Dr. Caronis is an A++++, 2nd time he has performed surgery on me and he is completely trustworthy with a amazing bed side manner - raise for him $$.
Dr. Caronis is a wonderful doctor and person. When I go in to see him (or taken any of my family members in to see him), he treats us with respect, he listens to our concerns, and he takes care of the issue at hand.
Dr. Caronis is an excellent doctor.
Excellent care.
Got in quickly after injury.
Orthopedic for broken heal, excellent service & care.
Very good doctor. I would recommend him to other patients.
I had good experiences.
I visit is always good.
Good.
Dr C. was excellent.

the experience was good. Received treatment I came for.
this Dr , took me on an emergency basis , he fit me in to his schedule ... he crated my arm , quickly explained that I had a break ... then took the time to cast it
I had a great experience with this group , Dr Coronis was kind , efficient , and took his time with me . I would not hesitate to refer him to others !
Thank you very much, for all your attention your kindness, may God take care of you.
He is a good specialist, everyone, thanks for saving my life, when I was in the Lake Forest Hospital.
to fast
I have the greatest respect for Dr Caronis and am grateful his took care of me.
Was very good, made me feel very comfortable and at EASE!
Doctor Caronis is a very good doctor.
Dr. Caronis has always gone out of his way to help in any way he can.
My overall experience was positive. Dr. Coronis is a highly skilled and knowledgeable orthopedic surgeon.
Had a specific pain problem - he had helped me more than 10 months earlier & helped me this time also.
bad experience!
very efficiently run office visit. no waiting time once I arrived. greeted at the front desk and once in the exam room area. felt respected.
glad to not see others in the waiting room area during covid experience which tells me the scheduling was done well to move patients thru efficiently and timely
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Caronis and his staff throughout my healing process, especially considering we were under a "shelter-in-place" situation.
Very informative and thorough.
Good experience
Really liked Dr. Caronis. He was good to me.
First video visit. It went very well. The doctor even called in early. We just evaluated how effective the injections for my knee were and what the next steps were.
Hadn't used a video visit before. Was surprised at how effective I found it. May request to use it again.
It was a good experience. Provider was very respectful and listened to my concerns.
excellent care given. very responsive to questions and willing to do procedure right then, not making me wait or go through a second visit.
I am very much appreciated the services & thanks them.
Good.
Very good.
Dr. Caronis never rushes an appointment and answers all of my questions.
Dr. Caronis is a very sympathetic and concerned provider. He validates and addresses my concerns and answers my questions clearly in a way that is easy to understand.
Dr Coronis is a terrific doctor. I appreciate his care and am extremely satisfied.
The Provider is a gifted Surgeon who combines his mastered professional skills with humor and real interest and concern for my best recovery. His staff and assistants reflect the same goals.
The receptionists, nurse, & doctor were all fantastic!
Everything was great! The doctor was very nice, knowledgeable & gave me clear instructions on how to care for my ankle he was one of the nicest doctors I've ever had!
very good experience!
Doctor was referred by ER physician to treat broken ankle. The physician's assistance was wonderful , kind and gentle , very attentive to caring for broken ankle without hurting arthritic knees !
Dr Caronis was very professional and personable. I felt as though he truly cares about helping me with this ankle pain.
Visit was to request a letter regarding current status and condition of my knee. Dr Caronis seemed to know immediately what I needed and said he would dictate the letter right away.
I was very pleased with Dr Caronis' responsiveness. But - I never received the letter. When I called about it today the person I spoke to didn't know anything about it. She said she would follow up and call me back. I could have picked the letter up today. She never called back and I am still waiting to find out what is going on. Now I will have to make a special trip to Libertyville. It was 6 days ago that I saw Dr Caronis and I have a deadline to forward this letter to the FAA. I'm very disappointed.
Dr Caronis and X were wonderful! Direct without being abrupt. Explained without condescending. Listened and truly seem to care. X was friendly.and explained the surgery process fully.
Other than the providers, no clinical or administrative staff member introduced themself or explained the process.
I feel I am in the best hands with this surgeon doing my surgery. I felt so comfortable and cancelled surgery with another surgeon to see Dr Caronis and have him perform my surgery.
