About Karen E. Evensen
Dr. Karen Evensen is a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon specializing in hip and knee disorders. She treats the full spectrum of lower extremity orthopedic issues, from athletic hip or knee injuries to advanced arthritis requiring hip or knee replacement surgery.
A graduate of the University of Michigan Medical School, she completed an Orthopedic residency at the University of Iowa. She went on to complete dual fellowship training: a fellowship in Musculoskeletal Oncology at the University of California, Los Angeles, followed by a fellowship in Joint Reconstruction through the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic.
Dr. Evensen focuses on customizing patient care, ranging from conservative management options --such as lifestyle changes, structured physical therapy, and joint injections-- through surgical management. Her surgical approach includes use of minimally invasive techniques and a multidisciplinary team approach in order to successfully return each patient to an active and healthy lifestyle.University of Michigan Medical School

Providence Patient
Very knowledgeable and professional. Nice and friendly.
Providence Patient
The receptionist that checked me in screamed my name "[Name(s)]" I jumped up & she said, "They are calling your name. YOU CANT HEAR!" The Dr did nothing for me except wasted my time. She wants me to exercise my thigh before helping me with my pain in my hip. I exercise almost every day & that includes my legs. At 72 years old I am doing enough to help myself. I never resort to mess unless necessary. I will never go to Dr evenste. Again. I will seek out another Dr who can help me with my hip pain. And I will get a cortisone shot every 3 mo. Like I need too. I could drop dead next week at my age. So I need help with my hip pain. Dr needs to consider age related pain.
Providence Patient
Supportive and encouraging of the weight loss program both my wife and I are on. Me to lose enough weight to move forward with hip replacement and my wife for health.
Providence Patient
Everyone should be as caring and friendly as this one. She seemed to really go into detail so I understood. I would recommend her to everybody. She is a 10+.

Providence Patient
