Patient Reviews
Oct 16, 2020
I was diagnosed with extreme Crohn's Disease in 2009 and was dying from the disorder. I was on every medication under the sun for treatment but nothing was working. My Dr. sent me to Hershey Medical Center for an examination with Dr. Koltun and he told me that I needed to be in the hospital immediately. Dr. Koltun was extremely thorough, professional and compassionate. After we went over the results of his exam. It was decided that at this point, surgery was the only option to save my life. A few days later the procedure was done with much success and the operation saved my life. Dr. Koltun's follow up care was incredible and he told me whatever I needed or any questions that I had moving forward regarding my post op treatment, that I was to immediately get a hold of him to address any concerns. I did have a few questions following my surgery and usually within 24-48 hrs., I had a response from Dr. Koltun. 10 years later I am alive and kicking and I would recommend Dr. Koltun anyone!
