The staff there was awesome! This was my 2nd back fusion. The 1st doctor messed up. So my lawyer sent me to Dr Korsch, and I was up and walking in 2 days! The sciatic pain stopped cold! I had this surgery done in 2011, I'm still walking without pain. But my muscles cramp up if I walk too long. I'm just weak from not walking for almost 2 years from the injury. Today I am working and still trying. Thanks doctor Korsch! read more

The best care I've received ever honestly, I recommend this doctor and his team. They focus on holistic health and the best interest of the patient hands-down I would recommend this to my family and all my friends. Dr. Korsh and his team are amazing if I could give them 10 stars II would!! Thank you, Dr. Korsh for truly caring about your patients. read more

Money hungry has no care for his patient health. He doesn't care about helping them he cares about making sure they get surgery he over medicate and then when patients aren't getting better he gets Butt hurt that his surgery may have FAIL because he swears he's perfect like god. LET ME ALSO SAY HIS STAFF IS AMAZING HIS Practitioner is amazing!!! And so is his medical staff. He's the only one who is horrible. Don't use this business get treatment elsewhere or don't get the back surgery. I did and it's now almost 3 years my back pain is worst that before and I regret listening to him. Don't trust him. read more

Attentive experts and reliable professionals. I'd recommend them to anyone. Had surgery two months ago, great recovery read more

Eric S Korsh, MD - Orthopedists Near Me - San Diego, California

As someone who has had to "take the first spine surgeon available" in my past after I was rear-ended by a call going at least 80 MPH and I was at a complete stop - I have finally found a spine surgeon I trust with my care. I did my research on Dr. Korsh, he has been practicing at least 30 years and is one of two spine surgeons that, to my knowledge, Sharp Healthcare has for spine specialists. Dr. Korsh from the first meeting I have felt completely comfortable with. He took his time every step of the way, explaining all of my options, making a recommendation on his approach through all of his experience. We came to a mutually beneficial schedule so I would miss as little work as possible. I have the best PPO Insurance money can buy, he also deals with Workman's Compensation. Unfortunately it happened on my way to a meeting so it was Workmas Comp. He gave me all of my options. Told which would improve the quality of my life, not just fuse everything together, even though there are some areas that may need to be revisited in the future. 1- He fixed another "Chief of Neurology" at a North SD county hospitals mistake. Dr. Korsh has to remove a failed artificial disc that only caused more damage that's to the "other Dr." 2- This was not a simple fix to this other doctors poor choice in judgement. He had to chisel and brings bone away from this failed Mobic device in my neck. As a result I lost an additional two discs from this artificial Cervical disc. DO NOT GET the Mobic artificial disc of any kind. You will regret it. Dr. Korsh did two spine procedures in 6 weeks. One to fix my neck which will alway hurt to some degree but is very stable now. I was losing the feeling in my hands and arms prior to this mans skilled hands repairing my Cervical spine. The second procedure was yet another clean up from a well known Hospital in SD.... it may rhyme with Pre-scription. The doctor did a discectomy on me that should have been fused. So what happens? Dr. Eric Korsh cleaned/removed an absolutely destroyed disc in my lumbar spine. He fixed that as well. Dr. Korsh knows who I am and I am ready and willing to be a references any time. He literally saved my life, my quality of life. Don't go see him if you don't want the/can't handle direct truth and facts. He is a straight shooter and will not sugar coat anything. Thank you so much Dr. Korsh and Staff! read more

This physician is unfocused and cost me an unbelievable amount of time and resources -- and lack of care --- due to his incompetence which i am physically suffering . He was part of medical team with a clear-cut path forward and changed his mind because of his own lack of follow-up and attention to detail. He is entirely focused on the money and made it clear that he cared more about the potential monetary value of a lawsuit over patient care. He is greedy and incompetent. He clearly did not care about me as a patient. In the meantime he made numerous mistakes and did not review charts or MRI results. I had to provide them on my iPhone to him. He asked if I got an MRI and if so from where. I reminded him that He ordered them and he ordered them from a specific facility. The results had been ready for a couple of weeks forgot he had ordered them. There are multiple mistakes like this one. I will be submitting a complaint to the medical board. read more

