Dr. Harold J Kornylak, DO

Dr. Kornylak is a saint! He cured my chronic back pain of 15 years, I was diagnosed with multiple bulging and herniated discs in my L5 L6, and lost the ability to walk several times. To go to zero back pain is life-changing. In addition, I was in a very bad automobile accident, and couldn’t move my neck left, he also cured that. The best doctor I have had in my life!

Great professional. Outstanding human being. Dr Kornylak takes the time to actually listen to the patient , trying to find the cause of the problem and fixing it. He is truly devoted to his practice.

Meaningful healthcare amidst so much useless medical care My 84 year old Mother suffered a fall over 2 weeks ago. Of course we followed the standard course of injury care by seeking medical help and support for pain management. Each interaction leading to a hopeless useless option. We called our primary care doctor, urgent care, and finally we were sent to the emergency room for pain management so that an xray could successfully be done. Our follow up doctor appointment to assess my mom’s pain management was cancelled by her primary care MD. As an ICU registered nurse working in the neonatal ICU, I was stunned how useless my Mom’s medical providers and the options they offered could be. We were offered no real assessment or care for her pain management. Calling and follow up with providers, led to more pain and frustration; progress of recovery was looking bleak. A highly independent 84 year old, now reduced to being completely fearful of being alone in the house and unable to drive.… As Divine intervention would have it, I had the good guidance to seek out Dr. Kornylak. While considering the uninspiring medical options and the cascade of pain effects which were continuing to spiral out of control, I was uplifted when Dr. Kornylak answered his phone and scheduled an appointment for my Mom the same day. Our first treatment with Cranial Osteopathy has been with Dr. Kornylak. Not knowing extensively what to expect from our first session, my Mom experienced first-hand the real relief offered by the treatment. Dr Kornylak’s highly skilled treatment is applied over an hour or more as needed. He goes to great lengths to assess and compile the details related to his patient’s experience of their pain and discomfort. This in depth, and meaningful assessment translates to excellence in healthcare. Through listening to his patient’s experience and their description of it, Dr. Kornylak can offer a more effective treatment plan. it includes a multi-dimensional approach to recovery and healing. Since our first session with Dr. Kornylak, my Mom has experienced real progress that offers a solid foundation for my Mom’s further recovery and actual healing from her fall. Rather than the standard application of a shot of steroid and good luck on your way out the door approach. With so few options for meaningful and useful healthcare, it is truly a precious gift to have Dr. Kornylak in the Virginia Beach community and healthcare system.

Dr. Kornylak’s hands-on/osteopathic approach to treating muscular and joint problems has been a life changing experience for my personal health. After suffering with knee and back problems for over a year, I was blessed to learn of Dr. Kornylak and the value of osteopathic neuromuscular medicine. His unique hands-on approach resulted in immediate, significant, and sustained relief to the knee and back pain. In addition, his focus on the total health of his patients has increased the overall quality of my life, including relief from tinnitus/ringing in the ear, weight loss, stress management and relaxation. Anyone who suffers from joint, muscular, or other problems could benefit tremendously from Dr. Kornylak’s unique and caring approaches in treating his patients.

I am very grateful for Dr. Kornylak. Although I originally went to him for TMJ, for which felt immediate relief, I didn't expect to get help for my sore joints. I assumed I had arthritis and couldn't be helped unless I took pain medication. I feared I would hurt for the rest of my life. However, I am very happy to say that after a number of osteopathic treatments, I no longer have sore joints . . . and I never needed medication for the pain. However, when I came in with a tick-bite-related illness, he prescribed the appropriate antibiotic, and I recovered. I am very grateful. He's a very good doctor. In addition, I find him easy and safe to talk to. I highly recommend him and have sent family and friends to him.

I saw this doctor for over a year he was the most compassionate understanding and just all-around good doctor and person I've ever been to I highly recommend him

I finally, after years of feeling like a number or customer to a doctor, feel like I’ve found someone that actually cares. I can be myself and talk about my flaws while he helps me on my path to better myself. I feel very fortunate to have met him.

Dr. Kornylak is an amazing doctor, who listens and fixes ailments, not just symptoms.

I have had a spinal cord injury for over thirty years. Doctor Kornylak's treatment with Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy ( OMT) made the biggest difference in pain relief than any other treatment modality I have tried. ( And I have sought many treatments for pain and arthritis.)
