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.

I was referred to Dr. Korc in 2017. Since that time I have seen Dr. Korc numerous times and have ALWAYS had the utmost confidence in his abilities. His manner continues to be polite, caring, and educational. I would highly recommend Dr. Korc.

Dr. Korc was very thorough and straightforward. He performed two ERCP. One to locate a possible leak in my pancreas (which he did find) and the other to remove the stent that he placed to help heal the hole found. First impression is very important as I’ve gone through a lot in 2020 with many other GI doctors. He was so comforting and assured me that I was in good hands. He explained what he was going to do as well as any possibilities of minor setbacks but that he would take his time during my procedure to minimize that chance. I can tell he looked over my chart for a while by the conversation we were having. He knew how afraid and traumatized I was from my previous ERCP done by another doctor. Fast forward to a week later from my last ERCP with him, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a call from the doctor himself to check in on me. I appreciate everything he has done for me. Trust me when I say he is a great GI doctor!
