Jeffrey Korchek, MD

Dr. Korchek is one of the nicest doctors I have gone to. He took his time to explain the procedure. His staff answered every question I had to their fullest knowledge. After the surgery they made sure everything was going well. I am now pain free and looking forward to my normal activities. Thanks to Dr. Korchek.

Dr Korcheck and his staff got me through one of the toughest periods of my life. I thank them everyday in prayer for being so supportive and caring. I am so grateful to be able to walk and do activities without pain. I had to have both hips replaced and Dr Korcheck did an excellent job, I am so lucky to have found him and his staff who are so kind and supportive.

I recently had so much neck and shoulder pain but this time I knew who to turn to… Dr Jeffrey Korchek and his helpful & friendly staff fit me into their schedule immediately and rather than tell me I needed surgery, he directed me for epidurals. This has been my 3^rd positive experience with proper diagnosis & not over testing or over treating. I really appreciate this honest & accurate approach.

Personable, professional, and always explains things in a clear and friendly terms.
Clearly the other reviews have either never been to a doctor in a long time or have it over sense of self importance.
I have personally been in and out of doctors office for the last five years and find this trend of 15 minutes of triage typical. Bring a book, be patient, judge the doctors by what they’re capable of and not by what they’r forced to do in order to make a living.
I too wish this was different, but I need the services more than I need the coveniece.

I can’t understand all the negative reviews! I started seeing Dr Korchek a couple of years ago because of the deterioration of my right hip. He was always very straightforward, and explained things so i could understand easily. He’s got a great sense of humor. His staff is really nice and always make you comfortable as well. When things finally got so i needed surgery, the doctor did a wonderful job, and I am so glad i had this done, and done by someone who knows what they’re doing. I just had my one-​year check up, and it’s better than ever. Hip replacements seem to run in my family, so I’m anticipating perhaps needing another one. I will be sure to go to Dr Jeffrey Korchek when that time comes! I would recommend him highly.

I broke my humerus in my shoulder last November and was referred to Dr. Korchek by my primary doctor at Motion Picture. The doctor and his staff were very helpful and caring. I am now recovered and couldn’t be more grateful to have my life back!!! I’m off disability and back to earning a living! Couldn’t be happier!

Dr. Korchek is an extremely self important, arrogant man. He does not take the time to listen and understand your individual situation and is visibly annoyed when you ask a question. I have since changed doctors, and I’m so much happier with my course of treatment on every single level.

Dr. Korchek is a very rude doctor. He does not have any bedside manner at all. He was in a big rush and talked 100 miles a second and didn’t listen to anything I had to say. He acted like he couldn’t wait to get out of the room. He talked over me every time I attempted to answer or ask a question! He was very rude and condescending and argumentive to say the least. He seemed more like an attorney than a doctor because he had such a seriously mean look on his face the entire time I was there. Unbelievable! I don’t feel like I had a «real» examination and I am definitely going to schedule an appointment with a real doctor that actually cares! What a waste of time Dr. Korchek is. Save yourself the time and aggravation and go somewhere else. :o

AVOID DR. KORCHEK. He doesn’t listen, doesn’t care, and is in a big hurry.
I went to see Dr. Korchek 3 weeks after a major car accident — and was suffering from extreme pain in my shoulder, chest, and neck. I also had a prior shoulder injury that was made worse by the accident, along with a lot of tissue and ligament damage all over my body.
I waited for 1 ½ hours to get x-​rays, and then another 30 minutes until Dr. Korchek finally showed up. His primary focus seemed to be how fast he could get out of the room and shuffle me along.
He ran me through a quick series of tests — moving my arms in different directions — and was moving so quickly and clumsily, that at one point, he pulled my arm back and caused shooting pain where I was injured. But it didn’t even register with him, he was moving so quickly. He never asked me about he car accident — and seemed to assume that it was a mere fender-​bender, as opposed to the major impact that it was. (A van t-​boned our car at 60mph.)
He would ask me questions, but cut me off before I was able to answer them. He was literally speed-​talking through his questions, and really didn’t seem to care what my answers were.
When he found out that an MRI I had received BEFORE THE CAR CRASH for a prior shoulder injury was inconclusive, he told me, «There’s nothing wrong with your shoulder.» When I told him that there obviously was something wrong with my shoulder since I could no longer use my left arm (not to swim, catch, lift, anything… BTW, I’m 37 and I’ve been active all of my life, was a former state soccer MVP, Mogul Skiing Champion, etc.), he turned combative and acted like I was lying about severity of the issue.
Ultimately, he prescribed me a steroid and more pain pills. Then he shuffled me out of the room toward the receptionist. They wanted to schedule me for a 3 week check-​up. I didn’t see the point.
I’ll eventually find somebody that can help me get healthy again. Dr. Korchek is not that person.
I had found other orthopedists that I had wanted to go see that weren’t contracted with my primary provider. I’ll pay the extra money for better care.
AVOID THIS GUY AT ALL COSTS.
