Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Karen Schorn
Dr Schorn has been my Psoriatic Arthritis specialist for many years. As possible side effects showed up with biologics I was taking she tried something else and thoroughly explained how the injections should work for me. After labs staff always called if any changes needed . She included my GP in my hometown with any bloodwork and changes in treatment. She is straightforward and direct in her approach and some seem to resent this but she is a caring and I dare say loving physician and does not dance around her medical decisions and diagnosis and she is brilliant! Her nurse is A#1….also direct in her approach! But also very thorough and calls back as soon as she can! All are professional and I feel they should not be mistaken for uncaring!

Sick & Tired
My doctor referred me to Dr. Schorn for RA. I had been diagnosed with RA by a different doctor a few years back which was based on an elevated RH factor and my symptoms. I was referred to Dr. Schorn because the other doctor was no longer there. Dr. Schorn took blood and she said that my blood work did not show that I had RA. She said that I was depressed and had fibromyalgia. When I explained that I had an elevated RH factor before so how is it possible that I do not have RA now? She argued with me and said that it was wrong. She gave me an antidepressant prescription and did not even schedule a follow up appointment. She told me to just call if I needed anything. It seemed like since my blood work did not show that I did not have RA that she did not want me as a patient. She has terrible bedside manner, and seems like she does not care or listen to her patients. I will never go back there.
