Patient Reviews
Dec 01, 2024
I highly recommend Dr Korst. In 2009, after having just recovered from surgery and radiation for breast cancer, I was given the devastating diagnosis that I had lung cancer. Finding Dr Korst was a godsend. I was assured that his highly recognized expertise would see me through. Surgery was successful and I follow up with him every year to review my annual cat scan.
