Dr. Kolavo did a thorough exam and took the time to explain everything and answer my questions.

1. Your inquiry is premature. Until I follow up on Dr. Kolavo's recommendations, I can't really evaluate the services I received from him. 2. Dr. Kolavo's "bedside manner' is abysmal. He delivered bad news in a manner totally devoid of warmth or compassion. He offered several options for treatment but did not give me nearly enough information to meaningfully compare the ramifications of each, and I was too overwhelmed by the diagnosis to come up with appropriate questions on the spot.
