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.

She Hangs in There
I have been working with Dr Kolstad over the past year. She figured out what was going on with me after one or two visits and has been determined to help me find the right medicine for me. She is personable, patient and she really listens. I trust her completely and recommend her highly. I drive 90 miles each way to see her. So grateful to her for making the quality of my life better with an incurable disease. And she loves dogs.

Very thorough doctor!
Dr Kolstad worked like a detective to diagnose my autoimmune condition. I'm so grateful to her for her skill and extremely thorough questions and examination.
