In patients' words

"Dr. Kolstoe is interested in the patient's problem, asks questions and then listens... Courteous and very knowledgeable."

— Healthgrades review for Lakewood Health Center provider

"The first thing he tells my brother in front of everyone is that he had 4 months to live. That information should've been kept private... His front office also gets a thumbs down."

— Healthgrades review for Lakewood Regional Medical Center provider

"The decision to withhold basic linguistic recognition—failing to even provide a perfunctory status update—suggests a culture of institutional narcissism."

— Birdeye review for MedNOW Clinics, Lakewood, CO
