First Visit Impression
Dr. Kolovich immediately listened to my concerns and explained why the situation developed and how it will be taken care in a simple surgical procedure. He put my mind at ease and said it was in/out few minutes in doing the procedure. A very confident and comfortable physician to talk to. I was very impressed!

They don't get any better.
Dr. Kolovich is our go-to guy for anything/everything hand/wrist related (I bet his skill set goes way beyond that; we just haven't tested it yet). He's a solid 10/10 in knowledge base, surgical skill, communication, congeniality - and the best part? You always feel like he remembers YOU, not your name on a chart, not that you had a procedure with him sometime in the past, YOU. We (hubs and I) have had a couple of old person hand surgeries with him and when we saw him recently, years after the last procedure, he still followed up on his previous repairs, wanted to see how they were all working out. How cool is that? He's absolutely everything you want your doctor to be; cannot recommend him enough.

No more doubt
I was immediately put at ease when Dr. Kolovich spoke to me about the surgery. I had a few questions which he answered to my satisfaction, and assured me that he was well qualified and had the experience with these particular surgeries. He spent the time with me to make sure that I was making the right decision. Since this was my second visit with him, and my surgery is not scheduled until two months from now, I have no more to say until after the surgery. I am confident that Dr.Kolovich will do his very best for me.
