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.

Rude bedside manner
She tries to talk down to her patients and is very snippy and rude. If you don't want to work or be a Dr. THEN DON'T! Otherwise do your job! If my parent hadn't already been a patient of hers when I stepped in to help them for 10 years I would no longer take him to her office. I've had to get snippy back with her multiple times because I refuse to be treated that way. It's just ridiculous. Her office is constantly apologizing for her rudeness. It's very hard to get an elderly adjusted to a new Dr. so I chose to keep him with her.

Does not listen to your concerns
I am a 34 year old female. I went into Dr. Kolody's office to have her as my primary care physician. I filled out a questionnaire before I went in, and Dr. Kolody then asked me all the same questions on the questionnaire. When I asked her what the point of the questionnaire is she got snippy with me. I then asked her to continue my prescription for anxiety medication and she prescribed me the wrong dose. I had to go back and forth with her doctors office for weeks to get it correct and in the mean time ran out of medicine. I tried to have my old doctor's office even send her the script and they would not allow it. I told her I want to get pregnant and asked for tips. She said eat healthy and exercise. Duh. Not helpful, tries to get me out of the office as soon as possible, and talks down to me. Will not return.

Put one star because I couldn’t put zero. Horrible doctor. Kept me waiting an hour and then when she finally decided to come into the room she was so rude I almost walked out. Only went to see her because my regular doctor was on vacation. Next time will wait for my regular doctor. Will never see her again.

HORRIBLE doctor!! She never knows why you are there to see her, she doesn’t review your files before seeing you and you have to spend 20 minutes catching her up. Twice I have waited 45 minutes for her to come into the room. Today’s visit she was done with the patient ahead of me and 25 minutes later I told the girls at the desk that I had another appointment and was leaving and they had to go get her from her office to see me. The last visit I was the only one in the parking lot and the only one in her office and she made me wait 40 minutes in the room before she graced me with her presence. I told her the anti inflammatory that she prescribe me wasn’t working, and she wanted me to list all of my medications. She had the computer open right in front of her, and she got real snippy when I said I didn’t know, and she told me she didn’t know either. SHE’S THE ONE THAT PRESCRIBED ME THE MEDICATION!! The girls at the desk said “I’m sorry, but she’s really slow”. Never again!

I had a very pleasant experience as a new patient of Dr. Kolody's. After reading some reviews to find a new doctor in the area, I was a bit disappointed that she was the only family doctor at Johnson Memorial accepting new patients. However, she was very thorough with me, really learned my medical history, and answered all of my questions. I never felt rushed. She was direct and to the point with very little chit chat, but I preferred this. The nurse and office staff were all exceptional.

She is very arrogant and doesn't let you finish telling her what is wrong before she cuts you off and tells you how annoyed she is she has to do her job. She is rude and I feel doesn't care about her clients. Her attitude is horrible and she just doesn't care about the patient.
