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.

The most impressed I have been with a Dr.
Dr. Korb made me feel like I was her favorite patient. She came into the room well acquainted with my chart and took her time explaining.. even drawing a diagram.. so that I understood exactly what was happening. I would recommend her highly to anyone.

Dr. Korb is my surgeon and performed a serious surgery involving cancer early last year. This year she did a minor surgery. She is very knowledgeable and caring about her patients. Wouldn't trade her for anything.

Amazing!
Doctor Korb saved my husband’s life and continued to be available even after being discharged from her care. She did not give care based on office hours but based on patient needs. We will be forever grateful that she was on call when my husband was admitted.

Doctor Korb performed my lung biopsy surgery. I am very delighted by the entire experience from my pre-op visit to post operative care and her followup. She took extra time in explaining the procedures and expectations after the surgery. She also efficiently addressed to my questions and concerns and gave me satisfactory explanations. Her staff is also very courteous and efficient. Honestly speaking this was my very first doctor who saw me few minutes earlier than the scheduled time on each visits. I would recommend Dr Korb if you want to be treated with excellence both professionally and courteously. Since there is a maximum of five star so I am grading Dr Korb only five a star. I think she truly deserves above and beyond a five star review.
