Brian J. Kolender, MD

Feeling good about yourself regarding health and exercise I attribute to our MDVIP doctor. It’s the awareness factor presented about improving our health that starts the journey.
I’ve been retired 15 years and have good health but I’ve developed over a lifetime medical maintenance issues that are part of life. So I set aside five days a week a brisk two mile walk. No it’s not always five days a week but close. Where we live has hills that is an average challenge and it gets easier over time. The end result is tsking in our surroundings and enjoying the seasons as they change. And stopping to chat occasionally with a neigh hood friend.
So this type of exercise is rewarding and more importantly feeling good about yourself

I am very happy I found Dr. Kolender. He always makes himself available to me to when I ever I need him and it's a great feeling to know I have him in my corner! I have never felt rushed or like he was in a hurry, he always gives me the time I need to ensure all my questions are answered. Dr Kolender is making a big impact me, my family and our future!
THANK YOU for all you do DR Kolender!!

We have been with Dr Kolender ( Or Dr K ) as we call him since the beginning of his career. Prior to MDVIP he always took the time NEEDED to address any issue regardless of his large patient list. He held what I will call a seminar for his patients informing us that he was going to join MDVIP. The discussion was in depth and his patients asked questions. From there we saw a difference in his approach which was in depth in many aspects. My journey at first was to loose weight and why it was do important. At 5’-6” and 165 pounds I wasn’t feeling comfortable. I have other maintenance health issues that were somewhat affected by the extra weight. Did I buy in at first or even a few years later no. Did I make an effort to do what Dr K impressed upon me and the long term benefits? Maybe 20%. So going forward I wasn’t feeling comfortable within myself and yes I could hear those conversations from him. So we started eating healthier and exercising. Was it easy- heck no. At that point I felt like Dr K was my coach but without pushing me. I wrestled throughout school so I know what pushing means. His approach, conveying his knowledge and overall support started paying off. It took maybe 5 years of small setbacks but the recovery was larger. A big eye opener was the annual physical results that he went over EVERYTHING! I’m now around 138 pounds at 73 and my inflammation markers have been good and yes there is room for improvement always. I feel very comfortable within myself. What’s important is Dr K with his approach and convincing information has a direct affect on my improvements. Yes one has to buy in to the improvements but when we recognize that the bad stuff taste great that’s convincing! 

This has been a year of multiple and unexpected health challenges for both myself and husband. However, it has been reassuring to have Dr.Kolender respond quickly in a calm and positive manner which tends to reduce anxiety. That's important for me because I have to remain calm to implement whatever recom mendations are offered. Unfortunately, my emergency calls have been on Fridays, poor Doc!
