Mr. Marc Joel Kornfield

I was not a long term patient and did not experience the bad interactions some have written about. I needed pain management while I lost weight for surgery. Dr. Kornfield listened, asked relevant questions, and worked with me to manage the chronic pain with minimal narcotics. I would go back him if I ever needed pain management again.

I can't believe some of these negative reviews. I truly cannot find anything negative to say about this office. I have been a patient for 2 years and I tell everyone that Dr. Kornfield saved my life. He made my pain manageable for the first time in years and despite numerous significant medical problems, I am able to enjoy my life again and be happy. I see him every 4 weeks and he asks for full updates from each of my other appointments. He always evaluates whatever I update him on and is eager to look at any new records. I have a unique case and I truly feel like he wants to solve it and he genuinely cares about my health and well-being. He knows both my husband and myself and we always enjoy talking with him. I feel like he is a doctor well beyond just the 15 minute appointment. There are some strict, but simple, rules to follow because of the meds, but the government requires this stuff and ultimately it's all in place to keep you safe, so it's very understandable. I've never had a problem with any of it. The office staff and nurses are always kind and will coordinate appointments to help you out. Markey, the therapist, is SO wonderful as well!! There have been several times when I needed guidance and turned to her. She shows a ton of compassion and really seems to love helping people. She is hands down the best therapist I've ever met!! Overall, I absolutely recommend them to anyone struggling with pain!!! I can't believe some of these negative reviews. I truly cannot find anything negative to say about this office.

Rudest staff I have ever experienced.

Worst doctor, all about the money. Hires staff that is rude.

He helped me many years ago. His blended treatment got me out of chronic pain.

Insensitive, rude and non-communicative. Discounts patient input as though it were irrelevant. Has his own agenda, and it doesn't have to be helpful to the patient--only to his practice.

Bad reviews are accurate! He has his own agenda. Doesn't matter what is best for the patient. Refused to prescribe a compound pain cream. The only intelligent person who works there, is the therapist. As long as you do what he says, without question, your fine. I questioned his actions and his erratic behavior. Walking away from that place was the best thing I ever did for myself. Bad reviews are accurate! He has his own agenda. Doesn't matter what is best for the patient.

Has been a godsend to me. I'm grateful for his attentive and kind care

Years ago, I was brand new to field of pain management drs. Unfortunately, I landed at his office. Bottom line, after at least a year of his "treating" me, he suddenly changed my meds and I ended up at the ER, because I couldn't breathe, the same day. The ER I went to was shotty and by the next morning, I suddenly came to, after being unconscious (medical fact), I literally couldn't breathe! Through the grace of God, when I came to for less than a minute, I heard that wee small voice that said "just dial 911! You dont have to speak, they'll come!" I literally couldn't breathe or call my roommate for help; and that's all I could do is dial those 3 digits. After that, I went unconscious again. As my roommate tells me, he was getting dressed for work when he said it sounded like our door was being beaten in. Thank God they came!! My roommate said it must be my roommate upstairs. I was on death's door step! He tells me they were working on me all the way to the ambulance. I was in ICU for 6.5 days, unconscious 99% of the time, told by family, drs and staff. Do your do diligence and call the medical boards of Ga where you'll be privied to his entire ugly record. Its an Excellent idea to thoroughly check out Any pain management dr you might be planning to see. I'll add the hospital called my mother and said "you better get up now because we dont think she's gonna make it through the night. In closing, I would hope he's grown and learned to understand that these drugs can kill and has taken appropriate steps to better care for his patients. He knew I was in critical condition and not once called my family or the hospital. Proceed with caution! Years ago, I was brand new to field of pain management drs.

I highly recommend Dr Kornfield and his staff, very caring and passionate.

I love this doctor very friendly and caring!!! I highly recommend this doctor to anyone great person!!! Five stars for sure!!!

