Ronald P. Karzel, MD

Emeritus

The following are reviews from patients of Dr. Karzel.
  • “I have had two surgeries at SCOI, and my son had one surgery there. There is no other place I would recommend surgeries to friends and family. The thoughtfulness and kindness shared by all whom I came in contact with at the surgical site was very much appreciated. Surgery is a far less scary and stressful experience at SCOI. Thank you, Dr. Karzel, staff, and employees at the Van Nuys surgical center for all of your support, warmth, and tender hands. I am ever so grateful to you all.”

  • “SCOI is an amazing facility and I am so glad it's here in Santa Clarita, where I live. It's nice to be able to go to one place for your doctors, x-rays, MRIs and physical therapy. Dr. Karzel and his staff are great!  Dr. Karzel has done all my surgeries including, a right shoulder and double knee surgeries. Everything went as planned. I completed my physical therapy and am back to waterskiing and working out on a regular basis!”

  • “I had constant pain in my knee and down my leg for four months. The pain had increased in the last month, making it difficult to drive or sleep. I had been taking Ibuprofen 2x day and used ice packs, but they were only a temporary help. After Dr. Karzel gave me the injection, I immediately started feeling great relief. I continued to take the Ibuprofen and by the next week, I was pain free with no problems.  I am back to my everyday life and very thankful to Dr. Karzel and staff. Happy Holidays. -- Barbara B.”

  • “Initially, I was concerned about under going the shoulder surgery due to my advanced age. Dr. Karzel had new x-rays taken, studied them and said, I can fix your shoulder. Those were the words I needed to hear. Then as I went to various medical offices for my medical clearances, I was always asked whom my surgeon was. When I answered Dr. Karzel, I was always told that he was the best and a therapist, whom I have known for years, recommended him. I am totally pleased with the results of the surgery and recovery to date.  My therapist has released me recently. -- Mickey B.”

  • “I thought I just had an injury due to a spinnaker accident while on vacation. I knew I had torn my rotator cuff, but did not realize I had other injuries as well. Dr. Karzel saw a bone spur and possible tears in my biceps. My biceps ended up being frayed and needed repair also. I was really upset I had to have surgery because I did not want ugly scars on my shoulder. I know that sounds vain, but I wanted to be able to wear sleeveless tops confidentially. To my amazement, not only are the scars nearly invisible, but my down time was only two weeks before I went back to work. Dr. Karzel and the staff at SCOI were truly friendly and made me feel completely at ease and I knew I was in good hands. If I have to have another surgery, there is nowhere else I would even consider. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.”

  • “I recently had shoulder surgery by Dr. Karzel. He was very understanding and explained the entire procedure, explaining the worse scenario to the least so there were no surprises. I'm recovering very well from my surgery. Everyone at the Van Nuys surgical center was very friendly and professional, from the front office to surgical techs. They made me feel like I was their only patient for the day. Thank you to everyone!”

  • “Dr. Karzel did an AMAZING job on my torn meniscus. It’s been two months and I'm back to working out. I'm a personal trainer and fitness instructor, teaching Boot Camp and High Intensity Interval Training. I modify a bit but overall, my knee feels wonderful, with no pain or swelling. Thank you Dr. Karzel for your expertise and great manner. I recommend Dr. Karzel to anyone who tells me they are having knee issues. I hope I never do again, but if I ever have issues, he will be my surgeon!”

  • “Dr. Karzel fixed a shoulder issue that other orthopedic doctors failed to do. They have become very special in my life and my world. I have returned to my very active life with my new start. Extremely recommended in every way... and Mickey is fun and a bright ray of sunshine in my heart as they all do.”
