Korff Gary MD - Family Practice Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I will start out by saying that I really like this doctor. However, the policies at Optum are ridiculous. They say they do telemedicine but they don't - unless they think you might give them covid. It's a shame. I've been a patient here for almost 15 years. Sad that they can't get their act together enough to keep patients. read more

We have had Dr. Korff for 28 years and have never had an issue with him. He has always been proactive on our health and throughly answers all questions. My wife insurance changed to Kaiser for one year and was able to return to him the next year. We believe having the same doctor for many years has been positive on our health care. We would highly recommend Dr. Korff. read more

I just got a call regarding my appointment this Friday at 8 AM. I had surgery two months ago and have been bounced around from my postop appointment because the doctor had been out of town on vacation. I was understanding and just waited to get on the books. My appointment confirmations were never getting received and I called the clinic to let them know. This morning I got a reminder for my appointment this Friday and I confirmed. A few hours later the receptionist called me to let me know that Dr Korff would like to fire me as a patient For no showing and canceling. I have been in and out of the hospital with severe conditions and went in for emergency surgery last week. Now I have two pending postop surgery appointments that need to be addressed and I'm canceled right before. I asked if I can pay a deposit to secure my appointment and she said a salute Lee not the doctor would not like to have me as a patient any longer, and I will have to wait for a new provider for 30 days. please let me give you a little history here. I switch to Dr Korff because his partner asked if I was transgender?? I am cis gender and without a question, it is obvious. I had a tumor in my neck and he said it looks like an Adam's apple. I switched to Dr Korff because at the time, he was the closest provider, and I felt like I would still go to the clinic since it was entirely not the clinics fault but the doctors. I can see why they work well together and bedside manner, business practice, and communication is just off. I'm not sure what is going on here, but it's pretty weird. My boyfriend goes here as well and every time we go to the pharmacy to get her prescriptions filled, he forgets to call them in, or he calls and half of them, and forgets to call in the others, I have so much more to add, but this will do for now. I am happy to add one more one star to the wall of fame for them and call it a day. Time to move on and wash my hands. read more

Wow. I have never met a doctor so passive aggressive, rude, and stuck on to his own opinion as this doctor before. He must hate his job. What a joke. read more

Horrible bedside manner from Dr. Korff and his medical staff that NEVER returned my phone calls/ multiple messages regarding an urgent healthcare concern. My visit with Dr. Korff was to establish care as I had a myriad of health concerns. He started off our visit with a comment "you're in a same sex partnership, i guess getting pregnant isn't a problem"- when i had come to the appointment to get a referral for serious reproductive health concerns. The nurse who took my vitals prior to his entering the room explained that a male scribe would be in the room with Dr. Korff but when he did a physical exam the scribe would have to leave the room. He never did. The scribe who was at the end of the exam bed looked straight at me as Dr. Korff abruptly lifted my gown without telling me what he was doing as I hadn't even laid down yet and then proceeded to push on my abdomen very hard without explaining what he was doing or communicating to let him know where and if it hurt. I had mentioned previously that I was suffering pain in the abdomen and he just pressed so hard without warning. He also mocked that I did self check breast exams as I am under the age of 40 (my grandmother had a double masectomy) and then offered abruptly to do an exam if I really felt concerned. Overall a horrible experience that left me in tears leaving the office and very frustrated as I got bad news and had to follow up with immediate care and Dr. Korff's office never made the transferral of information needed to my new doctor without constant phonecalls and frustration. read more

This guy is the biggest joke in the history of Medical practice. Never in my days have I encountered someone so damn rude and entitled to his own opinion. I was trying to explain to this clown Gary Korff that I have a serious shoulder issue but I need my blood levels at a healthy rate to get surgery. This dude tells me to "stop making things up" and that my injury won't even need surgery. Dude I've dislocated my shoulder 8 times, you're little hand raising assessment doesn't assess anything besides the fact that this guy pretends to be a doctor when he literally is on his computer googling everything I'm telling him about MY body and what I have been diagnosed with. Unless you want the COVID vaccine pushed onto you a thousand times, I would never waste any of my life in the presence of this joke of a human. read more

As I write this review, there are only (2) other reviews for Dr. Korff, both of which are one star ratings. First off, rating a doctor with a one star review simply because you don't like his personality is quite dubious to begin with. You don't like his mannerisms, so you give him a single star review? Basically, you're saying he is the worst of the worst in health care providers a la Dr. Kavorkian... That is absolute B.S.! I think you might be confusing one star with three stars... I have seen Dr. Korff for 2+ years now amounting to about 5 total visits. He has ALWAYS been polite, courteous and attentive to all my health concerns and needs. In fact, he has always been so thoughtful with me, that I can't even begin to imagine what horrible people "Kristofor R." or "Nancy V." must have been to Dr. Korff to even see his bad side, assuming that even happened. I have my doubts. I have seen Dr. Korff for several unrelated health issues and he has ALWAYS treated me with care and dignity. In fact, I have an appointment for tomorrow morning. read more

