Patient Reviews
Jul 18, 2019
I have been a patient of Dr. Bolen's for many years now. When I was first referred to him by my excellent primary care doctor she told me he was outstanding and I would be in very good hands. This certainly has been the case. In addition, Dr. Bolen is a friendly and caring man in person. I am very fortunate to have him as my doctor.
