From his bedside manner, his skill to his giving his personal cell to everyone. You can’t find Drs like him anymore.

Dr Knolhoff was very kind to me and my family. He sat down and explained everything in simple terms that any one could understand, He was the last thing I saw before going under and the first thing I saw upon waking up. I wish more doctors had the care and compassion that Dr Knolhoff showed!

Dr. Knolhoff made us feel comfortable at my initial consultation. He was informative, courteous, friendly, and had a sense of humor. Dr. Knolhoff removed my Gall Bladder. After a week, everything is healing nicely. Due to the size of my stones, there should only be one incision that will have a visible scar and he made sure it could be easily hidden. When my labs were in, he called me with the results himself and the day after surgery when I had a question, he was available to answer them immediately himself. I was very impressed.

I was very pleased with Dr. Josh Knolhoff. He took the time to explain my procedure to me. Answered all my questions and didnâ??t make me feel like we had to rush through everything because he had other patients to attend to. He always addressed any concerns that I had. Dr. Knolhoff is a very compassionate caring doctor. I would fully trust him and feel completely comfortable if he was to perform surgery on me again. If you are looking for a great general surgeon he is the whole package! I recommend him!
