I went to see Dr. Karich for a post surgery follow up. I had injured my low back the week before the appointment. Dr. Karich checked on my for my post surgery follow up and then inquired about my low back. We had a long discussion about my low back and Dr Karich prescribed medication to me to help with my low back pain. What a Godsend. Dr. Karich has always been very good at what he does, this time was the best as he was able to help me with the debilitating pain in my low back by prescribing pain medication (steroids). Thank you Dr. Karich for taking the time to listen to me and my problem and providing me with the pain relief that I desperately needed.