Very good courteous and professional treatment.
I left with confidence that my issue will be properly evaluated.
The facility and office space needs serious updating.
Dr. Caronis gave me a prescription for an orthotic for my shoes that helps me stay active and pain free for the last three years.
I was a patient of Dr. Caronis when he was with another practice. I followed him to Advocate Medical Group because he was able to help me find a solution to my foot pain. I had been to a podiatrist before and the treatments were just not working. Dr. Caronis prescription for treatment was like a miracle and I have been able to stay active as a runner and cyclist for the last three years.
always informative and competent
my visits are always productive and pleasant
Excellent overall experience. Appreciated the time taken by the PA to discuss my care-- the PA made the experience feel very patient-centered.
I saw Dr. Caronis for an achy knee from riding a stationary bike at the Centre Club. I have seen Dr. Caronis on other occasions, and as always, was very helpful and friendly.
I always appreciate the care with Dr. Caronis. I have also seen Dr. X, who is also first rate...friendly, and well versed in helping me.
Thorough - took X-rays - spent time answered questions.
Dr was very pleasant and friendly. He performed a hip replacement on my mom.
I felt very confident in the dr.
Very good.
Gave all the information I needed.
I had a positive experience with Dr. Caronis. I was a brief appt. to explain an x-ray and to order an MRI which is pending.
doctor was very good
wait times were long
doctor cronies listen to me and explain to me thoroughly everything that I needed to know about my surgery and about follow-up care
Dr caronis was very thorough and professional and listen to me carefully and made me feel comfortable about the surgery and post-surgery care
The only problem I had was one of the receptionists. When my appointment was finished, Dr.Caronis told me to stop at the desk to have a disc burned of mt x-ray. I asked an older lady about this and how long it would take. She was vert abrupt and told me there were many patients waiting. I asked her if I could pick it up on the 27th. she said she would put thru the request. I called on the 26th and nothing had been put into the computer. The person I spoke with was very helpful and apologetic. When I came ib on the 27th, everything was ready.
Dr. Caronis was great. He did a very complicated surgery, prepared me for both the short term and long term recovery, and handled the questions I had professionally and compassionately. His staff was also outstanding, and I'm very happy he did my surgery.
Dr. Caronis is easy to talk with, provides clear information about what is happening and what needs to happen, and includes time for me to ask questions. I have recommended Dr. Caronis to others!
long wait stated my concerns but didn't make a difference
This appt. came at the recommendation of a new primary dr. for my mother. We are pleased with the results so far.
My family and I have been seeing Dr. Caronis and his team for years. Always very happy with care and results. Highly recommend!
It was all excellent.
Excellent experience.
Excellent. Questions regarding last 3 months do not apply due to I have not seen a doctor in 4 months.
Dr Caronis has always been very personable, takes interest in me and my life, explains all the health choices, etc. His whole team-Kathy his assistant has been with him for quite some time-have always been the best!
Dr Caronis is one of the BEST Orthopedists I've seen! His PA is EXCELLENT too!
I trust Dr Caronis & X 100%!
great listener and answered all my questions
This MD is my orthopedic MD for my food fracture. He is doing a good job.
He was very professional and given an explanation of my plan of care
Original visit scheduled 30 Sept., moved 1 Oct. He seemed rushed, but attentive. Talked about stopping pain medication. Went to over the counter when needed.
Very helpful as he always was in the past. This was my first time about foot problem.
excellent
I have always been seeing Dr. Caronis for years. He is always very friendly, always ask how is the family doing.
Dr Caronis was very helpful about possibile infection in bone.
very attentive and caring
DR.Coronis is very good physician ,knowledgeable,attentive ,kind , pays attention , listens or your problems
all was satisfactory
Quick, expeditiously courteous and professionally astute.
Dr. Caronis has been great. Took the time to explain why I needed surgery, and has monitored results after. Answered all my questions, and not only told me what to do, but why. if I had any unease, I'd have gone to inconvenient Midwest Orthopedic, but he was great before, especially during because it's healing well, and after. Very good surgeon, just as importantly, a very nice man.
experience was very good. i felt the doctor was very focused on my issue and making sure I was comfortable and understood all my options
good provider able to answer all my questions
