I always get excellent care. The staff always takes time with me and listens to me. I look forward to seeing Dr. Koren every six months.
Dr Koren listens to you and comes up with a plan to solve any issues you are having. .
Very professional experience
Dr. Koren is very easy to speak with. He is genuinely concerned with my well-being. I trust and recommend him.
Dr. Koren reviewed with me all of the information that I had and that he had. He came to a conclusion that I fully agreed with based on the evidence we had. He gave me papers to have a blood test taken to substantiate the results that the emergency room provided three days ago. Also, we have set up another appointment in the near future. I have been Dr. Koren’s patient for over 10 years and fully believe in his expertise and evaluations.
Make the patient wait too long past appointment time
Thorough personable
Always the best care
Dr Koren is so smart as is Marcie, his ARNP. Yet they are easily approachable and easy to talk to. Dr Koren has been my doctor for 23 years. There’s none better.
He saved my life by keeping close tabs on me and my aneurysm. I am in his debt!!
