About Steven J. Korenstein
Dr. Korenstein was born and raised in southern California where he completed his undergraduate degree in environmental biology and a master's degree in environmental and occupational health at California State University, Northridge. Before entering the medical profession he served as an environmental health specialist for the Los Angeles Unified School District and as a staff scientist for the California Environmental Protection Agency where, along with his other duties, studied and published in the area of environmental exposures which cause lung disease. Dr. Korenstein obtained his medical degree at Ross University School of Medicine and completed residency in Family Medicine at Mercy Health Systems in Janesville Wisconsin. After finishing residency in 2012, Dr. Korenstein joined the faculty in the department of Family Medicine at Mercy and spent several months training new residents. He is married and spends most of his free time chasing his two children and his dogs (sometimes the other way around.) He and his family enjoy traveling, hiking, camping, and most sports, though you may just find him in any local hammock. If so, leave him be, he is exhausted!

Providence Patient
My last visit with the doctor was a constructive one. I left feeling that Dr. Korenstein would follow through on his diagnosis. My new prescription was ready the next day, and I have a tentative appointment In January. In three previous appointments, I have felt Invisible. After being Interviewed by student Interns, at least three or four people would stand before me In the front of the exam room to hear what the doctor had to say. As I was the only one seated, I felt uncomfortable with everyone watching to hear what the news was going to be. This Is not the best way for me to absorb Information from a doctor. .

Providence Patient
My blood pressure had risen much higher than is normal for me. I called on a Thursday to make an appt and they got me in the following Monday. Dr. Korenstein talked to me for a while, ordered blood work immediately following the appt and scheduled a follow up for a week later to go over everything. I was very happy with how quick they got everything done and my lab results were in my chart that afternoon.
Providence Patient
Took time to go over my issues and willing to give me a referral to rehab or a shot in future for a knee issue if I change my mind. I decided to wait at this time. Visit was a good experience.
