Rating & Reviews
Our appointment over Zoom with Dr. Molitar went very well and exceeded my expectations. He sent over every thing and was very detailed in the treatment and surgery my son will be needing. He answered all my questions and addressed any concerns we had. He was friendly and very caring about my son and his medical history. We feel confident in the care received and any future care with the provider mentioned above.
Dr Molitor was AMAZING!! For the first time, my daughter felt HEARD about what was going on. He didn't have an answer, BUT he was helpful in working with her and helping to figure out what is going on. I cried with happiness when I got in the car afterwards, and my daughter was OVERJOYED that he was listening to her and willing to work with her. Words truly cannot thank you enough!!!
We appreciated the way Dr. Mollitar looked at our 15 year old son when speaking about the medical questions, rather than over him. We did not feel rushed at all.
We felt very welcomed, respected and informed during our visit.
Thank you for taking care of my son.
We appreciate how Dr. Molitor not only took time to speak to us (the parents), but he also took time to speak directly to our son about his questions and concerns. Dr. Molitor was very knowledgeable about our son's condition and provided the information we needed to make the best informed decision for our son.
very personable and easy going. Very kind and patient. My daughter doesn't take to people in general much less a doctor. She said she likes him a lot. That he's really nice and he's fair. This a lone is a miracle. We greatly appreciate him. Thank you for your kind words and for taking care of my baby girl. (not so much a baby anymore)
Very happy with our meeting. The doctor was very informative and understanding to our questions. Highly recommend and happy moving forward with my son needed surgery.
