He stated that he was on call during our appointment and that was why it took him so long to see us. Its frustrating that he would be on call while also having scheduled appointments. My daughter deserved better care.

Jesse has been a patient of Dr Bollo for 5 years. He has always been so helpful, caring and supportive of Jesse. We cannot thank him enough for his care to Jesse.

Dr. Bollo has been a shining light in an otherwise difficult chapter of our child's life. He is a phenomenal care taker and we LOVE him.

Dr. Bollo is awesome, he is understanding. I loved that he asked our son questions even though he is non-verbal.

my husband tried to reword things and ask Dr. Bollo if that’s what he was saying, & several times he said no, and then repeated the same thing my husband said. He just seemed proud.
