Mr. Joel M. Corwin, MD

I was a patient of Mr. Corwin for many years. He performed emergency eye surgery on me that has saved my eye at the time. (Approx. 10yrs ago)

Unfortunately, this man has a temper problem & showed no tact, professionalism, or class when dealing with an injured patient after surgery. I noticed this during my 1st recovery visit with this man. He became agitated & used his best black voice to mock me during the visit when I asked if there was anything he could prescribe me for the pain by saying “he can’t do Nuttin for da pain!” To get me to stop asking. This worked as our relationship deteriorated after his outrageous outburst. He also never explained anything well to me regarding my procedure before hand & honestly i think this man has racist beliefs that obviously got the better of him on this day.

To add insult to injury. Currently I had a follow up appointment with him this week to address an emergency situation regarding my eye & was denied service directly by Dr. Corwin who claimed that my Referal dept. sent me back to him in error he does not take hmo patients anymore.

This was fine as I don’t want this man near me to be honest. But he was verbally rude & aggressive In his denial of service & worst of all this Doctor & staff ushered me out the door without even looking into my emergency when asked directly. No triage to see if I was in danger of loosing my eye or anything Before politely ushering me out the door.

By the way, every person I spoke with in the ins. Office, the Referal office, & at the IPA does not agree with mr. corwins actions & they show him as taking on new patients & also HMO’s are excepted in this office. So basically it looks as if he lied 🤥 also..

This to me is just shameful & speaks volumes to the type of doctor he is. I found out the next day from his peers that the valve that Mr. Corwin implanted into my eye had slipped out & now I’m required to undergo surgery on this eye again to remove the implant. Thanks for caring about your patients Mr. Corwin May your arrogance keep you warm at night.

I look forward to filing a formal complaint against you & your office for neglecting a patient in need once again.

Following an eye surgery performed by Joel Corwin I not only lost vision in my eye but also continue to suffer from constant, daily debilitating pain. He did not explain the risks of this surgery to me beforehand and has done nothing to help me following it.
