About Us
OrthoCare Pain and Rehabilitation Medicine
OrthoCare Pain and Rehabilitation Medicine was founded in 2018 as the need for physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians (physiatrists) in the post-acute care setting was evident. As the acuity of the patient demographic in that setting changed, the need for more comprehensive care in it grew. Rehabilitation centers are continually being evaluated on quality of care, readmission rates and patient satisfaction. OrthoCare collaborates with these rehabilitation centers and medical attendings to improve quality of care, coordinate treatment and manage rehabilitation needs within the rehabilitation center.
Why Choose Us
Our goal is to establish a rehabilitation presence in skilled nursing facilities (SNF). We want the patients to know they have a provider tracking their progress during their stay. SNF benefit from our presence because they have an in-house provider to address medical rehabilitation concerns and to provide appropriate documentation to meet compliance requirements.

Dr. Karam came right in and immediately began examining me. In result, my knee did in fact need to be
aspirated right away. Dr. Karam was patient, kind, gentle and his knowledge, and care was impressive.
Dr Karam provides great information so that I am very informed on optional medical treatments. My lower
back pain and leg went from 8 to 2 and on good days 0.
He is professional and honest as they get
