HI, I just wanted to give a quick update, it's been almost 3 month and Im healing well, I still have some pain on my left arm, specifically under the arm pit, but overall Im happy with my results ans very happy to be myself again. There is one MAJOR concern and it might be a bit early to write about it but I wasted no time to tell the world of my good experience with Dr. Kolb, so I'll do the same with any bad one as well. I just received a bill for $66,000 from their office. YES you saw right, $66,000. again, this just happened and Im trying to contact my insurance. But I cant help feel like somthing funny is going on here. I was told my out of pocket would not be more then $6,000 and thats what I paid. I have emails stating this. Anyways, Im a bit frustrated and worry, and it would be a shame the such a great experience be tarnished by what it can possibly be lies and deceptions . I will update as I get more facts.

It sounds like maybe a typo when the charges were entered (like the '6' numeral was pressed twice). I bill clients and my invoices are rarely "off" except once in a while by .03. .30 or 3.00 because of the arrangement of the numbers on the key pad. Hopefully, you've cleared it up by now. Thank you for your review btw.

My experience with Dr. Kolb

Sarahiris

This is an update relating to my experience with Dr.Kolb. It might be a bit long but I feel most of you would like as much details as possible like I did when I was looking for answers. Speaking about finding answers, I had a terrible experience with Facebook Nicole "Breast Implant illness" page. I truely belive they are benefiting from our doctors, but thats another issue by itself .

My hudsband called Dr. Kolb office in January for a consultation and I had my Implants removed on Jan 17th 2019. From day one Dr. kolb staff was very helpful, we went back and forth with email, and phone calls mainly Insurance questions. I had email Dr.Kolb with questions and concern, she always responded within a few hours or by the end of the day. I live in Connecticut, so my hudsband and I traveled to Georgia for the consultation and surgery with the option the if I didnt feel 100% confident after the consultation, we would just fly back. My insurance would of covered 100% if would stay In Netwok, but Dr.Kolb office were the one who answered all my questions and I felt they were trying their best to help me, so we took the lost, I was very sick. like most of you have read ,there are some bad media about Dr. Kolb, well I read them too prior to my surgery, I was concerned, until I met her. After the consultation, I had no dout I wanted her to take care of me. Dr. Kolb IS NOT your Hollywood 90210 kind of doctor, if you are looking for that, safe yourself the trip, what she is, she is caring and she's knowledgeable. She will let you know about her believe in angels and higher powers, I had no problem with that, In fact, I welcomed it, plus I focus more on the fact the she has over 30 yrs experience and over 3000 precedures done, for me that was way more important. Dr.Kolbs waiting room, is like going to your moms or grandmas house, it has teddy bears, angels, crystals, and magazines, again, do not expect a hollywood kind of place. Her consultation office is the same, some might find it clustered, I found it full of accessible information, some people see the glass half empty, I prefer to see it half full. I would just keep in mind the 30 years experience and the pioneer she is when it comes to Beast Implant Illness. As mentioned earlier,  my Explant and lift was on 1/17/19. I had a wonderful experience with everyone in Dr. kolb staff, they were fun and caring. My hudsband and I stayed in Atlanta for 10 days, so Dr.Kolb removed my drains and stiches, everything so far looks great and most Important I feel great. By the 4th day I was going to the mall, little pay, mostly discomfort. I will post before and after pictures in a couple of weeks, once everything goes back to normal, Im just 10 days post OP. In conclusion, If you are not spiritual type, but is willing to go with a Doctor who cares and understand your problem, Go with Dr. Kolb, I would do it all again if I had to. I have her personal # and I plan on keeping in touch with her, she is a wonderful person whom after the way she took care of me, I consider a friend.  Good luck to all, is a tough journey, but always...always.. keep the faith and belive. God bless.

Can you elaborate on the bad experience with Nicole’s page ? Also how did you come across Kolb?
February 5, 2019
Like many women, I was desperate looking for answers, thats how I came across Nicholes site and thats also how I found Dr. Kolb. On the site I asked about Dr.kolb, , Not 1 person answered, I found it weird, on a later date, someone else also asked about Dr.Kolb and she was told not to mention her name there. I had no idea why. In another occasion, someone mentioned the CDB oil was great for the pain, she also got shut down, "We dont promote product here" she wasn't promoting a product, she was providing help. 3rd, As I mentioned, my hudsband was a big help through out this difficult time, and in fact he was the one by doing reseach the found Nicholes page and told me about it, we both got a lot of useful information from there, anyway, there was someone posting about her unsupporting hudsband, and my hudsband wrote a few words of encouragement from a mans point of view. Everyone replied back with appreciation for what he was doing except someone who manages the site, she asked why was a man in the site, he replied by saying, something like this " I dont think this site should be based on your sex, I was one of those man who at time didnt believe my wife, after research and finding site like this one, I believed and support her. aren't we all adults here" That was the end, we were no longer able to access the site. If we want our hudsband support, why would we closed the doors where they can find how thousands of woman are going through the same thing? It seems to me the Nicholes breasts Implant illness doest not let woman help each other, many woman are desperate like I was and any little information or support goes a long way.
How I found Dr.Kold? Google. The rest is in my story above.
I hope I was able to answer your question.

Yes thank you . Sorry that happened to you I’m not part of the group. I’m just assuming many women aren’t comfortable with a man having that access. It’s been difficult for me to join. I created a profile just to join but have been denied twice . I think they’re just trying to be careful with who has access to that page.
