Jeremy Korman Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

great

On July 19 2010 I had the lap band.. I saved for along time paid cash for this surgery.. The lapband went wrong..WARNING..Dr Korman barely came to check on me.. I want my money back.. I could have died there was so much infection and he can't explain anything..

Although I have not had surgery yet, every contact I have had with Dr. Korman and his staff so far has been outstanding! He has a well-structured and comprehensive pre- and post-op care protocol, and a kind, knowledgeable, and dynamic treatment team.
I am looking forward to my surgery later this month, and I will update my testimony as I have further contact with Dr. Korman and his team.

At the present time, I can honestly say that I would encourage anyone who lives in Southern California, anywhere near the Los Angeles area, to give Dr. Korman's office--L.A. Bariatrics--a call if you are looking for A surgeon for WLS.

he is a sweet man, with magic skills.rnrnDr. Korman actually cares about his patients, he tells you how it is and doesnt give you the fairy tail version of things. rnrnthe women in the front are kind as well. they are quick to meet your needsrnrnI rate the dr. a 10, his office staff a 7 and the program offered by the office a 5. there is some organizational issues, and the information is presented the week before surgery in a not so easy to follow along binder. thye are however ameniable to nswering a million questions and the nurse is available 24/7

PRE-OP........very good program at Dr. Kormans' office.......I have read peoples comments on how the steps leading up to there surgery went, ie....3 days before surgery someone calls to asked them why they haven't completed ther EKG, there reply \"no one told me i needed one\"....etc. The great thing about Korman's program is that, its just that, a program. 1 person or group in charge of each phase, so nothing gets overlooked.......they hand u a sheet of paper with everything on it that needs to be done, some of it is on you to complete some of it is on them.........as with any 3 month program sometimes there are little missteps, thats normal.........but nothing major........they have there process down pretty good.i will let u know what happens post op...rnrnPOST-OP.........everything is good at the doc's office........good program, i think they realy have a good system of insuring everthing goes well.......no complaints here......rnrnPOST OP-rni believe i owe alot of my success over the last 15months to my doctors office.....really impressed by their support system, i try to attend as many post op group meeting as possible. i think its important for me to remember, to reflect where i was versus where i am. i really cant say much that is negative about my experiance with dr. kormans practice.

I first saw Dr. Korman at an informational meeting for people considering bariatric surgery. He was easy going, thorough, patient and willing to answer everyone's questions. He seems quite young and boyish and yet has done these surgeries for several years. My impression of him has not changed in over a year, and I have come to appreciate him greatly. His staff is wonderful, warm and caring. The entire office is operating to support the bariatric patient. No question is too foolish (no person either). They have ongoing post operative support groups; frequent check-ups, complete with lab work; available counseling, exercise, and nutritional support continue post surgery. Dr. Korman was direct about the risks of surgery as were various staff members. I would give him a \"10\" and his staff as well. I do not think that one should have to choose competence over bedside manner or vice versa. Fortunately, with Dr. Korman and his staff you don't have to.rnrnThe only negative comment I have to make, is that I frequently have to wait quite awhile beyond my scheduled appointment time to be seen. I wish they were a little more attentive to the time issue.

Dr. Korman has been wonderful, the orientation was very informative. My inital personal visit went very well. He is straight forward and very warm. The office personnel and medical facility staff are helpful and very professional.

Dr. Korman is knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and thorough. Plus, he's really hot. My impression has not changed. He explained the risks of the surgery and outcomes. They have an after care program at the hospital. The staff at the hospital were amazing and he also has the absolutely best team at his office. Dr. Korman visited me after the surgery to check in on me and he gave me the cutest teddy bear. He wasn't in a rush to leave my bedside and we talked about the surgery and I also asked him some personal questions. He rest assured my worries and made sure I was okay before he left. Dr. Korman truly cares about his patients. I'm so happy I decided to have surgery with him and could not have asked for a better doctor.rnrn

I absolutely love Dr. Korman! He is so gentle and has great bedside manner! His office staff and entire team is absolutely wonderful. I love how involved his team is in not only pre-op but also the post op. With his entire team in one location, it made it easy to meet the criteria that most insurances require. Dr. Korman reviews and discusses with you every option and makes you feel very involved. Dr. Korman is an A+ surgeon to me and I would recommend anyone to him who is searching for a great Bariatric surgeon. He was an hour and 30 minutes away from my home and well worth every minute!

I cannot begin to describe how helpful and thorough Dr. Korman and his staff have been before, during and after the surgery.rnrnThey got me past insurance hassles that had me go through the approval process with three other doctor's in 2 years. In fact, after my consultation, it was so quick to approval that I didn't believe them when the office called me to set a date.rnrnThey truly worked with me to prepare and have been there for me since. The surgery was done at a nice, intimate hospital. After the surgery, Dr. Korman even brings you a teddy bear dressed in scrubs to hug as your body deals with the pain of gas from the anesthesia. How cute is that?rnrnThey have a great aftercare program and truly support you through everything. Any time I had a problem, with billing errors or getting labs done through my GP, we worked through it collaboratively and fairly painlessly.
