Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I was involved in a car crash where the airbag deployed and ended up putting a big bump into my nose. (I fondly refer to it as my Jew bump.)
Dr. Korkos spent a lot of time with me explaining the procedure itself, recovery, the insurance process, etc. He was kind, gentle, down to earth, had a great sense of humor, really LISTENED, and above all-- he CARED.
His staff took photos during the initial appointment and I was on my way. It was now a waiting game.
My health insurance company denied the surgery, of course, stating it was cosmetic, ignoring the fact it was a disfigurement after an auto crash. Korkos' office called to explain that the doctor was going to arrange a meeting to fight to have my procedure covered. Not even a week later, my insurance company called me directly to inform me that I was approved! I don't know what this man said to the insurance company, but he is a genius!
The morning of my surgery, he came in to see how I was doing and explain things one more time. He held my hand, looked me right in the eyes, and I knew I was in the hands of a good man.
When I woke up, I was confused. I had packing in my nostrils. They sent me home with a ton of pain medicine. I pretty much slept the next couple days. Of the 50 Percocet they gave me, I only took 2. The most uncomfortable part of the entire surgery or procedure was when the packing was removed a few days post surgery. I got light headed but it passed within moments.
Another reason I love Korkos? During my initial appointment, I told him that I loved my nose, I wanted to keep the same pointy basic shape, but to remove the Jew bump. I referred to it as "wanting a little scoop." During my follow-up months later, when he looked at me, his words were exactly, "you have a great little scoop." :) :) It just made me smile and love this man that much more!
I am seeing him in a couple weeks for a Lipo/tummy tuck consoltation. I also plan on a brow lift one day. I am so excited to see him!
Totally unrelated note: I stretched my ears as a teen. I asked several doctors & dermatologists who I could see to have them seen. Their answer? Tom Korkos. If you are in Wisconsin and considering surgery, see this man.
The only "bad" thing anyone could ever mention are the wait times for the appointment. The staff is incredibly accommodating and friendly. I schedule my appointments on a lunch break during work. There have been a couple times I have waited a bit. But you know what? It's because Korkos spends quality time with each patient, doesn't rush, or leave until the patient is comfortable and satisfied. Waiting a few extra minutes to ensure QUALITY care is NEVER a negative in my book.
Hands down the best surgeon. I've met with many others in the Chicago/Milwauker region and he is the only one I will ever consider.
Now look how cute my scoop is sans Jew bump!
