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.

She is the best Dr!!!

Strangely entertaining and yet relaxing
I can't believe I'm writing a review about a colonoscopy but by experience was amazing! Dr. Kolkhorst was professional and kind and the process once in the care of her and her staff was absolutely without discomfort. This was my first colonoscopy and I was pretty nervous. My fears were immediately quieted by caring and hilarious nurses as well as by Dr. Kolkhorst herself. In short: it was strangely entertaining, I had a good nap, I got to watch some television undisturbed, someone served me buttered toast and coffee, and I was told I couldn't drive the kids around all day.

I had my first Colonoscopy done October 11th 2017. Dr Kolkhorst was simply one of the finest I have come across. I felt comfortable instantly. Sometimes you just know your in great hands, and this certainly was the case. The procedure went very well with minimal discomfort, another outstanding trait. I recommend Dr Kolkhorst to anyone with the utmost assurance. Its great to know we have Dr.s of this caliber in the Fargo area. Her staff was incredible as well. What a great team! -Kevin C.
