About Me
As a dermatologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I see patients whose skin diseases and concerns range from the simple to the complex, including patients with autoimmune diseases.
I’m very invested in my patients and their health — when I’m in the room with a patient, it’s just me and them. Nothing is more important than taking the time to focus on their concerns and conditions while working together to generate a plan of care.
In my general dermatology clinics, I treat all ages and conditions, with procedures including full body skin checks, mole checks, acne management and lesion removal. I also co-direct the multidisciplinary rheumatology-dermatology clinic at Ohio State Outpatient Care New Albany, the first and only of its kind in central Ohio. In this clinic, we offer patients with autoimmune skin diseases access to both rheumatology and dermatology in one place along with the latest advances in diagnostics and therapeutics. I work closely with a rheumatologist to manage patients with connective tissue and autoimmune diseases including psoriasis, lupus, dermatomyositis, morphea, systemic sclerosis, vasculitis and sarcoidosis.
In addition, I’m the lead for the medical center’s inpatient consultative dermatology service, where I specialize in the management of complex medical diseases and severe to life-threatening skin eruptions including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, skin infections and chemotherapy-related reactions.
Finally, I have a passion for providing care to underserved populations, and I direct a free clinic through La Clinica Latina for Hispanic patients who are uninsured or underinsured as well as incarcerated individuals at Franklin Medical Center.
When I’m away from work, I like to spend time with my family, and I find joy in reading, running and gardening.

Great
Respectful of what I was looking for in treatment and made sure I was comfortable with course of treatment
Dr Korman listen to me. I told him I was having an issue and he was right on it to take care of it and he even gave me some other tips on things I can try also.
No response for addressing level of pain following surgical procedure. Felt like a body that needed to be moved quickly thought the conveyor belt
Dr. Korman is pleasant and thorough. He listened to my concerns. Asked me questions. He explained how to proceed with treatment after his examination. Dr. Korman was patient and treated me with respect. I'm grateful he is my doctor!
He sure knows his stuff!!
All good excellent!
This was my first appointment with Dr. Korman. He is the best Dermatologist I have ever seen, and I have seen many! Simply outstanding. He is kind, compassionate, very sharp, efficient, and I believe brilliant. I have full confidence in him, and I am so thankful he is my doctor. Extraordinary physician and Individual.

Encouraging, good listening skills, made me feel good about my health and my efforts to stay on top of my meds. He definitely knows what he is doing, confident and caring.
Always caring and courteous, explains next steps in my treatment
Dr. Korman is fantastic. He showed concern and understanding at my report of unpleasant side effects from a major medication I just started, and suggested an easy regimen to try initially to mitigate those side effects. If that didn't work, he said to message him because he had other ideas. I really appreciate his willingness to work with me here because the medication is highly effective.
Dr korman is the best! Great bed side manner. He was understanding and explained everything at my level.
Very respectful and easily communicated the excission procedure. Also appreciate the introduction and interaction with the intern Dr. Smith who helped him with my procedure.

My first visit. I was very impressed with his professionalism and knowledge. He listened to my concerns and answered my questions. He spent the time with me that was needed and did not rush me through the visit.
Friendly and even though it had been a few years since my last visit, my Dr remembered me.

Dr Korman has Great bedside manner, very professional, showed compassion, listened
Never even looked at my scalp just assumed it was what the diagnosis as the other part of my body.
Very pleasant
Dr. Korman was very helpful, caring, and took extra time to explain the condition and possible treatment plans. He asked me if I wanted to take an additional oral med, rather than telling me to take this med.
Excellent manner and engaging demeanor. Conveyed relevant medical information and potential next steps clearly and compassionately.
Good
Dr. Korman took the time to explain the importance and differences between the marks for biopsies versus freezing

