One of the finest persons I have ever met in my life. A skilled surgeon kind, caring. Dr KarKari is what ever surgeon should aspire to be.

Dr. Karikari was recommended by my neuromuscular specialist at Duke. He and his team exceeded my expectations at every turn. I came to him with adult degenerative scoliosis and severely damaged L2-L5. My spine was so unstable I could barely hold my torso up. I had to use a walker. I was in unbearable pain. During the year plus it took me to titrate off of prednisone (I have myasthenia gravis) and gain over 15 lbs, Dr. Karikari was kind and encouraging.

Dr. KariKari and his team were able to give me pain relief after six years, 5 other doctors, and 1 surgery. He identified the root of my problem as adult onset scoliosis which affected my entire spine along with DDD and stenosis. After a 10 hour tri-level surgery (and a surprisingly tolerable recovery), I am pain free. I cannot say enough about Dr. K’s surgical skills and bedside manner. He is not only gifted, but caring and an outstanding surgeon. HIGHLY recommend.
