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.

Dr. Kolmodin is a true gem to his patients and their families. He goes above and beyond and is so kind. He is the best!

Dr.K has been my doctor since I was in 7th grade and I just recently graduated high school. He has made an enormous impact and different in my life. Not only with his kindness and empathy, but as an amazing surgeon and doctor who didn't ever stop trying to get me pain free. He is the BEST doctor ever!

Dr. Kolmodin is Awesome!
My son came in with a broken arm, and Dr. Kolmodin quickly got it back in place, explained what he did thoroughly, followed up to make sure all was going well (which it was), and even remembered details our family! Really, really impressed with his work and overall cheery disposition. I'm glad we were fortunate enough to have him take our issue.

Dr. Kolmodin reconstructed my ACL in May and has been the best doctor I have been to. He cares about his patients and makes sure he does all he can so we make a strong recovery. I would recommend him to everyone who needs an orthopedic surgeon.
