Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Always treated like family rather than a patient. Great office staff and Dr. Kolander is always warm, friendly and a great dentist. His dad was my childhood dentist, he is second generation dentist and the location in Old Fair Oaks is always a delight as well. Love the results of my teeth cleaning with Leslie Mohr as well. She's amazing.

If you hate going to the dentist as much as I do Dr Kolander is your ultimate choice. Honestly I used to abhor going to the dentist. Actually I enjoy going to see Dr Kolander and his staff. They are extremely gentle, hospital and I enjoy their friendly manner. I can’t say enough good things about them.

I have been a patient of Dr Kolander since he entered the practice. I would recommend him highly. He is very kind and gentle as well as being great with children. The entire office is professional and welcoming. You feel like family there. Don’t hesitate to trust your teeth to him.
