"Dr. Collander was easy to talk to, kind and extremely knowledgeable. He thoroughly explained my previous test results, provided his recommendation and options for next steps. He took time to answer all of my questions, including symptoms to watch for and what actions to take if certain symptoms occurred. I felt involved in the decision, not rushed and not pushed into a procedure. I was referred to him for an emergent condition and was able to get an appointment very quickly. He was able to work me in for the recommended procedure the very next day. Highly recommend."
