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.

Great physician - one of the best
I have been under Dr Korula’s care since 2008 and he has taken care of not only me but also my spouse and siblings and others I have referred. He is very skilled, does not rush through appointments, listens to you and offers excellent suggestions. I have to thank him for saving my life from a serious medical condition.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Korula?
My wife was recomded to see Dr, korula for chronic low levels of Hb (harmoglobin) she had seen the best GI guys in DC and Ca. And had all tests done including upper and lower GI with biopsies. No body could diagnose what was the cause, Dr Korula nailed the diagnosis on the first visit and treated her for three weeks now it’s two years and maintains a normal Hb. He is the best diagnostician I have seen

Dr. Korula is the rudest, arrogant doctor. I would not recommend him. His staff is the same.
