When in the midst of a serious crisis with our adolescent daughter many years ago, we were referred to several other psychiatrists who were sadly clueless about providing the right care. We felt lost and were in extreme despair. When we finally found Dr. Kornberg, our daughter's condition and mental health rapidly improved! It has been almost 8 years since he's been treating first one and then another daughter, caring for and guiding them both safely through some dangerous years/mental health struggles. He will never know how immensely grateful we are for his thoughtful care and expertise. He is truly a lifesaver and exceptionally skilled at his profession. Thank you, Dr Kornberg!!

What a wonderful level of patient care. I saw one psychiatrist before I found Dr. Kornberg, and I am so happy I found a doctor who listens, explains, and cares about his patients. Thank you Dr. Kornberg, I appreciate you.

I found Dr. Kornberg to be very caring and he was just what I needed after dealing with a bunch of uncaring medical doctors. I highly recommend him, as I have seen major results with the medications he changed me to, and he is just very nice.

Dr. Kornberg has been taking care of my child after being referred by a few friends. We have all had a great experience and have been pleased with the results. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an intelligent, compassionate and caring psychiatrist!
