    Dr. Kolli was completely engaged during our visit. Prior to the visit, he requested imaging that was very helpful in clarifying the current situation. He listened to my situation without any interruptions and asked thorough questions. He explained my situation in easy-to-understand language, used the imaging to further explain. He was the most attentive doctor I have ever met with, and I felt like he was truly there to focus on me and my situation. He did not make our appointment feel rushed and I truly felt heard. I cannot recommend him enough.

    I really appreciated his clear and detailed explanations, and also walking me through the scans (which no one had done before). It was super helpful. He was also patient with my questions and I feel very well-informed and clear on the path forward. It was a great experience overall.
