treatment and
completely answer any questions or concerns I may have.
I have every confidence in Dr. Caronis and consider him a very well versed and a very competent professional!

His assoc is even better.
April 9, 2015John A.Verified patient
Dr. Caronis repaired my achilles rupture about three years ago and I am back to full power now. He has provided excellent care for me on a few other occasions as well. I'd especially like to point out his superb communication. With some physicians, I always felt like cattle: get em' in, and move 'em out! In contrast, Doc Caronis takes the time to sincerely listen, he patiently answers questions and clearly explains his diagnosis. I would highly recommend Dr. Caronis.
More than 1 year agoSteve M.Verified patient
Great as usual. They had me back in a room in no time and were quick to complete needed tasks. I waited just a very short time before Dr. Caronis arrived. That wait was caused by him reviewing x-rays. Upon entering the room he shook my hand and he showed me the x-rays. He sat facing me and spoke directly to me then pointed out things on the x-ray. He continues to demonstrate a caring attitude by listening and answering questions fully, knowledge of my issues, and requested I contact him if any issues should arise.
April 9, 2015Mark HVerified patient
Dr Caronis was pleasant and professional. He offered me options to try before surgery. I have recommended Dr Caronis and his office to several neighbors and friends with no regrets.
