I recently decided to have my inguinal hernia repaired. My hernia was quite large and had bothered me for many years. I chose Dr. Botolin to perform this surgery as I knew it was not going to be a simple repair and after researching surgeons I found that Dr. Botolin fit my requirements as an experienced surgeon who cared about her patients.
At my pre-op appointment, Dr. Botolin explained thoroughly what I could expect and answered all of my questions and concerns. After my surgery, Dr Botolin took the time to share with me the facts that my hernia was worse than expected and was a complex repair. Currently, I'm three weeks post-op and I'm healing well.
Dr. Botolin, in my humble opinion, is a surgeon who is second to none. I would highly recommend her to all my family, friends and those whom need a great surgeon. I know I won't hesitate to do so.

My parents are in their 70’s now so I had fair share of visiting doctors in Colorado Springs for all these years. I have never had a doctor like Daniela Botolin, compassion, true care to help her patients. Very personable and loving doctor. Especially in times like now, we need more hold hands and understanding and that is exactly what you will get with Dr. Botolin. Highly recommended- you will not be disappointed! Thank you Dr. Botolin for all that you do to help people every day. This world needs more doctors like you!
THANK YOU

Dr Botolin saved my life and I couldn’t be more thankful for her! My appendix burst sometime in August, and through some miracle my organs worked to keep me alive for a whole month before I had emergency surgery with Dr Botolin in September. I was very scared both before and after the surgery, and she was just so comforting, professional, and sweet that I am tearing up even thinking about what a difference she made as I’m writing this. She made me feel so much better even when I was crying. She made sure to hide one of the scars in my belly button just right so that my belly button piercing would cover it. (Her idea!) I just can’t express my love and appreciation for her enough and I’ll never forget her! She has a great sense of humor and is very, very skilled at what she does. If you have surgery with Dr Botolin, know you’re in good hands and she will take care of you all the way!

Dr. Botolin is good at what she does but she prescribed a medication I had already said I don’t tolerate well and a muscle relaxer that my insurance didn’t cover. When my family called about the medications issues they were told the Dr. was busy and probably wouldn’t call anything else in. She didn’t and I ended up recovering from ventral hernia surgery on Motrin, Vit C, and Tumeric. During appointments she is short and answers in a manner that says, “you should trust me, not question me.”
I’m glad she is a good surgeon but pain management and bedside manner are part of being a good doctor. I wouldn’t go to her again.

I went in today to see Dr. Botolin for my 2 week follow up appointment, but wanted to share my experience with you about her as a doctor. If I ever have to have surgery again, there is no other Dr. I'd want to take care of my surgery but her.
Not only is she a magnificent knowledgeable Dr. , but is kind and compassionate. A perfect combination.
I had a blockage, from a previous surgery from another Dr. that failed. She was the perfect Dr. for the job, and had to remove old tissue using robotics, not an easy task, but she did it perfectly, thoroughly, and precisely.
She is the ultimate surgeon, I had total confidence in her, and she didn't fail me one bit.

Dr Bololin removed my gall bladder on 2/24/20. She was very skillful and I had a painless recovery. Her bedside manner was extremely friendly and she saw to all my needs and questions. I would highly recommend her as a surgeon.

Dr Botolin is a very caring surgeon who explained everything that would take place.
I felt well taken care of and she said the colectomy surgery I had went perfect.

Dr Botolin is amazing! She truly listened to the details of our situation and the time issues we had. She worked at getting my surgery done as soon as possible so I could get well and meet my demanding schedule. Her knowledge of Hernias is very evident in a few minutes in speaking with her. She truly cares for her patient and she takes time to explain the why and the what needs to happen. I will recommend everyone, who needs her expertise with enthusiasm. If you request her you will not be disappointed.

We met Dr. Botolin in the emergency room She was amazing We can’t thank her enough for the care and expertise throughout my husband care. He had been seen 4 times in the emergency room by other doctors for severe pain. Gallbladder was finally removed by this wonderful lady. She actually listened to what we had been telling everyone. Dr. Botolin has our highest recommendation to anyone needing surgery. She is the best!!

We were very pleased with the surgery Dr. Botolin performed on Robert Winford. Without her expertise, skill, and knowledge of gallbladders, Robert would not have lived. Her report stated that "the mucosa was locally ulcerated over an area measuring 4x3.5 cm." Robert was initially diagnosed with congestive heart failure, hypopoxia, fever, and overall malaise, continuing for two weeks in the hospital. Dr. Botolin was called into surgery when recognizing a ruptured gallbladder.

Dr. Botolin did a great job this was my very first surgery to get my gallbladder taken out so I was a little bit scared she reassured me things would be fine she took a big load off of me mentally when she completed my surgery I had minimal pain she had to really put in the work because I’m a big over weight man so I’m sure it was twice has hard to do the great job that she did I’m totally grateful for this amazing doctor and I would not hesitate to recommend her for any new patient

My 10 year old son needed to have his appendix removed recently (emergency) and Dr. Botolin did the surgery. I was very impressed with her warm, caring and compassionate personality. She explained everything and put me as ease, as much as a father could be put at ease. I would highly recommend her!
