Patient Reviews
Apr 12, 2023
Dr. Karlin did my spinal fusion at children’s hospital when I was 12. I am now 28 and still can’t thank this man enough for giving me a normal life. I had extreme scoliosis in my upper and lower spine. My family and I will forever think of him and be grateful to him and his team
