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.

Run for the hills!
I was with my best friend to support him at his recent diagnosis of metastatic lung cancer. My friend is African American, and Korkmaz, didn't bother to really explain the chemotherapy and toxic effects of the therapy. He also talked down to him in a negative way because he was black and didn't bother to go in-depth for his terminal cancer. We brought up another doctor that we wanted to take him to that utilizes holistic remedies, he begins to bad mouth the doctor and talk negatively about her.This is not a good doctor. Run from him.

WARNING DANGER, WIIL NOT TREAT YOU LIKE A HUMAN.
The worst Person that is to be Called a Doctor but many other bad names. Very unwilling to assist a Patient in dire need of health care. He is all about himself and really doesn’t care about his job, fellow employees, hospital and much more. He is collecting a large pay check with no real care to treat anyone like a human being. Does not and will not answer any questions about the side effects he has created by his actual treatment he has performed on you. Later to find out, I could have been treated by a real Doctor with ethics and now would not have side effects for the rest of my life. Will ignore you and provide a used car salesman response that leads to no help or answer. Very angry and there are many complaints about him online including in this website. He to be fired or he needs to walk away. Read all review before letting him touch you. ONE HORRIBLE DOLT OF A HUMAN AND CANT GIVE HIM A TITLE OTHER SOMETHING WITH A CURSE WORD BAD NE. Very angry.

My mother recited radiation and chemo at this hospital. Our final visit was when he told us he would not do anything for the breast cancer because it would affect his doctor score if she died. Anyone in the medical field knows if you don’t know what you are doing you refer out. He kept her knowing her conditions were killing her. I’m thankful that I saw just how little he cared that day. I got her out to CTCA In Zion Il and now she is alive and well no thanks to him. If she had stayed she would have died. Please if you have concerns go get a second opinion.he clearly did not care about my mom and I would never put anyone through what he did to us.

I would not recommend him to anyone. I kept telling him there was something wrong with my breast after being treated for triple negative breast cancer. For 4 months I told him and in all that time he would not even run a test or do an MRI. I finally got my plastic surgeon to operate on it and it was a 4cm tumor. The last time I saw dr korkmaz he told me cancer did not hurt. I beg to differ with him. I have not undergone 6 months of chemo had surgery and may need radiation.
