I had an awful experience a year ago with Dr. Korman. I was 9 weeks pregnate and went in on a Friday for a vaginal ultrasound check because I had been spotting. I was told that the fetus had died at 6 weeks and I needed a D&C. Because of my age (40) Dr. Korman said that he could do a tubil ligation during the D&C procedure if I wanted. I was shocked.....I never mentioned anything to him about wanting a tubal done. I thought it was very insensitive of him to mention that. Even at 40, a tubal ligation is a personal decision that should never be made at a moment when a person has just been told their baby will never come to be. I was shocked as was his ultrasound tech, since he did not even tell me this in private. She spoke her opinion when he left the room. Then I was hit again when I find out that they are closing at noon that day because it was their Christmas party, so I would need to have the D&C done on the following Monday. Never would I imagine the sadness and despair that I felt that weekend waiting, knowing that the heartbeat that I had seen the previous week on ultrasound was no longer beating and I was just waiting till Monday to move forward. Time stood still and nothing mattered. I then received a phone call Monday to tell me that because of my high deductible I would need to complete the paperwork and pay Dr. Korman's fee's upfront before they would even do the lab work to prepare me for the procedure. I was not able to get into the hospital until Tuesday to take care of things. Never would I have thought I would be left hanging like I was. At one time I had great things to say about this Dr. Korman, but I was able to see him and his practice in a whole different light. This is one doctor that I would never visit again.
Pros: Very intelligent
Cons: In a hurry and not sensitive to patients emotional needs
