Dr. Jeremy Eric Korman, MD

The office staff is polite and very nice. The billing department Veronica is rude and abrupt. She is unpolished on the phone seems to like to yell at you, even when you say ok and agree she will keep it up and continue to belittle you.

I have had nothing but great care from both the Dr. and his staff. I've read the reviews about his bedside manner and I have found him to be funny, personal and a great cheerleader for me. The staff is very caring and supportive.

amazing

Dr. Jeremy Korman is a top-notch bariatric surgeon. His training (Mt. Sinai, Wittgrove, Cedars-Sinai) is exemplary, and he is a superb technician. Unfortunately, gifted surgeons are not always gifted practitioners.Let me be clear: I was glad to have him do the clip & stitch, but Ive been sorely disappointed in his lack of ability to relate to patients as humans. During the course of my four years experience with Korman, not once has he addressed me by name or inquired after my being other than the cursory questions about my physical state. He hasnt asked any of the usual questions: How do you feel about your weight lossamount or rate? What sort of response have received from others in your life? Are you getting enough (any) emotional support? What can I do to help in this arena? Overall, Korman seems to be unable to connect to patients in any way beyond the technical. In addition, he has been fairly dismissive of my ongoing and growing concerns about insufficient weight loss… (less than 50% of excess weight in the first year), excessive hunger, and food intolerances. His proposed solution is to count calories and get more exercise. Not once has he suggested that perhaps he chose the wrong surgery (RNY proximal vs. RNY distal or BPD), or that there may be some sort of failure in the surgery (too large pouch, stoma failure, etc.). Ive had to rely on my own research and Practice Manager Bridgette Agees expertise to advance my case.I realize that many people want nothing more of their surgeon than a good technician. And certainly given the choice between a strong technician with a less than perfect bedside manner and the opposite, I too would pick and recommend the former. However, bariatric surgery is not gallbladder surgery, and the expertise of the surgeon must go beyond the simply technical.
