I started going to Dr.Korba a little over a year ago. A little back story I had been seeing a different surgeon (had part of my colon removed and a ileostomy placed. After that surgery I got very sick and couldn't keep anything down. My surgeon didn't seem concerned and got very nasty the last time I saw him and I was to nervous to go back) So I get a appt with Dr.Korba and soon as he sees me he is very concerned as my weight was only 68lbs & I'm 5'6 and 35 years old. He set me up for blood work and a couple different test. I was diagnosed with gastroparesis. He started me on a medication and I've been so much better. A year later I'm at 108lbs and have a colonoscopy scheduled. If everything looks good I'll be able to have my ileostomy reversed! Dr.Korba is a very kind and compassionate doctor. He is also a man of God! I can't say enough good things about him. He's just an all around good person and actually really cares about his patients.

Had to cancel due to death in Family. Gave days notice. To be charged $150. Rediculous!

Both my husband and myself have been treated by Dr Korba. I would trust him with my life. I have been sick and in bed most of this year. No one has yet found the source of my illness. How can I get to see Dr Korba? I live in Columbia. Brenda Harvey

Dr. Korba is one of the nicest physicians I've ever been to. He makes you feel very comfortable. He gives you all the time you need to ask him questions. He's very thorough when explaining your case and treatments. I have all the confidence in the world in him.
