Title: Internal medicine physician
Organization: Novant Health New Hanover Primary Care
What the nominator said: “I learned recently that Dr. Kornegay has approximately 2,000 patients. Maybe many doctors have this many patients ... but the unique thing about Dr. Kornegay is that HE sees these patients when they schedule appointments. He doesn’t send in a PA or the nurse only. He meets with his patients (in office or on Zoom appointments). And, he doesn’t rush the visit …
“When my daughter got very ill several years ago, she was misdiagnosed. And was sent to several specialists for possible help. But, NO ONE could figure out what was wrong with her. At the time, Dr. Kornegay wasn’t her doctor but he agreed to see her once he learned of our distress. The minute he looked at her, he diagnosed her and, once medicines were prescribed, she was on the mend. … Once I shared our story with others, I began to learn that Dr. Kornegay is a ‘hero’ to MANY families. Because of the one-on-one attention he affords his patients, his ability to cut to the chase with illnesses, his medical knowledge, and the dedication of his long-time staff, he is a marvel in the medical field.”
