I was a patient of Dr. Korik for about two months. I had been diagnosed by another doctor as having chronic prostatitis. I was recommended antibiotics and other medication, but these did not really help me. Unlike the others, Dr. Korik introduced me to prostatic massage and seminal vesicle massage, which really helped a lot. After two months of treatment, I feel better, the pain is gone, and my sexual performance has greatly improved. I am very thankful to Dr. Korik and I would recommend him to all of my friends. I also want to say that "Actions speak louder than words," and in my case it showed!

Sincerely, I.M.

I have been a patient of Dr. Korik for three years now, and I have received more caring and understanding, and most importantly, factual up-to-date information regarding my condition than at any other time in the 15 years I have suffered with this condition. Previous physicians have had little to offer me other than antibiotics and a grim forecast.

Dr. Korik's methods have improved my symptoms dramatically, while depending little on antibiotics or other medication.

Before I came to see Dr. Korik, I spent a lot of time searching the Internet for physicians that dealt with prostatitis. I used many different search engines, and I even tried several doctors and their regimens of antibiotics. After some time, I came to the conclusion that there was no effective treatment for prostatitis.

It was then that I came across Dr. Korik's website and after reading through his approach to prostatitis and the different ways that he has to treat it, I called to arrange an appointment. Dr. Korik, after my first visit with him, gave me relief from pain that I thought I would have to live with for the rest of my life.

I was treated in your office for prostatitis and vesiculitis. Before coming to your office, I saw five different urologists who did not help me. I am very happy with your treatment of these conditions. I think you are an expert in this field. Thank you for your knowledge.

I had pain in the area between the anus and the scrotum and pain in the lower back area. I was diagnosed with non-bacterial prostatitis and was then put on a variety of antibiotics, cardura, anti-fungals by three different doctors, two of which were genito-urologists. All of this over a seven to eight month period. None of which helped me, except temporarily, but once the medication stopped, my symptoms always returned. Also, none of the doctors would perform a prostate massage.

Finally I went to see Dr. Korik out of desperation, hearing that he specialized in the treatment of symptoms and he believed in the use of prostate massage. Dr. Korik put me on Hytrin and set me up with prostate massages twice a week.

Within two weeks I was seeing a major change in my symptoms for the better. By the fourth week, my symptoms had completely gone away, I stopped taking Hytrin, and I have been symptom and pain free ever since.

Thanks Dr. Korik.

I am writing to you in order to pass along some very positive results I've gotten from being treated by Dr. Grigory Korik of Brooklyn, New York.

Prior to learning of Dr. Korik from your (The Prostatitis Foundation) website, I have been seen by six different urologists and a host of other doctors in varying fields seeking relief from my three year bout with prostatitis, all in vain. Dr. Korik prescribed a series of ten sessions of prostatic drainage, twice a week for five weeks, along with a single antibiotic. Relief was almost immediate, and after the ten sessions the pain and discomfort was reduced significantly.

Dr. Korik's next step was to prescribe a low dosage of Hytrin, and now after two months of this treatment, my symptoms are virtually non-existent, with only very sporadic flare ups which when compared to my prior discomfort, are minor.

Dr. Korik's procedures coincide with information reported in your newsletters, but according to Dr. Korik, drainage is useless unless done correctly. I emphatically recommend Dr. Korik to prostatitis sufferers as he is both knowledgeable of the ailment and understanding of the patient.

Sincerely, S.H.

I am writing to express my appreciation for the beneficial results I have received as a result of your treatments.

When I first came to your office one year ago, I suffered greatly from chronic prostatitis. I had first been diagnosed with this disease more than twenty years ago, when I was twenty-five years old. I had been treated by several different urologists, all of whom were affiliated with reputable teaching hospitals in Manhattan. Years of treatment with a variety of antibiotics proved fruitless, as I suffered great pain.

For nearly five years before visiting you, I was also treated by a rheumatologist who prescribed a variety of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, prednisone and eventually two different immune system suppressants. Although I obtained some relief, it was not lasting and I began suffering severe side effects as a result of the medications.

Your treatments which included prostatic massage, diet changes and exercise have resulted in a year free from pain. I am now no longer taking any of the medications, which had produced the troubling gastrointestinal side effects.

I greatly appreciate the health benefits I have received as a result of your treatments. I am currently feeling better than I have in the past twenty-two years.

Yours truly, E.M.
