. Dr. Korsh is my current physician. I had an ALDS-L4 and L5 surgery, which is an anterior lumbar decompression-fusion. He was very attentive towards my health needs. Dr. Korsh made my hospital experience very enjoyable in terms of the care, pain tolerance, and skills. Without a doubt he shows professionalism throughout all his doctoral performances. Thank you Dr.Korsh, as of now I am free from back pain and living a better and healthier life. Especially, since the surgery went as expected. Also, I'd like to thank Mitch as well. Both were outstanding!

Very down to earth and very knowledgable, he was very positive in his prognosis that was a worrisome for my wife who have seen two other surgeon prior and she did not feel confident until she met Dr.Eric Korsh.

Dr. Korsh is one of the few Dr.s I have met that actually takes the time to give to the interest of any patient. I have seen him numerous times and never had a problem with him! He is very knowledgable and is not the type of Dr. to just continuously write prescriptions. I can tell he is very passionate about his job, he will come up with alternative solutions to help you out instead of writing you prescriptions and ridding you of your wallet. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Korsh is such a good doctor. He helped me overcome my injury. He was able to help me get my life back on track. His physician assistant and staff are super friendly. They make the wait seem like nothing. They also have a beautiful fish tank in the office.
