Karnezis Tom MD

I feel the need to definitely post something about Dr. Karnezis. I happened upon him by breaking my arm and visiting the emergency room at Alexian Brothers Hospital in Elk Grove Village. He was assigned to me so I didn’t have a chance to research him or his office. However, I do have to say that first impressions can be deceitful I was not fond of him or his horrible scheduling of doctor appointments or post surgery follow-​up. But after seeing him for the past 3 months, he is a very caring doctor and so very, very nice. His office staff has always been friendly and as accommodating as they can be when he runs late and is of no fault of theirs. He did a tremendous job on my broken arm and dislocated wrist and has shown nothing but concern and professionalism in my treatment.

Scammer!!! Had to call BCBS about his bill. He charges your insurance for things he doesn’t do and for equipment he never gives you. He doesn’t even talk to you directly when you come in. He has patients lined up in the hallway and spends as little time with you as possible. It’s obvious the guys tries to process as many people through quickly to maximize his profits. Do not NOT go here. Reported him to Illinois Attorney General as well as the Office of Professional Regulation.

What an absolute joke of an office.
He put six stitches in my hand when a wine glass lacerated me at work. Since then, even though worker’s comp paid out, he’s been sending me $ 16,000 bills for all sorts of work that never took place — tendon rebuilding, skin grafts, the whole nine yards.
Every time I call them, I get put through to their billing office, told that a supervisor will call me back, and — whaddaya know — they never do.
This has been going on for three years now, and I’m worried my credit rating will suffer for their negligence. I’m considering lawyering up.

Definitely stay away. He will over bill you and then not even look into it or get back to you. I also had a follow-​up appointment and he did not even show up for two hours. The office staff said that was normal and he claimed that since he was a specialist that people should be waiting for him. No thank you.
