The reviews listed below were collected independently of Barrow Brain and Spine through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.

He and his staff are very thorough. We couldn't get the telemed technology to work, so I could only speak to him on the phone. We are reconnecting in person in early November.

I was very impressed with Dr. Karkala and the whole team. I kind of had an idea what would be discussed and the surgical procedure, just not to the extent of what will be done.
