First and last visit with doctor Kolton. First of all when a chield is terrifying and crying in your office how about you take a little time to calm him down and see what is the problem. Very unprofessional. She was talking very loudly for some reason. And when she left the office she slammed that door so hard, very disrespectful.

I had heard good things about Dr. Kolton and her ability to work well with children. I on the other had feel the complete opposite. She was rude, abrasive, and extremely impatient with my four year old child. My daughter is not always the most cooperative, especially if she is scared. Instead of calming my daughter and making her feel comfortable, she stated this is not normal behavior and became very impatient. I became stressed and let's just say, I will never go back. I do not recommend Dr. Kolton for young children.

My Daughter had some issues with her eyes and I felt it was better to visit an Ophthalmologist vs. an Optometrist . Dr. Kolton was courteous, patient and very thorough. She also made my 13 yr old daughter feel comfortable. I was very impressed with Dr. Kolton and will be back to the practice again! Cheers-

Dr. Kolton has a special way with kids. It is hard to get toddlers to sit still during an eye exam, and her manner for getting them to stay on task is excellent. She is extremely thorough and answered all of our questions. My twins are in great hands with Dr. Kolton.

I was extremely pleased with this experience! Dr. Kolton made this experience for my child very comfortable. My daughter was very nervous about seeing another doctor after getting shots at the pediatrician. Dr. Kolton was warm and related well to my daughter. She took the time to explain what she was doing. She accurately diagnosed the condition and my daughter is doing great since seeing Dr. Kolton!
