In practice in Orange County since 1988, Dr. Korber is a highly trained obstetrician-gynecologist who can be found on staff at Hoag Hospital Newport Beach. She is committed to giving exemplary care to every patient she sees.

In 1995, she co-founded Newport Beach OB/GYN, one of the largest and busiest groups at Hoag. After 20 years in practice, she elected to open her own private gynecology office. She also served on the Board of Directors for Hoag Hospital 552 Club and on the Board of Directors for Greater Newport Physicians. 

Hoag Hospital Newport Beach is an acute care, nonprofit hospital located on California’s Orange County coastline between Los Angeles and San Diego in Newport Beach. It offers a comprehensive mix of health care services, including institutes specializing in care for cancer, heart and vascular, neurosciences and women’s health, and orthopedics through Hoag’s affiliate, Hoag Orthopedic Institute.

A 1984 graduate of the University of Illinois College of Medicine, Dr. Korber went on to perform her internship and residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Michigan Hospitals. This was followed by an additional residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.

A Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the doctor is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). The mission of the ABOG is to define standards, certify obstetricians and gynecologists, and facilitate continuous learning to advance knowledge, practice, and professionalism in women’s health.

Obstetrics and Gynecology is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics and gynecology. An obstetrician-gynecologist, or OB-GYN, is a healthcare professional who specializes in female reproductive health.
