Michael Koriwchak, MD

I was a young girl, directly out of college who relied on her voice as a career. I was having some vocal issues, so I was referred to Dr. Koriwchak’s office. He did an exam and determined I had a small cyst on my vocal cord. We scheduled the surgery and when he was in there it revealed two tiny nodules instead of one small cyst. He removed them and I was onto recovery! Fast forward 14 years and I have my first ever bout of laryngitis. I went to an otolaryngologist in San Francisco for a vocal check since I was not recovering as fast as I hoped. The doctor said she never would have known I had surgery on my vocal cords. There was no scar tissue and no sign of a scar at all! She was very impressed. I owe my career and my sanity to Dr. Koriwchak. My life would have taken a completely different path if it were not for him. I am forever grateful.

Dr. Koriwchak performed my total thyroidectomy two years ago. I cannot say enough positive things about him or his staff. They put me at my ease, made me very comfortable in preparation for my surgery, and were informative and willing to answer lots of questions in a friendly and patient manner. My recovery after surgery was incredibly smooth, and my scar is almost invisible. Even within a few months of surgery, it was only noticeable to those who knew to look for it. When my biopsy was completed, and I got the diagnosis of cancer, Dr. Koriwchak somehow managed to present the news to me in a way that left me calm, accepting, and able to face the coming (successful) treatment. You cannot place yourself in better hands than these.
