Hello, I would like to know if anyone is a patient of Dr. Korman in Marina Del Rey. I had a consultation with him and I just wanted to swap experiences

I had a consultation with him in 2009. He was great and I liked his staff too. Unfortunately it turned out that he was no longer on my insurance. I was really bummed. :(

Dr. Korman made me feel very comfortable during the consultation. What did you think of him?

I met with him and I really did like him. I wasnt too happy with the office. If was really shabby. I cant find the right words for it. It was dark in there. when i first walked in i was ready to leave. On top of being nervous i initially wasnt comfortable. i decided to tough it out and meet him. i didnt want to judge a book by its cover.. it was explained to me that the office was part of the hospital and he just worked out of it. So i stayed for the appoinment. He communicates well and was willing to meet me half way with the guidelines that i have. I dont have to "diet" but i do have to attempt to "low carb" it to "condition" my body for the surgery. I also have to do the psych and nutrionist, and a sleep study. when all is said and done im spending about 1500 out of pocket. overall , i am happy that i stayed and met with him. he explained things well, and was too the point. He seemed sincere and supportive. He answered all of my questions with out making me feel as though i was over reacting.

Yes, you are right, the office was dark, poor lighting. And, since I ended up going to 4 different surgeons before I found one that fulfilled BOTH criteria for my insurance: 1) That the doctor was in-network; and 2) the doc was affiliated with a hospital that was in-network - I had a chance to see the good, bad and the not so pretty. LOL I also agree that Dr. Korman was worth the wait.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
