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.

Great with my kids! Very knowledgeable.

Excellent Care
I have been treated by Dr. Korver many times over the years. While he does not sugar-coat difficult things, I know that he is really looking out for my health and is an incredibly competent surgeon. He cares for his patients ENT problems and also tries his best to be transparent financially and make the best recommendations on an individual level. I wouldn’t go to anyone else.

Excellent with my grandkids!
2 of my grandkids have had tubes placed in the last year. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The Dr was very patient with the kids, showing them the scope before looking in their ears. We were able to get the surgery in a timely way as one of the kids was really hurting. Thank you Dr Korver and Staff!

During an uncomfortable procedure he told me to stop being sensitive. No bedside manner. Did not answer my questions and didn’t explain my conditions. Will never return.

First of all, he has absolutely terrible bed side manner with children. He didn't even attempt to try and warm up to my 1 year old son before checking his ears and prodding and poking. And then he proceeded to tell my son that what he was doing wasn't hurting him. How does he know? The doc doesn't know what hurts his ears and what doesn't. I had never seen my son scream the way he did with Dr Korver! Not even for his shots! This man is awful and I will tell anyone and everyone that he is!
