"Words express how very compassionate and caring Dr. Korte has been to me and my family. He took such excellent care of my husband and myself for years."
— Birdeye (Patient Review)"I had to call the office 2x before the office would work on expediting the reading of the imaging. The result was finally read over 3 weeks later... Patients should be advised prior to ordering imaging that a 3+ week timeframe is to be expected."
— BBB Complaint"I was not physically examined... The physician stated they did not have the capability to perform any imaging. I was given a single pain pill and discharged."
