Dr. Peter Austin Koretsky, MD

Dr. Koretsky was very thorough and I didn’t feel rushed. He answered all my questions and listened to all my concerns. He is very polite, I would recommend Dr. Koretsky to anyone that needs a GI doctor. Also, his office staff were very helpful and friendly.

Great Doctor and Staff Explained his decisions and concerns. Provided steps towards improvement. Included another Doctor opinion to determine next step. Great bedside manners. Good sense of humor to break tension. Lucky to have him

I find Dr Koretsky and his staff professional, pleasant and efficient. Dr. Koretsky is brilliant in my opinion; he always answers my medical questions to whatever degree and detail I'm interested in knowing about.

Dr. Koretsky provides a level of personal care you won't see in too many Dr's offices. He gets to know his patients and is always available to answer any questions they may have. I am very happy to have found him, and would not think of going elsewhere.

Horrible office and follow up. I had questions about my procedure and they never answered them. Never see the doctor until he does the procedure.

I had a doctor’s visit with Dr. Peter Koretsky for a colonoscopy consultation. The Dr. was extremely professional and very personable. After 5 minutes talking with him,I knew I made the right choice,he knows his stuff. His staff,all of them,especially Lynn couldn’t have been more helpful and professional. He took my insurance and his staff took care of everything. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Peter Koretsky to anyone needing a great GI doctor

Dr Koretsky and staff are terrific; the doctor has been treating my ulcerative colitis for 5 years now; he and his staff are always knowledgeable, considerate, friendly, and most of all, they listen to me; and to me, that is so very important.

I've been treated by Dr Koretsky since 1997. He is very professional and will take the time to answer and discuss any concerns. I have had several endoscopies and colonoscopies with him and he will take the time to review all the results carefully. Very polite and understanding. Long wait because of the time spent with each patient.

So, prior to leaving a comment, I wanted to review any prior statements from other patients. WOW, my problem with the office staff, or should I say Dawn, The office staff from our previous experience was ok, not awesome, but adequate, and the Dr was great. Dawn seems to be either new, or hired by a friend in the office, that she is or just so specifically Gumpesque, that to speak of her in that context would be a compliment. After logically trying to explain a simple problem on her part and offering her at least 4 times, she indicated that I was talking down to her. Sorry to hurt her feelings, however explaining to my 4 grand children how to tie their shoes took less time and comprehension level as is necessary. Dr Koretsky, I have owned, managed businesses that make a million dollars a week, developed Real Estate, and Properties my entire professional life. My success was based on a strong and superior staff that I paid well, and thought about building the business. Cogito Ergo Sum, "I think, therefore I Am." You might want to consider replacing some of your staff. We work for the love of the game, but we also work for money, even if you feel as I do that money is just a biproduct of doing my job well, you still must have pride in all that surrounds you. good luck...

Went to see Dr Koretsky for preventative maintenance colonoscopy. Staff was excellent in setting up procedure, office contact was appropriate with reminders 2 days prior. Procedure was accomplished with minimal discomfort, very understanding with my nervousness. Will schedule with him again in 10 years.

Jill was very rude! Treated me like a child! Didn't meet doctor, but, he looks like he should give it up!!

Have known Dr Koretsky for many years. He has a peculiar personality combined with a sense of humor. So some may take him wrong. But, the more important thing is he is a good physician. Experienced and knowledgeable. Always a positive experience for me.

How do you thank someone who has probably saved your life? If one is looking for excellence in medical care, you can't go wrong with this man. Dr. Koretsky, Sirena, Dawn and all the rest are wonderful people. When precision counts the most you can depend on this man and his staff. Thank You! David Pendley

How do you thank someone who has probably saved your life? If you're looking for excellence and precision in a doctor, you can't go wrong with this man. I can't say enough good things about him and his staff. If I could give him 10 stars I would! Thanks Dr. Koretsky, Sirena, Dawn, and everyone there. We're all really fortunate to have you here in Brevard.

He has a horrible bed side manners. Always made me feel like he didn’t believe me. Every time I’d go to him he would just blow me off never gave me answers except I don’t know. Never put me on meds. Did temporarily fix my ability to swallow temporary. Never did any biopsy. All he ever did was scope. Wound up many many times in the e.r after seeing him. Two times in the last year and half was admitted as was told I was lucky to be alive. His p a Sierena did more for me than she is the knowledgeable one. Treated and neglected like I was just part of a herd. Thank God I think I’ve found a real dr. Have lived in pain daily with him Not as much now I have faith in my new dr and she treats me like a human. Not to mention the thousands of $$ he put me in debt by always having to go to hospital.

Have been in this office for many years. The staff and Dr. Koretsky have always treated in a personal and professional manner. I will continue to be his patient.

Stay away from this practice, don't waist your time and money. Have had 4 office appointments, colonoscopy and endoscopy. The doctor only spent about 3 minutes with me after the procedure and basically informed me that I need to lose weight and drink less, which I agree I need to do but I was looking for a more detailed explanation of why I get severely bloated after meals. When you call office no one is ever available. I even had to wait 24 hrs for a return call to pay my bill!

I have been a long time patient of dr koretsky and I remember his wife, mary who I believe was running the practice quite a few years ago. it seems like since she has been gone this office has been turned upside down and is now a hot mess. one hand doesn't know what the other is doing which must be a lack of communication amongst his staff. everything from the walk in the door to checkout was painful and unsatisfying. I did speak with the office manager very briefly but I don't remember her name because I obviously chose to block it out. she has the personality of a toilet which is where this practice is headed

waste of time. waited for over 2 hours to be seen and the nurse spent less than 5 minutes with me which is unacceptable. I asked to speak with the office manager and she is about as educated as a three year old.

The wait time for each office visit has been over 1hr 15mins for which only his unprofessional and unsympathetic nurse practitioner Jill Polet will grace you with her impersonal presence. If you require an endoscopy, they want you to show up an hour prior to your scheduled procedure. You will wait for about 3hrs while everyone before you goes in after their 3hr wait. The Melbourne Surgery Center appears to schedule as many people as possible, and bust them out one after the other, no pun intended. Before my procedure I did get to speak with Dr. Koretsky, who was polite. Afterwards, he appeared to be more focused on doing the next procedure as he kept stepping away while telling me to make a follow up appointment with this nurse practitioner Polet. At the next appointment, I was disappointed to hear that something was not done during my endoscopy, although information given in my first visit would have prompted it to be done. When Polet asked if the Dr. went over that with me, I said no and gave the reason why. Although she was not there and probably is never there, she used the "In my years working with him, he has never happened." Well, she was not there and it happened and there are other review to show. Instead of listening, Jill Polet decided to argue and attempted to belittle me in regards to her advanced degree. At the end when I revisited that issue, she stated, "If you do this for 30yrs, you'd be this way too." It does not take a career to create a cantankerous person in a cozy office job. Perhaps it's time to retire if you can't treat people with respect. Listening: One of the fundamental parts of nursing; also a simple human task. You don't need a degree for that. Even us simple folk can do it. And because she did not like that someone confronted her, I received a letter to discontinue service, which saved me a phone call. I give 1 star for the entire experience. The MD, I'd give 2.