Kind. Professional. Talked with me, not to me. Easy to understand his explanations.
Dr.Korman was sure to explain what he would be doiong, asked if I had questions and advised me to call if there were questions afterward.
He looked at all meds that had been described and said how helpfull that was. He did throug exam of all areas of concerns, how long it had lasted. Then he described what it was in terns easy to understand for layman. How to use meds, what they were, what to avoid. Said to connect him in 2 weeks if not better or gone.
Dr.Corman was thorough. He answered all my questions. Never had impression that he was rushing me.
Excellent
Wonderful provide, great bedside manner, explained things in a way that made sense and gave me options regarding treatment and next steps for care
He is the best, wish my other doctors were like him.
He always answers my questions, listened to me and asks me about my preference with treatment (this last time I had a rash on my arm and he asked if I wanted a cream to put on it or if I thought I needed a prescription or if I was going to just live with it). I like that he asks for my thoughts.
He was incredible! Attentive and compassionate! He explained everything very thoroughly. He knew my history and all that I have been through the last year plus. I drove 2 hours to see him and it was worth it
Really really enjoy having Dr. Korman as my dermatologist
Thoughtful, timely, re-assuring
Great bedside manner, didn't downplay my concerns even though I tried to because my flare up wasn't bad that day. Instead he validated my concerns and I appreciate that.
Outstanding and very efficient
A little rushed
He was pleasant he listened and talk to me
A mole was excised without difficulty and wit very little pain. Care instructions were provided in writing and were thoroughly explained to me.
Very friendly and engaging! Great bedside manner!
He was very nice and personable. I really like his bedside manner!
Very attentive and knowledgeable about my condition
Very nice and professional about how I was doing and kept me comfortable
Always enjoy office visits. One of favorite providers.
Outstanding. Very kind and warm and good at what he does. One of my problems is already completely resolved, the other has a longer treatment course. I have zero complaints about Dr Korman and a lot of positive things to say
Patient and listened to me during my visit
Great experience
The doctor was friendly and professional. He explained the procedure and possible results in a manner that I could understand, but he was in and out of the room. This was not a problem since I know he has to stay on schedule and see multiple patients, but it seems that as a patient you're more of a number than a person. I don't feel this is the fault of the doctor - this is just the way things are.
He makes me feel like he really cares, and empathizes and explains everything very very well and clearly.
Very Very good at removing cyst!!!!!!!
Dr Korman was forthright in his review and straightforward regarding skin spots needing biopsies
All very good, very good service
Dr Korman noticed I had been picking scabs and scratching my self. He suggested a prescription that would help with that problem and it's made a huge difference. Many thanks.
Always has my best interested
Good good
Great
Excellent listening and explaining qualities
Dr korman is knowledgeable, kind, informative, and provides time for me to talk/ask questions. He's responsive when I need something via my chart.
Ho hum. He was merely going through the motions.
Also all good!
Very kind and thorough.
Dr. Korman is awesome! Helped me regain my confidence, and feel good about myself. He's clearly very knowledgeable and makes me feel comfortable.
Extremely approachable and professional
Provider is cool. I feel like he is always in the rush. I don't have enough time to ask question. He is always ready to leave. I feel embarrassed because I can't ask all my questions or sometimes I forget my questions because of that.
Dr. Korman had a polite and professional demeanor during my very brief appointment (10 minutes at most). Though he answered my questions, I definitely felt he was in a hurry which was the case with a previous appointment I had several years ago with a different doctor at this same facility (Gahanna). Also, like before, the exam room seemed crowded with the medical assistant, a medical student, and the dermatologist all present during my exam. Appointments with my primary care doctor include ONLY my doctor and myself which I prefer.
Friendly and professional
Dr Korman came in with a great attitude and talked me through my examination to make sure I'm aware of the spots on my body he was looking over.
Amazing,makes you feel comfortable.Takes his time and explains things very clearly.
Great doctor, listens and helps
Good
Very good listener and very observant
It seemed like I had to ask the questions about would care. A nurse came in after and bandaged the site and answered my questions. No written directions were given and I had to send a.message through mychart to have the info sent.
The doctor was very nice he had all my medical records to look at he found all my records from 25 years ago, I've been to several different doctors several different hospitals and nobody could tell me what I had after all the tests, this doctor looked at my results of all the tests and everything did the exam on me and seem to know exactly what I had right away, he knew exactly what the prescribe and talked with me about all the pros and cons of it.
I enjoyed having a student complete my procedure. Dr Korman was always present, guiding her. Great to see good providers involved with education. We all start somewhere!
He alright -
Best dermatologist I have ever had.
Dr Korman is fantastic! Knowledgeable. Very personal. Approachable. Took time for explaining and questions. Spoke about what to expect after visit. Excellent patient care.
Very friendly and knowledgeable.
He was really smart, decisive, and reviewed all my health history. While I love that, my appointment was actually less than 10 min and I didn't get any info on how to care for my skin issues, just meds.
He is super good he knows what's wrong with my hand quickly and give me the right medication and I trusted him because he gave me 3 weeks to come back to make sure that I'm healing. Thanks for him and for all in the clinic.
Dr. seemed very rushed during the appointment. There seemed to be no time taken to look over the bottoms of both feet to ensure no other areas of concern and he just looked at the one spot I was in for. It would have been nice if he would have taken just a few minutes to look over my feet to make sure no other areas were of concern.
He was very knowledgeable as were the residents that were in the room / he gave a personal experience that his wife has the same type of eczema as I do and that was comforting knowing he had a lot of experience with treating it and understanding why it's such a burden
