I was a patient of Dr Corbett. When he said he was retiring I had to seek another rheumatologist. That saddened me because he was such a great doctor with great bedside manner. We would talk about traveling and skiing. Maybe rest in peace, Cindy A.

On behalf of his former patient, Karen Hegler, my condolences to Dr Corbett's family & friends. Karen adored Dr Corbett, and always spoke very highly of him. He was easily the best doctor she ever had, and she had a few.

Dr Austin Corbett
Was my Arthritis Dr. for over 30 years. He was a great Doctor.
When I would come in for an appointment we would talk about condition and how I was doing. Then we would talk about anything and everything. The Tour de France was a big talking point. Until Lance Armstrong screw up.
So sorry for your lost. He was my favorite Doctor.
Davey Jones.
