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.

Dr. Koerth has been my doctor for several years and he is the best doctor I have ever had. Easy to talk to, explains your condition, great bedside manor. He comes to the hospital every day to see patients. He has come at 8:00 pm to make sure I was getting what I needed for my condition. Best doctor you can find. My husband thinks so too. His office staff is great to. Wendy is knowledgeable and so friendly. His nurses are great too. Thank you Dr. Koerth and staff.

For the most part visits to this clinic are good. The problem is when you try to talk to them on the phone. It is next to impossible. Asking for a return call is fruitless. Very frustrating.

Dr. Koerth has been both my parents doctor for many years. Unfortunately I live in Dallas but on occasion get to take them to their doctors visit. I am so amazed at his bed side manners and how he cares for them and how he exceeds all our concerns. I could go on and on, bottom line it is hard to find a doctor that actually see you as a patient instead of dollar signs when you walk through the door. Thank you Dr. Koerth and your amazing staff for all you do!!!

He is the best doctor around this area. I am blessed to have him as my PCP. He is very thorough and knowledgeable about latest medical information. From the front desk, to the lab techs and nurses, he is the best!

If Dr Koerth is going to oversee abd be listed as t he doctor for nursing homes he should take care of that end. My mother was under his care and when discharged he refused to sign the order for home health she needed after suffering a stroke. Her GP had to see her so she was delayed care for several days.
