Dr. Frank Ernest Lorch IV

I suffer from a variety of issues in my back that all combine to create sever chronic pain. This guy had the WORST bed manner ever. I worked thru rehab without any improvement, then the shot on my spine also without any help. During this time he made obtaining pain medication a complete nightmare. At the next appointment he walked into the room and without any greeting at all, no good morning, afternoon, nice day etc. said "so when do you want to schedule this surgery?" I asked, that's it? I don't have any other choices? He responded; "NO, and I'm not going to prescribe pain medication for you..... I would avoid this person at all cost. I say person and not doctor because I always thought doctors were supposed to help patients .... not leave them in pain. I have rated 1 star only because there isn't a rating that is lower.

He goes beyond than what he supposed and cares about you. He is a good listener and smart. Also, he looks cold but he one of the warmest and sweetest doctor that I ever met

I found Dr Lorch to be one of the best and careing physicians I have met in my many dealings with physicians. I have many problems to deal with and Dr Iorch has been on target and has helped me very much.

Doesn't seem to believe that a back can heal and wanted to jump immediately to shots and surgery without seeing if something less radical would work. Did not want to listen to patient's wishes or views of another health provider - almost and reacted almost to the point of antagonism.
