"Over the last 20 years I have done a number of surgeries at multiple medical facilities over the country, and have been cared for by many doctors. Dr. Korn is one of the very best physicians I have encountered.

Professional in demeanor and impeccably skilled in oculofacial surgical arts, Dr. Korn has a keen perception of individual patient needs and renders flexibility in assessing and delivering medical care. He listens to his patients carefully and observes unobtrusively, and, despite his eminence and accomplishments, never came across as egocentric as some surgeons do. Confident yet humbled, caring and mild-mannered, Dr. Korn seems to encompass a range of intellect and emotions that allows him to connect well with his patients at a level that reflects understanding of and sensitivity to the psychological attributes of both male and female patients, making patients feel understood and respected. Dr. Korn performs surgeries for both pediatric and adult patients in both reconstructive and cosmetic settings, with impressive online and internal reviews from parents as well as elderly patients. His friendliness at times could mask his professional essence, making him resembles a benevolent brother figure--an image that sometimes may cause concerns (as if surgeons are supposed to be more distant or stoic than friendly) but which I think would help nurture trust and comfort level with patients. Dr. Korn also mentors medical students, residents, and fellows, a blessing that will comfort and reassure many that a culture of compassionate medicine practice can pass on to the next generations of doctors, regardless of many existing and foreseeable hurdles encumbering our society's health care system. I take comfort in knowing there will be more Dr. Korns helping Boomers like me as well as Gen Zers like my kids in college and  grad school."

Thank you.

Dear Dr. Korn, Dr. Granet and the Shiley Eye Center UCSD:
I have thought thousands of times about how both unlucky and lucky I have been in the last year. The unlucky part, was when I was struck in the eye with a baseball while pitching, a smoked line drive hit. Something that rarely happens, but it happened to me. The lucky part was being treated by you and the Shiley Eye Center medical team that put me back together, and the blessings from something greater, not of this earth. You both were the key part of the medical team that put me back together and saved my eye. I am forever grateful for you and for having the sheer luck of living near UCSD and getting the best medical care I could have possibly received. My family and I are thanking God, you both and the Shiley Eye Center every day for giving me a second chance to live a normal life and continue to chase my dreams. My biggest dream of playing college and pro baseball requires two healthy eyes. I have that again and I will not waste this opportunity. I will continue to work hard to reach my goals and never take for granted that I am one of the lucky ones. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Dr Korn, Dr. Granet and your team at the Shiley Eye Center, UCSD. I lucked out and got the best care that I could have ever asked for.
