Excellent Doctor with amazing diagnosis skills. Very patient and understanding. Explains the illness and remedies very clearly.
I had a frightening headache, I thought it was a stroke, I never have headaches. So I searched for a neurologist and found Dr. Kolla. She immediately started a series of CT scans and meds. She explained after the test, what was happening and worked with me to get control of the situation. She didn't treat me as if I was nuts. I asked questions and she answered, took the time to explain so I could understand. Also very personable. For me, she is a keeper, my go to doctor list.
This woman should not be a neurologist at all and should be banned! She put me on lexapro for four months to treat my depression. After four months, she said I could just stop taking it since I was better and my moods were stable. Since stopping it, all of a sudden I experienced manic episodes, racing heart at night, insomnia, and random arm movements. It was so scary I dont know what was happening to me. My doctor said I should have not stopped a medication abruptly and that being on the lexapro was the cause of it. Dr Koll... read more
They are very friendly and professional.
Would give her zero stars if I could. She does not listen to patient concerns and repeatedly told me I was fine, even when I was in excruciating pain. She COMPLETELY missed that I had two pinched nerves and a slipped disk. This is something a neurologist should not miss. She seems to be in a hurry and tries to get through the appointment quickly. She talks at you rather than to you and seems so convinced she's right, even when patients are telling her that she is wrong and she is missing something. This is why I stopped seei... read more
I don't even mind that the office is really dingy, but Dr Kolla doesn't listen, and instead of asking relevant questions -- let alone providing answers -- she wonders why you have certain symptoms ("why are you walking like that?". In about 5 visits over a year she gave me no clear diagnosis or useful advice whatsoever. Only when I went to another neurologist did I find out what was wrong, and received a specific and successful therapeutic and medical plan.
Barely listens to input from patient and rushes through the appointment. Did not review my test results before I got to the office and then asked me what the results were ("your MRI was normal, right?"). Dismissed my concerns without explaining why and did not explain reasoning behind her recommendations well in general. Absolutely would not recommend.
Dr Kolla treated me for Bell's palsy. She was most available, knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend her.
She has treated me since July ,she had helped a lot to make me feel better. Exellent