So sorry to see these sad reviews. Really wish his other long term patients would also take the time to defend Dr K. My husband and myself have been patients of this clinic for 15 years. There were some staff at the beginning that I did not always see eye to eye with, but thank goodness positive changes were made, and those staff have left . The staff remaining are for the most part caring, compassionate and invested . I will admit it's difficult to get much response, if the Dr happens to be out of town, but most of his long term patients have learned ways to work around this process , try to be prepared, sometimes get worked in for nurse visit, etc.. I want to say here that most of us know by now, that Pain Management in this country is becoming very difficult indeed. For any Professional to be willing to keep helping the pain patients who require this care, that in and of itself is admirable. It is also a two way street between you and your Physician .You need to be just as involved in your care as he is, and that means being honest, invested in your treatment and responsible. If you feel you are having problems with a new medication, side effect, it's efficacy for you, whatever, you need to report that immediately. Not every one responds the same, and sometimes even you yourself may take certain meds without incident, yet others with more difficulty. If you are on very many meds, it might be advisable to have Narcain on board at home . Pain management is a tricky thing, and unfortunately it's going to become even trickier in our country. If we can continue to have even a few "Dr Kornfields" spread around, here and there around our country, we are going to be very fortunate indeed! Eventually the risk and 'headache' of it all will force a great many out of these Practitioners into less complicated specialties. I'm not so sure what some of us are going to do then. These are indeed frightening, uncertain times. Especially, for those of us with life altering injuries and health problems, who need these treatment options just to get out of bed each day to be productive members of society. Thank you Dr Kornfield and staff for taking care of us, while you can, as long as you can. Your long term, devoted patients DO respect and appreciate all you do for us and we ARE aware of the intense responsibility that goes along with all of that! So sorry to see these sad reviews. Really wish his other long term patients would also take the time to defend Dr K. My husband and myself have been patients of this clinic for 15 years.

Helped me with all my neck and back issues , I truly appreciate the help of Dr Kornfield and his team of counselor and therapist.

Helped alot with my cervical pain of many years , therapy and counseling was really good also.

Saw Dr Kornfeild for knee pain and managing my medcines, thanks for all the help

Seen the doctor for back pain. Very thorough, listened to all issues. He is a very kind, understanding doctor. Seems to want the patient to be at their best while healing.

Great doctor. Staff is very kind and caring all time. He has helped my back and and leg pain tremendously. The educational classes on how to not over take any medications I may be on is so good. I trust his recommendations. He doesn't just want to take your money and give injections that dont work and not treat you after that. I trust him.

My Mother had been on a pain management regimen for almost 40 years when we arrived. He accepted her case and LISTENED! He heard my concerns (as I'm now her fulltime caregiver with her dementia symptoms coming in and out) and constantly monitors her complete health (mental AND physical!). He's a Very Good Man and Physician.

I would give no stars if possible. It was the biggest waste of time and money. During my 1st visit I am 99% sure he and his nurse violated HIPPA. A nurse kept coming in the room, interrupting my initial consultation and discussed another patient several times in front if me! He does not read nor care about patient history, he automatically ASSUMES that you are going to be a long term patient, on the 2nd visit I waited 2.5 hrs and once the test he performed on my upper extremities was complete, refused to answer any questions once I refused to have unnessary test on my lower extremities. This guy is a money hungry callous crook! I would give no stars if possible. It was the biggest waste of time and money. During my 1st visit I am 99% sure he and his nurse violated HIPPA.

A total waste of my time and money. He didn't really listen to nor addressed my concerns. His one stop shop treatment plan is just a way to bill insurance companies for multiple service. All of which are delivered poorly. PT aides were a joke, lacking appropriate skills. The therapist is the only person who listened. Yet, I didn't feel is was necessary.

They will be interested and concerned for you for a month or so but then start making you take drug classes that are $50 each (three classes total) and no, insurance doesn't cover it. They will cut your medication down til these things are done. Be ready to go to multiple appointments per week (counselor, Psychical therapy, dr appt, etc.) They only prescribe medications for one week, two weeks and if you're lucky three weeks at a time. This makes it very difficult for insurance to pay.
