    Dr korf humiliated my wife and shared personal information given by myself. Her husband, to him during a physical. He embarrassed her in front of the whole office with the room door open. Now she is having ptsd from it. My wife is the nicest person and whatever we are going through certainly isn't her fault. She is a giving person with no problems with her memory. Dr korf should be reprimanded for this hippa violation and we are changing doctors because of this... THIS WAS A BLATANT HIPPA VIOLATION... CHECK MY OPTUM MESSAGES AS DR KORF ADMITTED IT IN THE NOTES ..

    This is Michael Atiga, like I stated in my first comment at the beginning of this recommendation. I like his bedside manners. He explains medications, and various things that are concerning to me. Even in the limited time we have had during my appointment. Unlike, my previous Dr. who is very knowledgeable, but doesn't seem to say much. I hope all is well with him. And hopefully he returns. I think I like Dr. Korff better.

    He is very knowledgeable. He knows his stuff so that's a positive, but he has a gatling gun approach so he goes over information very quickly and I prefer taking a little more time to assimilate what I'm being told. So if he asked me, is there anything I can go over more for you? or something like that, it would help me. Otherwise, I feel like I'm wasting his time and don't want to ask for more time. All in all, I would recommend him to anyone.
