The ONLY positive thing I can say about this doctor is that he has a wonderful nurse! This doctor has the WORST bedside manner ever! He got upset at me because I asked why some paperwork didn't get sent off when it should have in a timely manner- after diagnosing me with a rare disease. He cussed at me! Threw my file down!!!! I am very shy, and hesitate to ask questions.... And the first time I ask a question- this is what I got! We had to report his behavior to the hospital and they informed us he was under investigation because of the matter.

This dr LOVES his patients! He does not tolerate anybody being ugly to his patients! He is smart, kind, kinda outspoken. He makes you understand what he is saying. He has a very sweet nurse, I would highly recommend him!

Unfortunately, I had to speak to the chief of staff after a "procedure" that Dr. Kohler attempted to provide. He was extremely irritable and easily agitated. Something was very wrong with his bedside manner that day. Very difficult experience. I would not recommend him.
