Providence Patient
Dr Karich is helping me manage a condition causing chronic pain. He is very professional and listens to my concerns. Working with him has also dramatically reduced my daily pain. I am very satisfied with my care from him.
Providence Patient
I had two appointments with this doctor and he did not show or review my X-Rays and MRI in either visit. He started the second visit saying I needed surgery, he did a sketch of the surgery on the back of a picture print out from the MRI and then explained the recovery period. I was given a business card and told I would be contacted to scheduled the surgery. I did not receive the care and attention that I usually get from all of my other doctors.
Providence Patient
Thank you, Dr. Karich and Staff
Providence Patient
Dr. Karich and my pcp Dr. Ajit are excellent providers. They listen, provide answers, treat me with respect and compassion. Their staff are friendly and helpful as well.It is difficult to schedule appointments through the call center. Always a long wait to get an appointment unless it is provided at the time of your visit. Aside from that I am very happy.

Dr. Karick is definitely a good orthopedic doctor. I didn't like the first meeting with him, so I waited until the last appt to make this comment. He's different at the end, he's happy to see how the outcome of his work/repair is. I think the first time was all business, to get the broken fixed. He's a good doctor. He fixed my achilles.

Dr Karich recently performed a reverse shoulder replacement on my L shoulder. And did a phenomenal job. The pain is gone, and my range of motion continues to increase. Although I will still be healing and strengthening for another 6 months or so, I am extremely pleased with the results! My healing is progressing very well. I really appreciate the excellent care I was given.

Providence Patient
Great visit
Providence Patient
It was a follow up visit after a mua shoulder procedure. My appt with Dr.Karich lasted less than 5 minutes. My frozen shoulder condition is remarkably improved after the procedure. He had me move my arms in 3 positions and said it's better. It will take about 6 mos to feel completely fine. I mentioned that I had just started strength training in my pt sessions but he misheard me and wrote in the notes that I had not started strength training. He must have misheard me. Other than that, it was a speedy visit but have been steadily improving since the procedure.
Providence Patient

Providence Patient
Dr Karich appears to be very knowledgeable about shoulder injuries
Providence Patient
Excellent patient care.
Providence Patient
Time waiting for any of my doctors are never an issue. If it's 15 min or over an hour because I never know what the patents ahead of me may have had or the time It took to resolve their Issues. Sometimes my visits are quick without concerns, other times I have major issues that take time with my doctors . I'm glad that my group of doctors don't rush me out to herd patients in on time so they don't get dinged on a survey. I'm sure they all would like to on time for their patients but they're the ones that stay late to ensure their patients are taken care of. That's a great physician to me.
Providence Patient
Doctor was very kind and knew we needed to get help right away and he has recommended another doctor to help with my shoulder problems thank you [Name(s)]
