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.

Insurance over Patient
If you’re looking for a doctor that makes spare cash on the side working for insurance companies by denying claims to help fill the pockets of insurance companies, then Dr. Korniyenko is your guy. Never had a single conversion for form an actual medical opinion of my wife but it doesn’t matter. Insurance company wins. Find a doctor who cares about people. There are still some out there that chose to heal rather than shill for corporations.

Excellent Dr.
I was looking for a cardiologist because I was dissatisfied with the one I had been using. My primary care physician recommended Dr K. And it was the best decision of my life. I have not regretted it for an instant. He assessed my symptoms and fixed the problem. I've had a couple of small setbacks but they have been taken care of. I would not use anyone else

Late
Dr K cannot be on time for your appointment. Go ahead and show up 30 minutes late, because you won't be seen at least until then. And it's strange, because he appears to only want to spend 15 seconds with you, so you would think he could be on time.

Bill Warren
February 2022 had 2 episodes a day apart where I passed out and was taken by Ambulance to U T Health Athens on the 1st episode and then U T Health Tyler. Diagnosed with Pneumonia at Athens Hospital on Feb.13. Went to Direct Care on Feb. 14 Diagnosed with Covid, but it attacked my stomach and not my lungs. Buy Ambulance on Feb.15 to UT Health Tyler. All types of tests ran with no confirmed reports of anything unusual. Released from Hospital and was scheduled for Cardiologist. Long story short, my wife and I met with Dr. K at the Appt. and were very impressed with the time he spent putting us at ease and answering questions. A PA friend at church that I talked with said Dr. K. is one of the top Cardiologist in his field. My friend works for a different hospital but he knows the expertise Dr. K. and his staff have. Dr. K. took me off BP meds I had taken far 20 yrs. BP stays around 120/70 .

He is a excellent doctor. Very friendly.
After Covid more heart problems but Dr. Korniyenko is very concerned and trying to get me well. Most of all trying to keep me from having to go to ER so much. So far everything he has done has helped. I am thankful he comes to our small town to helped people with heart problems.

Very easy to recommend this physician and clinic.
Dr. K is not only a great physician but a wonderful person as well. He makes you feel as you are the only concern he has and is very focused on you and your issues rather than trying to rush you through an appointment . I would have to say truly that is the same experience I have had with other staff in the practice which is really comforting when your feel like you are in or have been through a life altering crisis.

Dr. "K"
I was referred by my internist , Dr. Jack Smith, for what I considered to be potentially a serious medical issue. When Dr. "K" entered the room I was immediately relieved. He has that "special" something that put me at ease . I came prepared with difficult questions for him and he had excellent answers. Being an older patient I wanted straight talk and I got it. My Wife and I are thrilled to have him on MY team. Thanks Doc!!!

Dr. K is very informative and takes his time with you, he makes you feel very at ease with all that is going on around you too, he explains everything that is being done too. My husband and I are both his patients, and we are both very pleased,I wouldn't trust anyone else but him. The staff is always supportive as well, you might have to wait a little while in the waiting room, but I promise it's worth it..
