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.

Thankfulness
If there where more stars, he deserves all! My mom was with her knee shattered by arthritis and osteoporosis (perhaps due to her age) for more than 8 years and the last 3 years it was impossible for her to walk... then Dr. Jeffrey Korchek , Orthopedic Surgeon from North Hollywood CA treated her with injections and new treatments available did not work so 6/7/2022 he performed a knee replacement... a perfect job. A month after the surgery she is walking like she hasn't done in years and incredibly. she is recovering very well. On today's follow-up visit, he told my mother "my greatest satisfaction is to see people happy because what caused them pain and discouragement no longer exists (in this case her shattered knee) and no matter the age, people have the right to be happy and live every day happily, and if I can contribute by doing my job well, that is my satisfaction." After God and His mercy, Dr. Korchek's excellent work has given my mother a new opportunity to fend for herself

Doctor was straight to the point in everything. You can tell he was experienced.. had a torn labrum in my right shoulder and he knew exactly what to do. The surgery went well. The pain wasn't bad.. the team was friendly and fun. I was in and out in no time. I recommend check him out for this type of procedure

Dr Korchek was able to see me quickly and within days repaired my broken kneecap. He was disciplined with post-surgery follow up and proactively suggested exercises to advance my recovery. His office staff is friendly and professional. Location is easily accessible to those with limited mobility.

My physician assigned me to Dr. Korchek for a torn bicep and the doctor was very helpful and thorough in explaining the issue and the options. Surgery was scheduled quickly and the process was effortless and painless, even during COVID. Follow up visits were also great and helpful and my recovery was just as the doctor estimated and I'm nearly back to normal.

Dr. Korchek was outstanding during both of my hip replacements. (It's due to him that I'm out standing, myself!) His explanations during every step of the process are clear, creating an atmosphere of complete confidence and trust. He was attentive before and after the procedure and the surgery itself was flawless. The office staff is uniformly excellent, constantly helpful and very efficient. I would give them all the highest possible recommendation!

Dr Korchek is an absolutely outstanding practitioner. He is caring, skilled, has an excellent "bedside manner" and nothing is too much trouble for him in the ongoing care of his patients. At his practice his assistants are friendly and very efficient. i could not speak more highly of Dr Korcheck.

Had a total knee replacement, and am feeling great. In just a few months I’ve been able to participate in activities pain free! He’s a terrific doctor. I had a knee replacement on my right knee 14 years ago and it was a terrible experience. Took 7 painful months to recover. I highly recommend Dr. Korchek!!

I am PAIN FREE!!! Dr. Korchek has been absolutely fabulous to work with. Over the course of two years, I was having escalating issues with my right hip and last year, the situation had reached the point of needing to have hip replacement surgery. Dr. Korchek was terrific through the whole process. Pleasant, interesting to talk with, clear as a bell about everything that was going to happen, and obviously very respected by the team at Providence Hospital @ Buena Vista and Alameda, I am so happy that I was initially referred to Dr. Korchek and he has been with me through this journey. He is very experienced, kind, and a great surgeon. I feel great and now have NO issues with my hip. Thank you, thank you Dr. Korchek!!!!!

Dr. Korchek had treated me for fractured ankles, twice. I like and trust him. He encourages me to be an active leader in my recovery. I was always treated with respect and courtesy. I've recovered nicely from both injuries. The staff was wonderful, polite, fun and encouraging. I can't recall waiting longer than 10 minutes, whether for an x-ray to getting together with Dr. K. for an exam

I was referred to Dr. Korchek to repair my ruptured distal biceps tendon. He was caring and patient at every step of the way, clearly explaining to me what the surgery entailed and why he thought it was necessary, and checking my recovery at our follow-up appointments. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable, he was down-to-earth and easy to talk to. Great bedside manner. He's a skilled surgeon as well -- my recovery has been fast, and my incision scar is minimal. Highly recommend!

I went to Dr. Korchek with a painful case of "Tennis Elbow," and Dr. Korchek healed me! My elbow had been hurting for 3 months, but Dr. Korchek was able to make the pain go away in a couple of days! I am very happy with the care I received from Dr. Korchek and would recommend him to anyone needing any kind of Orthopedic care. Thanks Dr. Korchek, your awesome!

Dr. Korchek performed a total knee replacement for me in July 2017. He is a great and caring surgeon, who told me what to expect and followed up with me to ensure recovery success. I will definitely have him perform my second knee replacement when the time comes to fix the other knee.

I've had Doctor Korchek for more than 15 years for help with my knees. As an avid tennis player I had three orthoscopic surgery, and finally total knee replacement. I would recommend him to any one with knee problems. He also treated my husband successfully with his knees.

Dr. Korchek is a very knowledgeable and approachable doctor. He and his office staff are a class act all around. He has always been straightforward with me and he will not let me leave his office until I understand what his prognosis is and directives are going forward. He cares about your well-being and the progress preoperative and post-operative. He truly cares and wants you "back on your feet",or whatever ails/ailed you, as soon as medically possible. He truly wants the best for you.
