“Waste of time and money”
Triple humerus fracture, waited an hour for a 2min diagnosis of no surgery needed. Doctor can not prescribe Norco for pain?Gave me nerve medicine. After both my feet and hand swelled up he said the medicine doesn't have that effect and sent me to ER because I probably had a blood clot. WRONG. I had an allergic reaction. I took myself off the meds and swelling went away. Also he charges $25 to make a copy of his 2min diagnosis if you want a second opinion. No cast, no surgery, no pain relief.
This Guy is an interesting as previously mentioned in great detail by the other reviewers hes all about the money, His accounting staff are just as bad dont even bother trying to call or sending letters etc they will not respond they just send you letters stating they will send you to collections regardless of your question or concern over hyped billing. As the other review stated less than 10 minutes resulted in a several hundred dollar bill to to remove the bandaid and look at my finger and sa...

I was referred to Dr Karnezis after being seen in the emergency room for bad ankle sprain, possible fracture or broken foot. I was treated extremely poorly once the doctor was aware that I did not have insurance. I had applied for financial assistance and was approved through the hospital. When I told Dr Karnezis this, the response was "Well the hospital doesn't pay me, That's not gonna pay my rent or put food on my table, or pay my nurse." This response was very rude and I was shocked. I w...

I was billed for services that were never performed and not getting any answers back. I am going to file a report with professional regulation website. He also showed up two hours late one day for an appointment and said, I can do whatever I want. Terrible. Seriously stay away.

I went with my six year old son to Doctor Tom Karnezis, from Alexian Brothers, with the issue of a broken arm. Doctor Tom Karnezis refused to put on the cast, due to the fact that the insurance does not pay him to preform such tasks. After a long discussion weather or not my son needs the cast or not, he came to the conclusion that there is no need to put one on. Dr. Karnezis would not listen to the agrument that I had to say, acting very arrogant and ignorant, he stubbornly insisted that my son...

I was referred to this dr after breaking my hand in a bike accident. I was told I needed to have a cast put on by him within 2 days so I called the next day to make an appointment. The receptionist was repeatedly rude and not helpful at all. I was told I needed to call another dr, but was not told his information or even how to get it. After calling the hospital back they told me to call Dr. Karnezis' office back, but I got the same rude responses and attitude for 3 days without any further h...
