Patient Reviews
Jun 14, 2024
In late 2023 I underwent emergency surgery to relieve a compressed vertebra in my lower spine. Dr. Karkarla's surgical expertise, compassionate but professional patient interaction, and follow-ups encouraged my rehab and recovery. I now can walk a couple of miles a day without the 'electric' shooting pains to my back and legs that were so debilitating. As a retired medical professional, I appreciate his directness, candor and prognosis for lifestyle options. We are blessed to have this superb quality of neurosurgeon in the Phoenix area.
