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.

I had surgery by Dr. Kole 10 years ago. He is one of the most caring doctors I have ever met (and I worked in the medical field for 35 years), and certainly one of the best doctors I have had. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a surgeon.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kole?
My 17 yr old son needed emergency surgery on his small intestine. When I asked Dr. Kole took extra time to show me the imaging scans and explained the situation. After surgery, he came to waiting room to show pictures of what had been removed and also explained what he had done. He tried to do the least amount of surgical "damage" to my son, i.e. not taking out more intestine than absolutely necessary, but was forced to make a larger incision. Overall, I was extremely happy with the results
