    Dr. Korff has a very good rapport with my father who is his patient. He knows what new medication is available that may be appropriate. Both he and Nurse Andrea provide kind, compassionate, excellent medical care.

    Dr. Korff is one of the smartest people on the planet. He combines empathy, care and knowledge to provide an excellent medical experience. Dr. Korff has been my doctor for 11 years since I moved to this area and I will drive miles to continue to see him. Also since Optum and Cigna are divorcing, all this means is more cost for me - but regardless, I only trust Dr. Korff. Colin Wolpert

    Very knowledgeable person who communicates well with his patients. Willing to expound upon his reasoning, for example changing my statin that I had been using for years. He puts you at ease.

    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 ..
