    How was your appointment with Dr. Karaikovic?

    Aug 22, 2020
    I'm an 80 year old male, with a successful spinal fusion in May, 2020, behind me, and now in the rehab phase. Dr. K was thorough during our initial meetings, clearly explaining all my options after years of back pain, injections and PT. I had a spinal fusion years ago, so there were issues in my spine to complicate the situation, and Dr. K went to great lengths prior, during and post surgery to insure that I had the best possible opportunity to have a successful result. I now have 6 screws, 2 posts and cushions between discs and am having a long but very comfortable effort to return strength, mobility and a much better life.
