Dr. Kolodge is cool! I finally got to meet him when I had surgery then met him again for the follow up visit. He is very friendly, honest, and open to answer any questions you may have without rushing you in any way. He makes you feel comfortable like as if he was one of your good friends. Thanks doc. Will be seeing you again!

Out of all the doctors I have visited, Gavin is one of the ones that truly cares. Takes the time to listen and help you figure out the best solution for your situation. Not rush rush off to my next patient. Great guy and Dr, highly recommend!
