About Tommy S. 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.

Since I have a condition that was not picked up by a previous non-Sharp doctor, I am grateful to have Dr. Korn taking care of my cornea/cataract issues.
