Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Was able to get in to see him promptly and he ran the necessary tests to diagnose my problem. He has a very good manner and throughly went over what was causing my pain as well as potential treatment and recovery. I now understand what is causing the problem and my options.

Laminectomy
Provided detailed explanations of my surgical options and allowed me to ask lots of questions - never rushed me. Had two options- one requiring 3 month healing period and another with 12 month recovery. Lengthy one would have been successful solution with risks. Shorter one less risky and good chance of fixing by L2L3 issue. Dr Koreckij thought shorter one would provide desired results. He was right, surgery lasted two hours, no overnight stay. three months later “healed.”! Dr Koreckij amazing doctor very professional but very compassionate, never seemed to want to hurry. He should be your choice !!

Worst experience - unprofessional
This doctor and office is unprofessional, unprepared and difficult to work with. 4 months of my time was wasted. The “nurses” are medical assistants with no real medical knowledge and instead created unnecessary drama. Each time I attended an appointment it was over an hour and a half wait. Completely disrespectful and lacked patient centered care. No treatment plan was ever provided.

With Gratitude, Thank you
He was an artist who was performing surgery on my back. I came in so much pain and could barely walk with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis. Now I can go out of the country and vacation with much walking. I would recommend him to anyone.

Caring and takes time
My pre and post op visits with Dr. Koreckij were completely suited to me. I feel that he’s a highly skilled surgeon. I would recommend double checking all communication with the staff as that was less than desirable. I would highly recommend him but stay on top of the communication with the office.

Great Doc
I had been living with back pain for years. He performed a fusion on my low back, took out the useless spinal stimulator and redid my previous fusion. While I will always have back problems, I know that he will tell it to me like it is and not be wishy washy like so many doctors are. He is one of the good ones.

My Visit with Dr Koreckij and his nurse Carisa.
He and his nurse were very well versed in their job. I went in in a wheelchair and had a Laminectomy and on my 2 week post op, I walked in with no pain, and no help. Thank you both and your crew for giving my life back. Would definitely recommend to any and all of my friends and family and anyone that needs this surgery. May God Bless you for helping out so many people.

How in the world did he manage a 5 star rating. The guy is clueless. If I had not gone for a second opinion and taken this idiots advice of "do nothing" I would have ended up in a wheelchair with a bunch of serious health conditions.

Exceptional!
Dr. Koreckij took the time to listen to me, thoroughly reviewed my images and presented a plan of action based on our discussion together. He immediately established a great rapport with me and my husband. He included my husband in the conversation and explained everything to us in lay terms and made sure that we understood the plan of action. He is very personable and friendly! I highly recommend him.
