Patients appreciate
Dr. Robert Kotas receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients, with the most consistently praised qualities being his attentiveness, patience, and ability to listen carefully to both parents' concerns and children's needs. Reviewers repeatedly highlight his thoroughness during examinations and his skill in communicating directly with young patients, making them feel comfortable and involved in their own care. Many families note his exceptional bedside manner, describing him as kind, professional, and compassionate. His willingness to take time with patients without making them feel rushed is frequently mentioned, as is his ability to explain diagnoses and treatment plans clearly. Several long-term patients emphasize their loyalty, with many families having been with Dr. Kotas for 10-19 years. Additional strengths include his knowledgeability, his ability to connect with children of all ages from infants to teenagers, and his dedication—with one parent noting he stayed past his shift to provide needed care. His staff and office environment also receive consistent praise for being friendly, professional, and efficient.
Patients also share
The reviews contain very few criticisms of Dr. Kotas. One reviewer noted that he "wasn't very friendly but he was fast and knowledgeable," suggesting a less warm interaction than other patients experienced. A few reviews mention that he can be busy and occasionally runs late, though one patient specifically appreciated that he communicated updates about delays. These minor concerns are vastly outweighed by positive feedback, and no significant patterns of dissatisfaction or areas requiring substantial improvement emerge from the reviews.
