Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

This doctor has very poor surgical skills. She is not very competent as an orthopedic surgeon. My mom had partial hip replacement one year ago, and she still suffers from constant pain even long time after the surgery and has difficulty walking around. We didn't have a choice at that time, otherwise we should have chosen a more competent and experienced surgeon. For the update, even today my mom still has severe pain every day and is disabled after her surgery. This is a very incompetent lousy surgeon and should be disbarred. If you are not fit for the surgery, you should not operate on the people!!! She has caused too much pain and suffering to my family.

Above & Beyond
Dr. C went above and beyond!!Traveling from out of state, I was blessed to be Dr C’s patient, her staff not only helped me to schedule an appointment the same day being very kind and professional, nevertheless Dr C, scheduled my most needed surgery for the next day, because I was traveling the next week.I can only express my gratitude for their care, professionalism and commitment with my recovery. Excellent bed side manners, kindness and clarity in the diagnosis and treatment. Highly recommended!!Thank you Dr C & Staff @ WHOrtopedics !!

Shocking Review
Doctor.'Told me I needed surgery . Sought 2nd opinion as doctor did not inspire my confidence. Found another doctor and doing well without surgery.I am so blessed I went elsewhere. . And Thank God I escaped without the added trauma of needless surgery and the steel plate she was going to install.

Need new staff to answer ph
Never spoke to her, spoke with assistant pa he's nice and knowledgeable. I'm not happy with office personal they should be fired I don't have time for ph tag. They'll pick up pH and put on hold w/o saying anything. The ph will ring about 6 x and then disconnect. They didn't switch over from call service at 8am. Until almost 11am (They knew they were supposed to( I told the Dr that,, unreliable front staff. They did the same thing to my prime care Dr. So everytime I call I have to wonder if they will answer the dang phone!!!

BEWARE>>> Drive somewhere else! Tell ambulance to not go here!!!! I went to HCA west 12/30 with a hole in my arm and chipped elbow. They called it an open fracture. Dr. Carayannopoulos did not bother come evaluate me. She told staff to staple me and send me on my way. Then refused to see me the next day because I pay cash. I would not go to HCA or any of their doctors if my life depended on it. Because of her carelessness, it landed me in Methodist for 5 days because they were worried of infection. THis could have been handled the day of the accident. WORST HOSPITAL AND DOCTORS>
