Not sure what to say?

In 2006 Dr Lorich invented the patella/tendon surgery for my daughter when she fell on the ice and shattered her knee cap. I begged him not to do a knee replacement at her age. So he went in and found a way to save her knee. I babysat his daughter in the waiting room while he worked on mine as it was during a terrible storm and he had to bring her to work. Lovely child.

I think about Dr Lorich and am so sad he's no longer with us. So many of us owe our lives to his spectacular care. Thank you. Dr Laura Popper

Rest In Eternal Peace Dr. Lorich

When I was 15 years old my dad had a terrible motor cycle accident and Dr.Lorich was the surgeon who saved my dads leg! My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

I greatly admired his work as a humanitarian. He was one of the surgeons who...

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I think about Dr Lorich every day because his skilled hands and brain fixed my broken arms and knee so that I could continue practicing medicine and living my best life.
I proudly show my elegant scars and tell people about Dr Lorich’s medical magic.

I will never forget how you mé Ed my broken shoulder. I am able to play both the piano and the harp without any difficulty. For your work, I am eternally grateful.
