Ronald P. Karzel, MD

Emeritus

The following are reviews from patients of Dr. Karzel.
  • “Both of my daughters have been treated by SCOI, and their experiences from diagnosis to surgery and then rehabilitation have been excellent; so when I started to play tennis regularly and a knee situation came up, of course my first thought was to come and see Dr. Karzel and his staff at SCOI. Their experience, knowledge, and welcoming attitude is the best. I recommend SCOI to anyone who asks about a reference to an orthopedist!”

  • “Dr. Karzel and his assisting physician did extensive reconstruction of my right shoulder rotator cuff.  My recovery, elimination of discomfort, and returned mobility has been outstanding. My heart felt thank yous to Dr. Karzel and all of his staff.”

  • “Dr. Karzel is the best! After a year and a half since my shoulder surgery, I do not even remember having it unless someone asks about it. The scars are almost invisible and I am able to work out and enjoy any activity. It’s with my deepest gratitude to Dr. Karzel for my strength and well-being. His staff is also wonderful and caring. SCOI is the only place I recommend to anyone.”

  • “I came to Southern California Orthopedic Institute for knee surgery, a torn meniscus and arthritis. I was given kind and thoughtful care for my surgery. The procedures were explained to me in detail including risk and expected benefits from the surgery. The surgery went well and the follow-up care has been fabulous. I would recommend the doctors, PAs, and friendly staff to anyone seeking orthopedic treatment. Honestly I felt like I was treated like family.”

  • “I have been a stuntwoman in the motion picture business for over 30 years.  Dr. Karzel has put me back together after injuries at work and from accumulative injuries.  I also am a Gold Card Member of the Woman's Professional Rodeo Association and run barrels and team rope at professional rodeos. I am the Woman's Professional Rodeo Association California Circuit Director and with out your sports medicine, SCOI, I would not be able to be competing at a Pro Level as a Pro Athlete at 53 years of age.  I thank you for all of your help.”

  • “My wife and I have used SCOI several times with great success. My wife went for foot and hand issues. I had a knee issue and both shoulders operated on by Dr. Karzel. Most recent was my left shoulder with extensive muscle and rotator cuff damage. Aside from going into great detail about what needed to be done, Dr. Karzel made certain that I understood the surgery process, start to finish, recovery, and rehabilitation. What impresses me the most though is that in a day, when people are looking for any reason to sue a doctor and blame them for anything that may go wrong, Dr. Karzel supplies you with a video of the procedure. Pretty confidant if you ask me! Very professional outfit and we are pleased with the results!!”

  • “I have seen many doctors throughout my years and by far I find Dr. Karzel and his team to be in complete communication with the patient and they have always showed tremendous care. Any questions I had were always answered, I never felt rushed. When I did have surgery, I always felt safe and I knew without a shadow of doubt that I was in excellent hands. Him and his staff each have remarkable bedside manners and were always willing to answer any questions that I had. My greatest appreciation to Dr. Karzel, Carol, and Micky.”

  • “I am still in the middle of my recovery for a fractured shoulder and SCOI has shown extraordinary professionalism and courtesy over the period I have been treated by them. The entire Valencia office is friendly and very accommodating when it comes to scheduling appointments. Overall, SCOI is a wonderful group of physicians that have hired a wonderful staff as well.”

  • “I have been trying to nurse my knee back to pain free for several months and finally went for help. I was referred to Dr. Karzal by my local orthopedic doctor, due to the extreme nature of my injury. My badly torn meniscus was repaired and I am now able to walk normal again. I am looking forward to riding my motorcycle and driving without enduring pain. Thank you Dr. Karzal, for the informative consultations and the great job you did on my knee.”

  • “All I have to say is that Dr. Karzel did a fantastic job on my ACL/meniscus knee surgery. I had an unstable knee and with the surgery I believe I will be back to my old self, if not better even. It was unbelievable, surgery went terrific, I had no pain whatsoever after the surgery. Two weeks after the surgery I was off crutches and brace, and now a little over a month I am almost walking without a limp and feeling very well. Dr. Karzel did an amazing job and I am so grateful.”
