Extremely disappointing. Impressed at first but I really had my eyes opened on visit 4. I discovered that he was flat-out dishonest. I was so upset. There's nothing worse than a dishonest healthcare professional. Don't be fooled. He wasted my time, and effort as well as that of my family. I underwent unnecessary, painful, treatment and was given misinformation. Ugh. So bad.

I found Dr. Koelbel to be a very good diagnostician and quite helpful. He took the time necessary to accurately assess my physical complaint. I also appreciate his frankness which gives me a more realistic approach towards treatment.

He's very polite and competent. I trust his diagnosis and he tells the truth which can help the patient.
