Dr. Kostman is very good to talk to. He listens and lets the patient decide what they want to do. His bedside manner is excellent. I would definitely recommend him to others.

I was very nervous about seeing a doctor but the pain in my shoulder had exceeded my pain tolerance. Dr. Kostman eased my nerves and made sure I fully understood the steps to my recovery. I am glad to report that I am on my way to feeling 100% better. I have a lot of faith in Dr. Kostman and highly recommend him.

Dr. Kostman is a great surgeon and was very professional and friendly as was his staff. I'm a runner and have had problems with my ankle for over a year. Once Dr. Kostman repaired by tendonitis, I was able to eventually return to running and feel great!!
