Dr Vashka was wonderful. Torn meniscus root surgery went exceptionally smooth with very little discomfort. 9 weeks postop and almost as if I never had an issue. The doctor explained everything in detail and never rushed our appointment. Dr Vashka stays very close to his schedule. Wait was always short. .Excellent surgeon who saw me as an emergency within an hour of my doctor calling his office.

Title: Exceptional Care and Expertise:Dr. Vedant Vaksha (Complete Orthopedics,Lindenhurst)I recently underwent knee surgery for torn miniscus and IT Band issue, performed by Dr. Vedant Vaksha, and I cannot express enough gratitude for his exceptional care and expertise.From the initial consultation to post-operative follow-ups, Dr. Vaksha's professionalism and dedication stood out.Firstly, Dr. Vaksha took the time to thoroughly explain my condition and the proposed surgical procedure in a clear and understandable manner. This level of communication helped alleviate any anxieties I had about the surgery.During the surgery itself, Dr. Vaksha demonstrated a high level of surgical skill and precision. The procedure went smoothly, and I experienced minimal discomfort post-surgery, which I attribute to Dr. Vaksha's expertise.Furthermore, the post-operative care provided by Dr. Vaksha and his team was exemplary. They monitored my recovery closely, addressed any concerns promptly, and provided detailed instructions for rehabilitation exercises.Overall, my experience with Dr. Vedant Vaksha has been extremely positive. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine concern for his patients' well-being make him a top-notch knee surgeon. I highly recommend Dr. Vaksha to anyone in need of orthopedic care.

A few years ago I was involved in an automobile accident and my knee was damaged ( I didn't know the extent right away). I needed to see my Primary Care Physician (PCP) who then suggested I see Complete Orthopedics in Stony Brook.I am not a person that usually goes to ANY type of doctors unless my limb is falling off but I knew I had to go for my knee.I made my appointment and went into this with a stereotype ( my own beliefs)but I soon found out how wrong I was in the case of Complete Orthopedics!I was first greeted by the considerate receptionist and then I met my doctor,Dr. Karkare who treated me as a friend that I have not seen in a long time.He was professional and courteous listening to EVERYTHING I had to say. It was determined that I needed a full knee replacement surgery and Dr. Karkare led me through the whole process beforehand allowing me to ask ANY questions I had and Dr. Karkare answered each and EVERY question I had.One thing I would like to assure ANYONE reading this? I am not a man that writes reviews or gives out compliments easily!!I do so now and I suggest that if ANYONE is thinking of getting a knee replacement surgery they at least shop around,but go see Complete Orthopedics in Stony Brook before settling on a Surgeon to perform this surgery.I already knew that Dr. Karkare did a great job with the renewed movements I had after my surgery but this was also assured by another Doctor who has no idea who Dr. Karkare is!!I wish I could answer any questions people have regarding this type of surgery for I am just your typical layperson and I I would answer you honestly just as everything I write here is.The staff and Doctors at Complete Orthopedics are superb and I wish them nothing but the best throughout the holidays.

I researched orthopedic surgeons for approximately a month and, fortunately, decided to make an initial appointment with Dr. Karkare, and, as a result, Dr. Karkare did my hip replacement surgery in August.Almost four months out, I have no pain in my hip, no restrictions as to activities, and nothing but great things to say about Dr. Karkare's skill as a surgeon and the aftercare from him and his staff. Dr. Karkare's caring nature gave me confidence from day one until this day. Everyone involved in my care, including every one of the hospital staff treated me with kindness and respect.

8/6/23 I injured my right knee. Saw Dr. T. Robert Rodin of Complete Orthopedics, Stony Brook, NY on 8/13/23 for an evaluation. I have received such impressive care that I am moved to note it here. Dr. Rodin possess very experienced Orthopedic knowledge as well as an unexpected Nutritional expertise rarely found in physicians today in my opinion. I have benefited greatly from this talented physician and would recommend his guidance in healing a severe soft tissue injury NON surgically to all. Thanks 🙏 Dr. Rodin & Complete Orthopedics.

I had such a wonderful experience with Complete Orthopedics in Stony Brook. Not only did Dr. Kuo fix my broken wrist with such kindness and care, but the office staff, including Billing, Reception and the X-Ray Technician, was always so helpful, going out of their way to ensure that each patient felt welcome, answering any questions with a smile, and ensuring any issues with insurance/billing were handled with the utmost professionalism. I highly recommend their practice!

I'm very happy St. Catherine's sent me to this office for treatment after I broke my collar bone! Unfortunately the break was too severe to repair on its own and I had to have it rebuilt a week after the injury. Dr. Vaksha did a great job fixing it. I'm three months out, and I have full use of the arm and shoulder. The whole office staff is very professional, accommodating, and welcoming. I hope to not need orthopedic services again, but Dr. Vaksha will be my number one choice if I or anyone in family suffers such am injury.
