Dr. Kollitz was punctual, professional and proficient. All the factors I look for in a good doctor. I’ve been to others Docs but if I have any future issues, I’ll certainly go back to Dr. Kollitz.

Dr Kollitz is the best. She has treated me several times for right hand issues and performed surgery with a successful outcome. She is a great listener and communicator. I really appreciate how she takes the time to clearly explain her diagnosis, treatment options and outcome statistics. She is empathetic and fully present with you. Higjhly recommend her for any orthopedic hand issues.
