Bio

Dr. Karges specializes in orthopedic trauma and foot and ankle surgery. While he cares for all foot and ankle problems, he is particularly interested post traumatic reconstruction of the lower extremity.

"I encourage an open conversation with each of my patients to allow for a team approach to their complex condition(s). It is important in my practice that patients not only feel well cared for but that they are educated on their unique pathology and understand their expected outcome and its timeline."
