Happy Patient

“From diagnosis to post surgery, Dr. Borao was the best surgeon for my needs. He was kind, compassionate, and highly skilled. The office visits are efficient, and the staff are personable and professional. I highly recommend this doctor and the practice.”

Satisfied Patient

“Very professional doctors and staff. From my initial visit with Dr. Matharoo and subsequent surgery with follow-up rechecks, everything was handled professionally and thoroughly. I highly recommend this office.”

Thriving Patient
“I definitely made the right choice choosing Dr. P. Kolarsick for my surgery. It is not easy to find a specialist or physician who is trustworthy and professional. Dr. Kolarsick examined me, immediately diagnosed and treated me. I am confident and very trusting of Dr. He is very knowledgeable in his field and takes charge with confidence to resolve issues. I loved his bedside manner. Truly a gentleman and asset in today’s healthcare!”
Thankful Patient

“I can’t express enough how grateful I am to Dr. Matharoo. When I found myself in a life-or-death situation with a burst appendix, he was swift and decisive. His skillful hands worked miracles during my emergency appendectomy and colectomy!

Not only did he save my life, but his calm demeanor also reassured me through the whole process. I can’t thank him enough for his expertise and kindness. If you need a dedicated surgeon, look no further!

Highly recommend!”

Happy Patient

“I’m not sure I would be able to write this review had it not been for the skillful hands of Dr. Borao. The follow up provided by both he and Dr. Dressner were both informative and professional. I felt like I was important to them not just another case and I was treated with compassion and with kindness. The office staff are also warm and welcoming. Whether elective or emergency (as my surgery was), I would recommend this group.”

Satisfied Patient

“My hernia surgery went very well. All the people I interacted with were friendly and professional. I would gladly recommend.”
