About Tommy Korn, MD
I strive to provide my patients with a compassionate and conservative approach using evidence-based medicine and proven surgical techniques. I became a physician to follow in my parents' footsteps in doing good for humanity. I participate in the Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group Climate and Planetary Health Committee because I have an interest in addressing the impact of climate change on human health. In my spare time I try to enjoy life and appreciate its fragile nature.

All the questions I had were answered at my appointments. When I went in for my surgery, I knew what to expect. I had already had my right eye surgery done.
