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.

Dr. Tommy Korn was able to diagnosis my eye infection that was not healing after my urgent care visit on 7/13/25 which included another eye drop prescription. I was so relieved to see there was no abnormality from the Color Fundus Photography test. I highly recommend Dr. Korn because my eyes started healing within three days with the new prescription.

The doctor reassured me that I would always have to wear glasses however that wasn't a real surprise to me but I just wanted to improve my vision and improve my reading quality with new vision. We all want 20/20 vision but at this age!
