Andrew C. Karich, MD

Getting the referral to Ortho was fairly quick. However, getting the appointment with the ortho doctor took about a month or so but once I saw Dr. Carrick and he put through a referral for an MRI that took about four days but then his Office made sure I got in for the MRI within a couple of days and then scheduled me the very next day to come back and see Dr. Carrick because it took so long to get the original appointment, they seem to make sure that they got me in quickly for the MRI follow up visit, which confirmed that I didn't need surgery on my shoulder. And then they scheduled surgery for two weeks out which I thought was good.

This was a good visit. However it took 2 weeks to get an actual appointment and my primary doctor marked it as urgent. In my mind 2 weeks isn't urgent. Otherwise the X-ray went smoothly and I was seen just about the time of my appointment. All-in-all it was a good appointment.

Dr. Karich is an excellent surgeon with great people skills. He takes the time to listen to your concerns and answer your questions.

Dr is always prompt and listens.

Dr. Karish is a very nice Dr. And I was very lucky patient that I know him now after I was sick with a broken arm because he helped me with very much and I will never forget and I am very lucky to have found him thank God that I found him.I was happy to have seen him for the last time on the [Date] Of May and I hope and pray that it all be okay. Thank you for every thing.Dr. Karech with all my heart and I hope I will leave for a while.

Good

I had 2 referrals (from PCP and ER) to see provider, his office reached out to me to schedule appointment, minimal wait and very efficient with examination and scheduling surgery.

Dr. Karich was outstanding. I was in early, seen by him and on my way out before the scheduled appointment time!

Good

Dr was great !

Dr. Karich is a highly proficient surgeon who took outstanding care of me after he operated on my shoulders. I am pleased with the work he has down on each of my shoulders and am glad that he was my surgeon during these procedures. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, and attentive. I appreciate that about him, and highly recommend him to anyone needing shoulder surgery!

Love Dr KARICH. Always so concerned with my issues.

Very satisfied with the procedure, follow up physical therapy and attention

Dr Andy was great

Dr was very up front regarding my condition and explained exactly what was happening and gave me examples of how to compensate. He used himself as an example which made it very easy to relate to.

Dr. Karich is an excellent orthopedic surgeon who listens and cares for his patients. I'm so relieved that my rotator cuff tear is very small and does not require surgery at this time. Conservative management is recognized. I'm very pleased having Dr. Karich as my referral for my chronic left shoulder pain.

Doctor did a great job repairing my knee

Dr Karich is an amazing surgeon who is very easy to talk to. He has done 2 surgeries for me and I would recommend him to family and friends. He answers all your questions and makes you feel comfortable about the surgical procedure. I feel I was fortunate to have Dr Karich do my surgery. Providence is lucky to have him work here.

No significant concerns or comments

Dr. Karich not only has a great bedside manner, he really knows his stuff! I am very impressed and confident with his advices. Always treats with care and respect.

Dr. Andrew Kerick and all the staff were great attentive and respectful. I had a positive and reassuring visit.

Love Dr KARICH! He's great.

Dr. Karich is friendly, respectful, and professional. It's a pleasure to meet with him. He took the time to answer all my questions.

Good experience

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 was really helpful and I felt safe getting care from him.

The appointments always go good just the wait time

Dr Karich and his team are very professional while also being friendly and kind.

Dr.Karich is amazing. I would not see any other orthopedic surgeon!

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!

Excellent care, from my first appointment, thru surgery and post-op appointments

45 minute wait for X-ray, overall a good experience
