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.

He did “corrective surgery” upper and lower eyelid surgery after radiation treatment. He said I would be happy with the results but my left eye doesn’t open well. When I told him I was unhappy with the results he said “but you’re still alive!? Totally dissatisfied with these results.

Dr. Korn is very personable and did a good job on upper blepharoplasty. Lower blepharoplasty looks terrible. I now have an unnatural crease in my lower eye area when I smile. I have gone back to him twice, and he states there is nothing he can do, and shows me a photo of someone who had skin removed from lower eye area, and now cannot close their eyes. I will have to go to other specialists and see if there is anything they can do. So sorry I got lower bleph done .... I look worse than before ... and never would have done it, had I known this would be the result.

I presented on it about 6/25/19 with orbital fractures incurred 6/18/19. My first appointment with Dr Korn, he was an hour and a half late. I feel he rushed through the appointment , did not touch my fractured orbit and simply said “your eye has sunk into the fracture if your vision changes see me otherwise see you in six weeks” my vision worsened. I made an appointment as instructed At this appointment, Dr Korn said “ if you have vision issues, see an Optometrist” really? With a second opinion now, it seems my vision issues are due to the fractures and impediment of the ocular muscles. I may need surgery. Dr Korn was not helpful in any way toward healing and improvement, in fact he seemed overbooked and ready to push clients through Not pleased with DrBobbi Korn
