Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Where is he practicing now?

I would give Dr. Kolker a 5 star rating
Dr Kolker would tell you in advance when he had to move you head so as not to startle you.

Dr. Koller was very welcoming from the start. He performed a comprehensive exam of my child and was able to give us answers right then and there. Virginia the surgery coordinator kept us in the loop and let us know everything we needed to do before surgery.

The Best ENT that I have been to.
Dr. Kolker is the best ENT that I have ever come across. He is down to earth and will tell you exactly what is going on. He is honest, up front. I have known him for almost 20 years and if he can take care of your problem, he will. If not he will let you know who he feels you should go see. He is a true professional, and he is more then 5 star's in my book! THANK YOU, YOU ARE THE BEST.....

I’ve been seeing Dr. Kolker for years now for different issues and he’s always been nothing but a pleasure! My mom, sister and husband have all seen him as well and we all say the same wonderful things about him. I wish he could be my doctor for every thing! His bedside manner is that great and he treats you more as a person than just a patient that he’s treating. I will always go to him for any ENT issue and will always recommend him to other people I know as well.
