TESTIMONIALS:

"I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation by Dr. Korson and the porphyria patient. She told a compelling story about her diagnostic odyssey and life after her diagnosis. This was a worthy prelude to Rare Disease Day."

Lisa Louise Brailey, MD, Technical Director, Clinical Geneticist,
New Haven, CT

"Hearing from people who are directly affected by genetic disease, of the day-in and day-out situations they face, the hurdles they've overcome or how they've gone about managing symptoms gives us an important perspective that makes us more effective health care professionals."

Kathleen Berentsen Swenson, MS, MPH, CGC. Director, Master's Program in Genetic Counseling, Boston, MA
 
“It has been a great pleasure to have Dr. Korson present patients to our first-year medical school class. All of the patients present with a deficiency to digest certain nutrients or store them properly in the body. Years later, students report to me that while they remember only a general outline of specific molecular pathway, they have a vivid recall of the patient’s story. They describe Dr. Korson’s advocacy for the best care that the patient can receive, the patient’s and patient caregiver’s struggle with coping with the medical system to deal with their rare disease, and the importance of a physician to listen carefully and compassionately to the patient’s signs and symptoms to arrive at a correct diagnosis and treatment plan. Dr. Korson has a wonderful rapport with both students and patients alike!  I am thrilled that Dr. Korson is a national leader in the treatment and education for rare, metabolic diseases.”
