Aurora Behavioral Health Center

“This review pertains to my experience with Dr. John Korger. I have been seeing Dr. Korger long before he joined Aurora Behavioral Health. He is an excellent doctor, very knowledgeable, kind, attentive and he listens. He has always made sure I was allowed plenty of time during our appointments to ask questions, discuss options and get his feedback and recommendations. What I have always appreciated with Dr. Korger is that our appointments (two to three times/year) are not just a quick medication check, but a true check-in and update - which takes time. However, I give the Aurora corporation about a 3 star review as they seem to approach behavioral health treatment from a strict business model. Mental health issues need time to talk, explore and discuss; not a quick vital check and a shot or medication. Yet, since seeing Dr. Korger at Aurora Behavioral Health in Oshkosh, it appears that Aurora has put unreasonable time limits on therapy appointments and (my assumption), expecting staff to see more patients per day than is reasonable if you are a therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist with Behavioral Health. That seemed to be relaxed some during my last appointment with Dr. Korger and I hope that the concerns I have expressed - and I am sure by others, as well - are being listened to.”

“I’d give zero stars if I could. Avoid Aurora BH like the plague. All they wanna do is pump you full of medications for money. They will happily put you on medications, but as soon as you want to come off, no where to be found for support -which is a very dangerous situation in some cases. Zero support for when you come off meds. It’s the most irresponsible gross misconduct of a hospital I have ever seen. They can’t even backpedal correctly to save their own Backside. They are horrible at communicating, they don’t have consistent messaging for help (everyone has a different excuse of a story or answer), and they don’t listen nor document what you tell them because you just repeat yourself over and over. I honestly don’t know how they are legally operating. Literally go anywhere else but Aurora.”

“Usually they're great but today I took my son in for an appointment that I thought was at 7:45, I got him there on time. The receptionist told me she'd already marked him as a no-show because the appt was at 7:30. She didn't offer any alternatives except to reschedule in November. My son just lost his DAD. Even 15 minutes of talking to the therapist would have helped. I can't believe they turned him away.”

“I have been tossed around with referrals (even waited months for a specific referral, only to be finally seen and told that they referred me to the wrong place, and put me on a wait list AGAIN.) I am done with Aurora.”
