Shoulder Reviews
“Great staff, wonderful attitudes, and a pleasant experience; Dr. Karzel is awesome.”
– Gary N.
“I brought my 18-year-old son to SCOI to have his shoulder fixed. It was falling out of joint after 15 years of racing Motocross. We are extremely pleased with the results thus far. Dr. Karzel and his coordinator Mickie are wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone with a serious shoulder injury.”
– Dennis K.
“Dr. Karzel is the best. I had surgery with him on my left shoulder back in 2010. He did a great job!! He will be doing my right shoulder here in the next few months. I trust him and know it will come out as great as the last time.”
– Janie S.
“Shoulder and bicep repair. I’m very pleased with the results. Also very thankful for the staff and everyone who assisted during the process.”
– Patrick W.
“Excellent care. Dr. Karzel explains everything clearly, and involves the patient by explaining everything clearly. He is kind and thoughtful, and clearly loves his work. He is the very best!”
– Bridget R.
“To date my experiences at SCOI are always friendly and professional. Dr. Karzel and staff have helped me with my orthopedic needs. He is a wonderful and thorough physician and I trust him completely. Want to add that Michael Peffer, Mickie and Carol are the best.”
– Diane O.
“All of my experiences at SCOI have been first-rate regardless if it was for my family or me, work comp, or personal insurance. My most recent experience is no exception, Dr. Karzel, Carol and Mickie all went above and beyond to get me the care I needed. They had to navigate the very cumbersome work comp environment and did so with grace and ease.”
– Michael T.
“Great.”
– Richard P.
“I have seen Dr. Karzel for a work-related injury to my right shoulder. Dr. Karzel performed the surgery successfully in April, and with six months of physical therapy, I am ready to return to work. The office where all of the appointments got held to the surgical center was great. If I had a question, they were courteous and respectful in providing an answer.l”
– Justin G.
“From Start to Finish, everyone was very professional, friendly, helpful, and caring. A workman's comp claim presented its issues, but in the end, it all worked out. The Dr. was excellent and did a superb job of the surgery. I have no complaints at all. I am pretty much pain-free right after the surgery. We would highly recommend Dr. Karzel, his staff, and SCOI Therapy. If Dr. Karzel and SCOI were on our Medicare Plan, we would use them for any future issues, but at this time, they are not part of the plan we are in, which is unfortunate.”
– Ronald S.
“He provided me excellent care and explained everything that was getting done. Also, he shows genuine concern for his patients.”
– Brian A.
“Everything was very smooth. The wait time was perfect. Doctors' knowledge is outstanding.”
– Lee B.
“My procedure was an elective shoulder procedure for the SASI study. My experience was very good. Doctor Karzel is a very fine doctor and I very good with his patients. The surgery staff was also excellent. Friendly and kind and very good at explaining every step along the way. Over all I would rate my experience as excellent across the board! Thank you.”
– Gary N.
