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.

Caring and thorough
Dr. Korn goes above and beyond in ensuring his patients succeed following surgery. We are very grateful for his commitment and kindness!

Don't trust or go to Dr. Korn since I had my gastric bypass in 2005 with him, I have had 12 surgery's and 5 times almost died..In medical debt, almost an addict to pain killers but I'm not by the Grace of God! He doesn't talk or let's you know about longevity health.. When you run into problems which you will, He will cut you as no longer his patient when you need him the most and he will send you to Utah if you have any problems even though you have trusted him for years with your life..He is two- faced! This Surgery with Him has Ruined my life, don't let him Deceive you..Do research, get trainer, eat healthier, even find someone else like Dr.Brown to do sleeve surgery if your going to do it and btw do it after having your kids, again something korn didn't tell me which caused me problems but praise God my kids were Healthy. Whatever you do Don't TRUST THIS MAN! Beware and maybe I saved a life by reviewing at least, I hope! Sincerely almost 20 year veteran of gastric bypass ex-patient of Dr.Korns. Praise God I'm Alive..

My husband was a patient of Doctor Korn's. He literally saved my husband's life. In 2019 my husband went in at over 400 pounds. Following every guideline & being very disciplined he now weighs around 195. I would highly recommend Dr. Korn. And if you see this Dr. Korn THANK YOU! God Bless you & your work.

I am now one year out from my bariatric sleeve surgery. Wow! A complete life changer. I feel great and look good too. Dr. Korn and his nursing staff and his office staff have been wonderful. They managed to take very good care of me in spite of the Covid conditions in our community. I highly recommend bariatric surgery and Dr Korn. (PS...get your covid vaccine please!)

Obviously he doesn't care about his patients. I scheduled 2 different appointments and both times at the last minute they were cancelled. I would not recommend this doctor and have decided not go to him.

Dr Korn is wonderful! I had my pre-op visit with him today and I couldn’t be happier with how it went. He’s very friendly and has a lot of experience. He’s confident in his work and that put me at ease. He has a very warm and welcoming way about him and I’m so happy I chose him to be my surgeon.

Dr. Korn and his staff are all simply amazing. I was very ill and in the hospital for a couple of months and Dr. Korn took the best care of me and since leaving the hospital my follow up care with Dr. Korn and his staff has been beyond what I could have asked for. If you ever need surgery I highly recommend Dr. Korn as the best dr I’ve ever had.

Dr. Korn did a fantastic job with my Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and with a complication I experienced two weeks later. I trust him completely.

Communicates in detail. Has since if humor. Shows empathy and caring for others. Has a welcoming personality. Does not try to overwhelm with big medical words. When he has to use them, he explains in detail.