My insurance companies changed at my employer so I had to get a new Primary Physician. Dr. Korff was the first recommendation through my insurance provider and he was closeby so I decided to schedule an appointment. Basically, he listened to none of my symptoms, kept talking over me and I just felt like he was physically incabable of listening to what I had to say. I tried another doctor the same day who was MUCH MUCH better. I would skip this one. Not someone I felt comfortable trusting with my health. read more

Took a week to get in and see Dr. Korff with a broken hand. The guy is all over the place very unorganized . He was suppose to fill out & turn in my disability form 8 weeks ago. Was told everything was submitted but during a follow up apt today found he neglected to do so or contact me about it. When questioned he made excuses and blamed it on his secretary. Stay away from this place bad vibes. read more

It is very hard to find a doctor that you can actually talk to and is reliable and doctor korff is all those. His office always tries as best they can to get you in as soon as it's possible so you don't have to wait. Finding a primary care physician that actually cares and really had your best interests in mind is sometimes impossible. But I would say after having many diff. PCPs in my life he has been one of the best. read more

He's been my doctor for a number of years and I'm always impressed how smart he is. Dr. Korff is very knowledgeable about latest best-practices, and he tells it like it is. I really like his sense of humor, too. If you want a great family doctor, he's your guy. read more

Dr Korff has been my Dr for over 20 years, I respect that he listens to me. My mother's Dr. lost interest in her when she changed to medicare. I changed her to Dr Korff and he has saved my mother's life from the misery of an infection that went on for 2 years. He diagnosed the cause of the bacteria as being lodged in the mesh from her bladder surgery and insisted the surgeon re operate. She has healed the wound and Hooray! no more of her living on antibiotics and me cleaning her wound twice a day. read more

I am a new patient and he diagnosed several issues correctly. Pleasant and professional demeanor.

My husband has been going to Dr. Korff for many years and he has found him to be very knowledgeable in his field of medicine. He not only listens to his patients about their concerns and addresses their medical history and medicine intake making sure that the interaction of those meds to not interfere with his patient well-being. He is the first doctor that my husband has ever gone to who will actually sit and listen. My husband has never felt rushed to get out of his office. As a patient you are a person and not just one more patient to fill a quota. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Korff for over 15 years. He has taken great care of me and my family. He is caring and has developed a sense of humor too. His staff is always pleasant even when the diagnosis is scary. The facilities are clean and have been remodeled lately and is looking good. Sometimes he has patients that take longer than expected so waiting can happen towards the end of the day but they try to keep on track. read more

I've been seeing Dr Korff for over 15 years and have always been impressed by his knowledge and professionalism. He is straight forward, which I like, and pulls no punches if he feels I have been negligent in my response to his suggested treatment plan. He does his best to keep me on the straight and narrow. He has never hesitated to refer me to specialists when needed. His nurses and office staff are always very pleasant and responsive to my requests and needs. I would recommend Dr Korff to anyone who wants a little levity and a lot of professionalism from their physician. read more

Don't go to Dr. Korff if you like being treated with even a shred of respect. I had to leave my original primary care doctor because of an insurance change, Dr. Korff was one of the few doctors near where I live approved by my new plan, I scheduled an appointment with him right after my new insurance kicked in because I have a chronic condition that requires medication and frequent monitoring. On my first visit he walked into the exam room an HOUR after my appointment was supposed to start, he offered no apology or explanation for making me wait that long,he did not introduce himself, he barely looked at me, just looked at my chart and said "so you're here for ........, what are taking for it?" When I told him what my previous doctor had me taking he made a statement implying that my former doctor was incompetent and careless! The rest of the appointment was just as bad. I went back to Dr. Korff a few more times, but finally, when I realized that just thinking about an upcoming visit with him made me sick with anxiety, I requested that my insurance provider transfer me to another doctor, the first time I have ever done that. To make a long story short, Dr. Korff has a very poor bedside manner, he is rude and abrupt, but if you like being treated badly, go for it! read more

I thought I would take a moment to write about Dr. Korff. He has been my physician for the last 21 years and I'm so happy for such. Even my children, when growing up preferred to see Dr. Korff instead of their own pediatrician. And now that they are adults, they are very please to be able to return to him again. Dr. Korff is a great listener and very caring. He is always up to date on the latest technology, medications and more. He is a calm soul, doesn't talk over you, yet straight forward. There is just something about him that makes you feel comfortable. He is trustworthy and nonjudgmental. His staff is awesome too. They are all very respectful and professional. He has gotten me through so much and even when I had no insurance I still went to him. He has a great sense of humor and has no problem having a great laugh in the office. It's not unusual for him to call and check on you himself too. I'm so happy and blessed to have him as my doctor all these years. He is a valuable asset to his practice and me!! read more
