Patient Reviews
May 17, 2022
The office staff were cordial, his Medical Assistant was very professional and answered my questions. Dr. Koster was very thorough and explained things in clear and concise terms. He took his time to make sure I understood and asked if I had any questions. A very pleasant first visit. Will leave another review after my surgery.

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