It is February 2023 and it is almost nine years since I had the surgery that crippled me. I am still crippled today. I remember when it first happened Dr. Korsh asked me if I would like to have a follow up surgery to see if it would correct any of the paralysis from the first surgery. Obviously, I said no thank you (I certainly didn't want him finishing me off). I have only had very minor improvements since my initial surgery. For instance, it made me take me a day to recover where it took me several days to recover before. When I say recover, I'm just referring to using my body. Going somewhere, a stressful situation, a very happy situation, it doesn't matter what it is, if it it goes through my nervous system it takes me out. I can do lots of things for very short periods of time. Seconds or minutes even. Then I have to rest and recover. He has still never taken any responsibility, not even so much as an I'm sorry. I would like to ward everyone away from this butcher. He crippled me for life. For the record, I'm not able to type anymore so this is dictated. read more

I highly recommend DR KORSCH he was instrumental in helping me and earning confidence and explaining every step needed to correct my back problems. I have the ultimate respect in his professional manner and his honest way of truly understanding and the way he communicates to feel safe and secure! Dr Korsch staff is outstanding and know their business of making you aware and educated on what the best approach needed so you as a patient can be at ease knowing he has your best interest care for! I trust him and thank him and entire staff for a job ;WELL DONE; read more

First of all, despite the unpleasant reviews I myself have seen first hand an amazing and respectful doctor. I can't even imagine what terrible experience others have encountered, that is impossible. Dr. Korsh's staff is amazing, especially his staff member Fiona she is a great asset. Dr. Korsh cares about his patients and he always assure you get not just the best but top notch care. He is very professional and very understanding. So to the unsatisfied customers, I'm sorry but you missed out on an opportunity of great care. read more

Dr. Korsh is arrogant, disrespectful and lacks empathy and professionalism. First and only encounter with him but it was horrible. Not impressed with all the awards and certificates on the wall. read more

I met Dr. Korsh for a consultation to address my debilitating neck pain. The pain was so bad, it was interfering in my ability to perform my job duties as a Probation Officer. Upon arriving at the appointment, I was greeted by friendly and helpful support staff. When Dr. Korsh entered the room, I immediately felt at ease. He truly has a genuine care and concern for his patients. Together we discussed all my treatment options. He was thorough in explaining the pros and cons; which allowed me to make an informed decision on what was best for me. I opted for surgery. It was a success and undoubtedly the best decision and experience. I returned back to work on full duty status. Dr. Korsh gave me my life and career back. I currently play Pickleball and I'm training to compete in the upcoming Nationals this year. Thank you Dr. Korsh for not just being an amazing doctor but for also being a wonderful human being who truly cares about his work and patients well being. read more

Dr. Korsh provided exceptional care throughout the duration of my visits. I loved going into the office & seeing that everyone was smiling. I had been going to a chiropractor, physical therapy, & getting massages due to an accident. My pain really started to ease once I was under Dr. Korsh's care. He's always on time (which I appreciate & always notice) & answers any questions I have with sincerity & honesty. I'd recommend anyone I know to Dr. Korsh without reservation! read more

I continue to be amazed by Dr. Korsh's work 2 and a half months after he operated on my spine. After running 10 Boston marathons in a row, my life style was changed instantly when I slipped getting off a train in LA. I ruptured a disc at L4-5. I could not stand up straight and was in so much pain I had to walk with crutches taking one step at a time. My GP referred me for an MRI. The facility could not fit me in the tube because I could not straighten my body. I knew of Dr. Korsh from his reputation in the med/legal community. I was out of work for a month by the time my wife pushed me into his office in a wheelchair. His office manager Selene immediately got me an appointment at an MRI facility in UTC with a larger tube. By the time I had the MRI, I was losing feeling in my left foot. Dr. Korsh's office fought with my insurance company to get my surgery approved immediately. Dr. Korsh performed a laminotomy and discectomy two days after Easter. When I woke up in the recovery room, Dr. Korsh's PA Mitch asked if I wanted to try standing up. I did and it was amazing. The pain was gone and I walked out of the surgical center with no crutches. Three hours later I was at a pizza party with some friends. Before the surgery, I was on a bunch of pain killers, muscle relaxants, two rounds of steroid therapy, Valium, CBD, and anything else that would help the pain. After the surgery, I did not even take an aspirin. I am now back to running and have a whole new appreciation for people with chronic pain. Thank you Dr. Korsh, Selene, Mitch, Tristan, and the whole crew for doing what you do so well. read more

