Dr Kolavo is an excellent Physician. His experience is evident in how he treats his patients. He’s extremely knowledgeable and he explains your condition so that you fully understand what’s going on and the treatment involved. Everyone in his office from the receptionist to the X-ray technician and of course his nurse Ms Alaina worked together as a cohesive team.

This was the first time I ever Dr. Kolavo. He is such a kind and caring doctor. He tested different things with my legs and arms and wrote his findings down. Then ordered an MRI. He wanted to make sure he knew what was going on with me before jumping the gun on any predictions he may have had. He took his time talking to me too. Not once did I feel rushed or uncared for.
