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 am very grateful to Dr. Korn and his team for my successful cataract surgery last 3/12/2025. The wonderful staff from Joy and Jordan, the receptionists to the people at the preoperative room, Eli, Karen, the O.R. nurses, Meryl and Karen and the PACU nurse, Irene to Dr. Korn, everyone made my experience awesome and hassle-free. Everyone did his/her part and knew what he/she was doing. Everyone made me comfortable and at ease before, during and after the surgery.

Dr Korn Is An Amazing Opthamologist.
Not only is Dr Korn a skillful Ophthalmologist, he is very personable and makes you feel like you’re part of his family. He did a great job on my cataract and recently removed the second cataract from my wife’s eye. In all cases we’ve had very positive results. Our vision is greatly improved.Thank You Dr Korn!

Deserves more than 5 stars
I had been seen in the ER and the team referred me to Dr. Korn for my emergency. He deserves more than 5 stars and is the definition of the Sharp Experience. He explained everything in detail about my situation as I felt overwhelmed and scared I may have permit damage to my sight. My situation was handled with such amazing care. He also extended after care with the on call team over this holiday weekend. Dr. Korn’s assistant was amazing as well! Im so grateful for having Dr. Korn cover my emergency. I can’t express how thankful I am. Thank you Dr. Korn and Dr. Phillips (Sharp Grossmont ER) for taking care of me.

I just had the second of two cataract surgeries by Dr Korn. He is amazing and I am thrilled with the results! Dr Korn is a wonderful communicator and gives his full attention at appointments to concerns and questions. He is very personable and humorous and put me very at ease. His assistants are wonderful. I will certainly be recommending him to friends!

He is by far one of the best doctors around, not only does Dr. Korn have great communications skills, he is personable and caring toward his patients. Dr. Korn, thank you again the second surgery you performed on my father. I am very pleased with your procedure, how you explain everything to us and most importantly, how you are using technology to keep your patients up-to-date with the process. I highly recommend Dr. Korn for cataract procedures, you will be very pleased.

Omg.... I just had a FaceTime visit with Dr. Korn and it was fantastic! I was able to have my first visit in the comfort of my own home and having that one to one attention was great. I wish all MD appts were thru FaceTime. Dr. Korn was fantastic....down to earth... extremely knowledgeable and forward thinking and he made me feel very positive and confident that I found the right Opthalmologist!