Dr. Korsh is great I would absolutely recommend him! I have alot of back pain due to years of being in the military, he has been able to resolve alot of the pain without surgical intervention by ways of physical therapy and anti inflamatory medication regiments. read more

Dr Korsh may treat his regular patients with kindness, but when it comes to the Workers Comp patients he is totally mean and nasty and says they can go back to work even though the MRI shows a tear in the neck and bulging disks. My daughters workers comp benefits are being stopped because he claims she can go back to the work place for modified duty. She was an EMT and she studied hard because she loved the job. She cannot drive long distances because of the severe pain she suffers. The work place is a 90 mile round trip and going there would be more of a hardship. Now she has no money coming in. She cannot pay rent or utilities, etc. She has called all agencies reaching out for help with no luck. She is going to be evicted from her apartment. As a mother living in Ohio I am worried sick. An appeal has been made to Dr Korsh but he is ignoring it. My daughters attorney is no help because he and his office are friends with Dr Korsh. This has been nothing but one big nightmare. Where does anyone turn when their own attorney is not a go getter and friends with the doc? read more

Please do your research before receiving orthopedic treatment with Dr. Korsh! My encounters w/ this doctor have been very negative and unpleasant. I have a bulging disk, back problems and have been suffering from sciatica nerve pain due to an incident at work. If you have a worker's comp. case, it is not the place to go for medical treatment! This dr. is not attentive to your medical needs, he just wants to prescribe medication for pharmaceutical benefits. In all my appts. he never made a thorough evaluation, he stated "You do not have a broken back!" so another words stop complaining and get to work!!! Eventhough, my MRI reflected issues with my back, he decided to remove all my work modifications/restrictions and since, pain level has increased and back has worsen. Dr. Korsh was also very inconsistent with his own medical recommendations and stated one thing and did not follow through. I had problems receiving physical therapy because of his disorganization skills and not following through. I honestly feel this doctor is also prejudice with certain group of individuals, if you do not fit/meet his profile, you will be treated very nasty and he will humiliate you if you start questioning him, because he is the "spine specialist" (very disrespectful). I thank GOD, I started to be treated by another orthopedic doctor. I will NOT Trust Dr. Korsh with my spine! Please do your research, take reviews seriously and even ask people and make connections if you being consulted by him. If workers' compensation case, go seek another doctor, you have every right to do, you do not need to be stuck with him. Dr. Korsh might have gained many accomplishments and recognitions, but definitively he is missing the most important one, treating people with respect, dignity, kindness and care!!! I always felt negative vibes when I entered his consultation! One positive thing I could say, is the front desk clerks, they are very polite, sweet and caring young ladies who are very attentive and positive; definitively something Dr. Korsh lacks and needs to learn from!!! Dr. Korsh please go back to school to earn your "Kindness and People Skills" Certification... I was just a victim and witness of an INCOMPETENT Doctor! Please do your research and have hope that there is still good doctors out there!!! read more

I had severe back pain, I had been told by Another doctor that I needed spine surgery. I asked for a second opinion with another Doc and they sent me to Dr. Korsh . He did recommend surgery also but only a one level and not a 3 level and I have been pain free for 6 months! I was so happy that I made him my new primary doc! read more

I had to wait at times, but it is outweighed by the care, individual attention and genuine understanding that is given to each and every person that I've seen Dr. Kupfer care for. I don't mind waiting knowing that he's giving everyone the time that they need to receive excellent care by him and his staff, from the moment you walk in the door. They are all great at what they do and the professionalism is outstanding. Dr. Kupfer and his staff are the best. If you want to get drive thru service, go somewhere else, if you want actual care for your condition, you can't find a better group of people. They all should be commended for their handling of so many people with excellent care and service. Thank you all for what you do! read more
