Patient Reviews
“Dr. Blackwood was friendly, smiled, laughed, and provided the information I needed. I believe his surgical technique is among the best. I have had very few complications with my recovery. He was recommended to me by my physical therapist as having the greatest skills in the area.”

“As I am still injured, and in a cast, it is difficult to write much now. I think Dr. Mayo is not only exceedingly competent but also very kind and encouraging. I appreciate her taking the time to understand my orthopedic injuries and my complex social situation as a caretaker for my husband. I also appreciate her responsiveness to my questions on the portal. Finally, I think Adrea is a lovely person, and her cheerful demeanor helps a lot when one is in pain. I am a retired lawyer and law professor and have encountered many professionals during my lifetime...I greatly appreciate the professional services I have received from your facility.”

“I had an appointment with Dr. Kollitz for trigger fingers. I am a pianist, and I was very impressed when I read her medical credentials and even more so after visiting with her. She explained the condition to me in easy-to-understand terminology, and we decided on steroid injections. I was expecting them to be very painful, but the level of pain was very tolerable. I only saw her yesterday, but I anticipate a great result and only wish I had seen her earlier! The office staff was also very friendly and helpful.”

“Dr. Kollitz took the time and answered all my pre-surgery questions and concerns. The surgery went very well, and recovery is better than expected. The incision scar is very clean-looking. Appreciate her professionalism.”

“I am so totally in awe of Dr. Kathleen Kollitz. My surgery was a smashing success, and I'm blessed to have hands that work again and don't hurt. My recovery was so much easier than I had imagined. I would so wholeheartedly recommend to anyone to her who was having the issues I had. She was professional, confident and made me feel very comfortable about the procedure before we began.”

“I consider Dr. Dolbeare one of the finest surgeons I have ever met. His work on my left knee for a total replacement was superb. I have him to thank for extending my athletic experience at this stage of my life which means a great deal to me dearly. Having two good legs will also allow me to provide care to my wife as her primary caregiver as she endures dementia and recovery from a broken hip. I very much enjoy the conferences that Dr. Dolbeare and I have concerning my knee. He is as fine a human being as he is a surgeon. Thanks for having a person/provider of his caliber on your staff.”

“Positive experience with Dr. Voss. He explained the procedure prior to surgery. Information provided in post-op office visits was helpful in recovery and therapy.”

Treating Doctor: Lynn A. Voss, MD
“Dr. Kollitz is excellent in all regards, from the first visit to the final post-surgery checkup. The experience was nothing but a professional and, most important, successful remedy of my issue. This being my first experience with Dr. Kollitz was not my first experience with your organization. And, as with all previous encounters (Dr. Blackwood and Dr. Leland, "problem" was resolved thoroughly. Believe me when I tell you that you folks set the bar for professional medical quality and patient care at a much higher level ... and I have had enough experience to attest accordingly. I am in debt to the talented surgeons with whom I've had the good fortune to help me, Dr. Kollitz being the most recent. Thanks to all.”
