I agree with the wait time is one of the concerns everyone may have but to avoid this please go little bit earlier than your appointment time so that you will be called soon and waiting for the doctor is a concern too!

I LOVE Dr. Kolb. She is a wonderful/personable doctor and never rushes any of our appointments…read more My children are rowdy, at times, and one even started to try to climb up on her and she was so polite as I tried to hurriedly get him off of her. I've also seen Saxtena (sp?) and Lee. I prefer seeing Dr. Kolb when I can. She's there part-time, so I don't always get an appointment with her.

Under no circumstances should you ever see Anastasia Kovalaske, the FNP. Terrible bedside manner…read moreand was wholly uninterested in why I was presenting with recurring UTIs. Did not suggest any testing and brushed off my concerns.

Not a fan. Started seeing Dr. Chalian when I was told I had kidney stones. Because I have…read morepolycystic kidneys, the nurse practitioner suggested i have the lithroscopy. Procedure went well but still left 2 larger stones instead of one super large one. Was able to pass one of the halves on my own successfully with no problem. Went back in to see Chalian and he ordered that I have the internal surgery that has potential dangers of tearing. I said no, i didn't want to have the procedure and instead wanted to pass it on my own as I had the other with great success. He got very frustrated with me, tell me I was making a mistake. I assured him I was not feeling any of the pain I was before so why have the invasive surgery? He ordered that I have an ultrasound (very spendy ultrasound!) immediately onsite to prove to me that he was right and it was causing my kidney issue. Results came back that my kidney was just fine, no swelling whatsoever. I confirmed that I would absolutely not be having the surgery and never returned to see him again. Passed the stone just fine on my own with no surgery needed. His attitude towards me, a forty year old female, was that of he knew better than I did about what my body was feeling and that he was going to strong arm me into having the invasive surgery. And all this after I was left to wait in the freezing cold room for almost an hour waiting for him to come in. Finally had to peek out to make sure I hadn't been completely forgotten. Otherwise, reception staff were nice, but wait times there were ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE.

During the procedure he triggered a brain hemorrhage. As a result of the brain bleed, fluid going to her spinal column caused a cyst to fill up and compress her spinal cord.
