Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My children love her... She listens and truly cares for her patients.

We love Dr. Colbath. We feel she listens to us as parents and includes us in the decision making of our children. We feel she weighs all options before making a medical decision that would be in the best interest of our child. My kids love her. One of our kiddos has a genetic disorder and we feel she is very knowledgeable about how to get our daughter the best help possible.

Dr. Colbath has taken wonderful care of my boys for the last 5 years. She is very thorough, takes her time, listens, explains, and does everything she can to make an uneasy situation as comfortable as possible for the kids. My sons actually enjoy going to see her; kids enjoying a doctor visit, what does that tell you? She has demonstrated her professionalism and depth of knowledge on many occasions, and I feel immensely blessed to have her in our lives. I highly recommend her to all! 5 stars! :)
