UofU Patient August 19, 2013We waited a long time to see him then he didn't spend a lot of time with me. He said he couldn't see the issue I was having but would provide a brace. When the gal came in to give it to me she commented on my condition that the doctor couldn't see.
UofU Patient August 13, 2013the only thing i didn't like was that the Dr told me to stop taking ibuprofen, but gave me an Rx for it instead of an alternate

UofU Patient June 24, 2013could not print out the paper i needed
UofU Patient June 20, 2013Dr. K 100% percent satisfied. There was only one problem and that was with the pharmacy. Dr. K wrote me a prescription for my test strips the pharmacy sent me a letter stating that they would no longer be able to send my test strips after the end of the month. they told me they could not fill my prescription and to call Dr. K for a new prescription
UofU Patient June 13, 2013I'm very happy with Dr. K.
UofU Patient June 09, 2013Have difference of opinion about pneumonia shot. I maintain I don't need one; Dr. very strongly recommends because I just turned 65. He did not demand I get the shot and wrote "refused" on my chart
UofU Patient June 04, 2013Dr. Kottarathil has proven to be an exceptionally attentive caregiver and particularly gifted diagnostician. My wife and I repose great confidence in him.

UofU Patient May 21, 2013Excellent Doctor! Would suggest to friends...He Cares and talks to you about what is going on with your body. Definitely a keeper!

UofU Patient March 27, 2013always great experience trust MD fully, great MD knowledgeable, and he cares about his pt, never had bad experiences for last 17 years in Redwood clinic.
UofU Patient March 12, 2013Even the doctor couldn't get me in to see a specialist when needed. 2 weeks seems unreasonably long time especially if a doctor requests it.
UofU Patient March 11, 2013MD Kotharthil is my MD for at least 10 yrs, great doctor.
UofU Patient March 08, 2013I have never seen a doctor that I have as much confidence in as this doctor.
UofU Patient February 26, 2013very good
UofU Patient January 28, 2013Made me laugh more than once. Good medicine.
UofU Patient January 28, 2013I really liked him and would tell others ablut him and will have no problems seeing him again.
UofU Patient January 28, 2013Although a knowledgable Doctor, he was not personable. I would not go back to him due to feeling like he did not care that I was sick or that I wanted to get better. He gave me my medications and sent me on my way. Like a ticket holder at a football game. He told me what was wrong right away and didn't sugarcoat anything like most other doctors do b/c they don't want to get into trouble telling you what is wrong (fearing that they may be wrong).
UofU Patient January 21, 2013good
UofU Patient January 14, 2013The wait to see him was way too long. The blood pressure cuff was broken. They brought in a mobile unit and had trouble getting it to work.
UofU Patient January 14, 2013Doctor did not say what was probably wrong with me, he didn't say anything, just to get some test. He only mentioned what he didn't think it was. Had to ask him about the medicine myself
UofU Patient December 31, 2012He was very nice//percise//exact//sweet and short
UofU Patient December 31, 2012Provider gave the impression that he did not know how to diagnose my problem and it seemed that he normally does not work within the family practice area. There were several times he asked me the same question multiple times. In the end the only diagnosis he had was that it must be the flu or something.
UofU Patient December 10, 2012Dr. Kottarathil, and his staff, were, as always, excellent. I would be hard-pressed to see any other doctor, other than for an annual gyn exam.
UofU Patient December 10, 2012Dr. Kottarhill was amazing at explaining what he thought is wrong with me.
UofU Patient November 26, 2012Very courteous, informative, did not talk down to me, and did not look at the computer all the time.
UofU Patient November 22, 2012I'm very happy with this doctor. I have a comfort level I didn't have with my previous doctor.
UofU Patient November 19, 2012Very thorough and wonderfull Dr!
UofU Patient November 13, 2012dr Kottarathil and coleen or connie his medical assatant are excellent with me. I had reecently moved to Mn and when I returned I went right back to Dr Kottarathil and connie. they welcomed me back and i felt so comfortable and happy to be back because of them
UofU Patient November 09, 2012I originally went in to get a physical done, and it was not completed. They checked me for a different concern I had mentioned to them, but after that the physical was not completed
UofU Patient October 26, 2012The doctor gave me a warm and professional welcome when he first met me. He was very considerate and went to extra effort to make me feel comfortable and not embarrassed when he needed to examine a private area of my body.
UofU Patient September 19, 2012I trust Dr. Kottarathil more than the specialists I see. I would rather just see him.
UofU Patient September 17, 2012Informative, interested & courtious
UofU Patient September 11, 2012Dr. Kottarathil is amazing -- the best doctor in the place. Connie, his nurse, is equally good. I don't remember the name of the CNA who assisted in checking me in, but she was quite nice, as well.
UofU Patient August 28, 2012I checked out 4 or 5 other doctors here, before Doctor Kottarathil. He has been very kind and considerate. I like that he is thorough. He saved me a lot of pain and trouble by finding problems before they became very painful and serious. He does not keep looking at his watch, like one of the other doctors did.
UofU Patient August 01, 2012The provider seemed to be more concerned about my blood pressure (which I feel was not taken accurately) than the issue I was being seen for which was my knee. No explanation was given for my pain, which I am still struggling with. No follow up was indicated to solve the issue.
UofU Patient July 31, 2012Dr. K is a very professional straight forward doctor when visiting him I always feel he has my best interest in mind.
UofU Patient July 17, 2012I like Dr. Katorathil and trust him greatly he is a very good doctor and I would and have recommend him to others
UofU Patient July 13, 2012Dr. K is easy to talk to and listens and understands what I am attempting to explain.
UofU Patient July 11, 2012I served as a medic in the army and my wife is an MSN nurse educator so the language was below what I'm used to. I understood everything but felt I was being talked down to.
UofU Patient July 09, 2012very happy with the doctor and the office staff
UofU Patient July 02, 2012More detail and explanation than I have ever gotten from others. Great job.
UofU Patient June 04, 2012great
UofU Patient April 28, 2012Dr. K is very helpful, funny, and kind.
UofU Patient April 11, 2012DR. is very knowledgeable and explains everything so that we have a good understanding of the problem and possible solutions.
UofU Patient April 10, 2012I've seen Dr. K a few times and this was an easier experience than previously.
UofU Patient April 10, 2012Dr. "K" is the BEST!!!!!!!
UofU Patient April 06, 2012made me feel relaxed, impressed by his knowledge and actually enjoyed the visit.
UofU Patient January 27, 2012Dr. K has been my doctor for more than a decade. He has managed my health conditions superbly, and I have total confidence in his diagnosing and prescribing. I share my visit results with my daughter who is a physician assistant and she agrees, based on her hospital and clinical experience, that I have a good doctor.
UofU Patient January 19, 2012Generally all good.
UofU Patient January 18, 2012No problem with the doctor other than slow arrival time
