I have been a patient of Dr. Koostra's for several years. I find him to be knowledgeable, informative, friendly, a great listener and caring. I always enjoy a good visit with him and feel confident in his approach to my issues. He is on top of what may be going on with me and orders diagnostic tests appropriately. I appreciate the time he spends with me and his explanation of his findings and what I can expect. He is also fun to talk with, having a wonderful personality that will put you at ease from hello.
