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.

I was inpatient in 2022 at TMC and Dr. Koleilat refused to see me and diagnosed me with Mal de débarquement syndrome. He refused to come back in my room to address concerns and told me my issues were not neurological. Fast forward to a proper diagnosis of CIDP, many rounds of IVIG a year and half of recovery with PT, OT, Neuro Ocular Therapy, Neuro Cognitive OT and Speech I have recovered. If I had been left up to the zero treatment plan of Dr. Koleilat I don’t think I would have ever recovered. I have gone on to start my own Primary Care to make sure patients are never treated with the disrespect he showed to me as a patient of his.

Dr. Koleilat is my dad's Neuro after suffering massive stroke. His bedside manner is very pleasant. He is kind to my mom and dad and takes time to explain plan of care and test results with us.I missed his visit one time and he made sure to call me up personally to touch base. He is an expert in his field and we trust his judgement.

He is an extremely intelligent Dr who is very serious about his methods and gives very little over to intuition. His bedside manner is poor, he is rude and condescending and uses every opportunity to belittle and insult you. He will take it personal if have an opinion which differs from his. He will not take kindly if you reject any of his tests. Provided you are able to humble yourself, he is good and thorough and clearly a perfectionist who aims to please..someone, but not you necessarily. He will get to the bottom of your problem even if it means killing you to do it. And I do plan to see him again in the future. Wish me luck.

I highly recommend Dr. Koleilat. He takes his time with you, explains his findings and includes you when deciding which procedures are available to you. He is very reassuring and has a positive nature. Low key and knowledgeable. His staff are very helpful and go out of their way to assist you. I found my visits to be very pleasurable.

Was seen in the hospital had a severe reaction to some medication this doctor came in screaming and yelling pulling up blinds took my reflexes I had none he lied on report said I was fine said I refused to respond but didn't ever ask me to blink yes or no which is all I could do! This doctor seriously needs to go back to school to learn to pay more attention to the patient and not lie on his reports to make himself look good shame on him.
