had him as an endocrinologist before I turned 20. I have major hormone imbalances and was insulin resistant. this combined with getting out of high school and losing my regular physical activities and poor mental health meant I was obese. He told me I had PCOS, (i already knew this) and asked if I knew what that meant. I began to try and explain what I knew already, he cut me off, told me that that wasn't exactly what it was, handed me a 3 page (one sided) print off on PCOS (which was less informative than what I had already begun to explain). he then proceeded to tell me that all of my symptoms were from being obese, and that I would be fine if I lost weight. He then pushed me to try and choose bariatric surgery. I explained that I wasnt willing to consider that option at the time, because not only had it not worked for my grandmother, but also because i have a huge family history of arthritis and fibromyalgia and other stuff that typically requires you to take anti inflammatories, something that you're not really supposed to take after bypass surgery. While I did not have those problems yet (remember, i wasnt even 20 yet!) I was aware that it would be likely i'd develop them later. he disregarded this and only recommended
surgery

My daughter was diagnosed with Hashimotos and Dr. Koren did not instruct us any further or explain her illness and her antibodies were over 1300 (extremely high) and her TSH was 6.1 and he offered no support or any suggestion about eliminating gluten to see a change or adding supplements. He did no further work up and said he waits to treat until the TSH is about 10. Unacceptable . He truly needs to do more education in the area of how serious Hashimotos disease is and help his patients make necessary life changes to keep them healthy.

Dr. Koren is knowledgable, but there are better endocrinologists out there. Dr Koren's bedside manner could also improve.

Dr. Koren is wonderful. He is personable, caring, and knowledgeable. I have never felt rushed when seeing him, and I always feel that he is on top of my test results and what is best for me and my health. His staff is great too. Everyone in the office seems to care about my diabetes and wants to see my health improve.

It was great to see Dr. Koren. He helped me immensely with my diabetes control. He spend more time with me adjusting insulin pump settings and explaining things than any other doctor I saw during the last 10 years.

Only cares about himself. Has no empathy. Made us feel like lab rats.

I am seeing Dr. Koren for thyroid issues. He adjusted my dose of the medicine and finally I feel normal after all the years of thinking I was getting crazy. Highly recommend him to anyone who needs help with hormones.

I saw Dr. Koren for a hormone imbalance. Not only did he ignore ALL of my symptoms, he also listed off my hormones from my lab work from 6 months ago, saying each one was fine. The thing is, he listed off progesterone saying it was fine, and progesterone wasn't even on the lab results. He didn't bother looking at my medical info, he just told me I was fine (when three other doctors disagreed and I was going to him for prescription management). This doctor is a waste of time, and he's only in it for the money from the insurance company. He knows slim to nothing about hormones, and he definitely doesn't care about the patient.
