The doctor was very nice and professional.Unfortunately, he contradicted the radiologist report and discounted the findings of the MRI. According to the doctor, there is no issue with my rotator cuff, a torn bicep and torn labrum is normal for my age and that he would only recommend a cortisone injection for the pain. He handed me a copy to the radiologist report for the neck MRI only. It was interesting that he kept the MRI report regarding my right shoulder. Both are on-line.Based on his facial expression, he appeared surprised when I advised him that I would be seeking a second opinion.

Dr.Karich is amazing. I would not see any other orthopedic surgeon!
Providence Patient
I really like Dr. Andrew Karich & his staff. They got me in and out within 30 minutes which was very quick & answered all my questions about my torn shoulder (rotary cuff) Dr. Karich explained how I could have surgery to fix the tear but it wasn't necessary unless the pain becomes unbearable & informed me of things I could do to help my shoulder heal naturally without having to have surgery. Usually at other hospitals, I have friends with this same condition & the Doctors & Hospital they went to pushed for surgery, which I thought would be the case - but Dr. Karich surprisingly told me other methods I could do to heal naturally. I've had this torn rotary cuff for over 10 years & it never hurt until the last 3-4 months so I know it can heal & get better in time, if I avoid doing certain things like being on my cell phone scrolling the internet in a bad position, which most likely hurt shoulder & caused the pain to come back after years of not hurting! I really appreciate Dr. Karich's sensitivity, kindness & professionalism. He is a very good doctor & I appreciate my primary physician, Dr. Anne Ford for recommending him to me! Thank you Providence for your help, as always! I would never go to any other providers or Hospital as your care is the VERY BEST IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA!

Providence Patient
The appointment with Dr. Karich lasted less than 10min and I felt that he rushed the appointment without actually taking time to hear what I had to say about the pain I am in. Dr. Karich was dismissive when I told him that I was in pain and did not ask many questions. I mentioned I had an MRI and X-Ray that urgent care had previously ordered. He looked at the MRI and said my knee is structurally sound and that I should be fine, even though I mentioned having pain. I expressed that for work I have to go up stairs which I cannot do without pain - his response was to use my other leg. When I mentioned that I have to stand and walk a lot for work, which also causes pain, he brushed me off and said that I should work through it. His office had me go in for an x-ray an hour prior to my appointment. The x-ray tech said results would be sent to him immediately; he did not review the results of the x-ray at all.I will be seeing a different doctor for a second opinion. If I am to ever need to see an orthopedic specialist again (hopefully not, of course), I will not see Dr. Karich. The nurse that wrapped up the appointment at the end was kind - I did not catch his name, but wanted to acknowledge that.
Providence Patient
Dr Karich is an outstanding doctor.
Providence Patient
Dr. Karich always explains what injection he will administer. Prior to that, he will inquire about my life; what's going on and how I've been. He's one of the few doctors that listens to my response in a very attentive manner. His compassion is always very obvious.Unfortunately the woman that greeted me upon entering did not record my presence. Since my early arrival (7:10) meant extra effort on my part, I waited until approximately 8:10 to be seen by Doctor Karich. That should not happen to any patient.
Providence Patient

Providence Patient
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.
