Biography
Jessica Korman, MD might not have expected to pursue a career in medicine when she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Religion and Middle East Studies from the University of Rochester where she was also elected to Phi Beta Kappa, but after spending a year studying abroad in Egypt and Israel and volunteering with Physicians for Human Rights, she was well prepared to do just that. Following her certificate from the post-baccalaureate pre-medical program at Georgetown University, Dr. Korman moved to New York to earn her medical degree from The Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
It was during training that Dr. Korman developed a strong interest in inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer screening, anal neoplasia, and the prevention of anal cancer. She was recognized by the Division of Gastroenterology at Montefiore Medical Center with the Dr. Marcel Zimetbaum Complete Physician Award, which is given to the physician who most consistently brings care, compassion, kindness, comfort and knowledge to his or her patients’ care and has been consistently named a “Top Doctor” by her peers in Washingtonian magazine.
