Dr. Jack Kolenda

Dr. Kolenda is an amazing Surgeon.I am a 66-year-old grandmother and although I thought I was ready to grow old gracefully…I found myself looking at facelift photos. My eyelids were disappearing, my neck was sagging, and I just did not feel good about myself. I lost my sister to COVID, which made me realize just how short life really is, so I started researching.Dr. Kolenda is a certified member of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and a member of the American Board of Otolaryngology. He is one of the top facial plastic surgeons in Canada and I can now personally attest to this. The invisible incision areas are a testament to his skill level.Dr. Kolenda is very personable, and he immediately made me feel at ease, answering all my questions and providing me with the information I needed to make an educated decision. After careful consideration, I decided to proceed with a face lift and from the time of the booking, everything was managed with precision and care. The day of the surgery went smoothly, and I felt comfortable knowing I was in the best hands possible. The Anesthesiologist was a wonderful Doctor, and her professionalism and bedside manner could not have been better.From pre-op to post-op, the entire team was amazing. The consultation and administrative staff at Verso Surgery Centre are wonderful to deal with…they are obviously dedicated to making the customer experience pleasant and positive. The Centre is an exceptionally clean, sterile environment which is so very important. Even the little things they did, like having the medications delivered directly to my home were appreciated.The nurses are highly qualified and the care and attention I personally received from Czarina was second to none. Czarina is an amazing professional and my pre-op and post-op visits have been far more enjoyable due to her expertise.I cannot thank Dr. Kolenda and his team enough for making my experience a positive one. The saggy neck is gone, and you can see my eyes, but the best part is, I still look like me and I feel happy and positive. Yes, there was pain, but it was managed effectively, and the benefits definitely outweigh the discomfort. It was the right decision for me.Dr. Kolenda is a highly skilled surgeon, and I would highly recommend him.

Terrible experience had a nose job done by Dr.Jack and after wards in recovery at Oakville Trafalgar Hospital he never wrote for any pain meds the nurse said he didn't prescribe any pain meds it was a horrible nite in pain then, I phone there office and he finally prescribed them gee Thanks should have done it earlier and now I can't see him now because he decided to do cash only jobs now because he stopped taking ohip. Now have everyday since the operation a constant head-aches and white mucus coming from my right nostril and have a infection and my eye-lids are puff up like water blisters now I call and they said go find another Doctor he's not seeing you Thanks for leaving me in this terrible condition Buyer Beware!

Came in 8 months ago for consultation, for Blepharoplasty. I am extremely happy with the approach the doctor had with me and giving me his honest opinion about the procedure. I did not have any ounce of pressure to do the surgery, they just helped me understand the procedure, and the recovery process which really helped me make my final decision on having this surgery done at this clinic. I loved the service I received and truly believe that this clinic was the best choice for me. I have full trust in the doctors and their capabilities, and I vouch for this clinic.

I just had surgery 2 weeks ago to remove Nasal Polyps. Dr. Kolenda had advised me that this surgery would improve the quality of my life and he was right. I now have my sense of smell back. I can now taste my food better than I ever had before. I can also breathe so much better through my nose. Thank you so much Dr. Kolenda, you're amazing at what you do. I also would like to thank his staff members as they were very helpful and kind.

After 20 years sinus infections. And over 10 specialists. Dr. Kolenda was the only doctor that cared to fix my know. The moment I opened my eyes after surgery, I knew that Dr. Kolenda fixed my nose. I haven't had a sinus infection since. I am so happy.GREAT Doctor!!!Professional staff!

I had a problematic and growing saliva stone that was giving me a substantial amount of discomfort. I went initially to a surgeon that said he needed to make a cut on the outside of my throat to remove the enlarged stone which is risky. Dr Kolenda not only removed the stone successfully but he did it from inside my mouth. Dr Kolenda and his staff made all the arrangements for the surgery and since I have limited family he also arranged for my stay at the hospital for one day after the surgery as well. I also want to say that the surgery was back in June of 2019. It has been a year and 10 months that all is well and good.I want to thank Dr Kolenda for his expertise and his considerations and as his staff. Thank you so much and thank you for truly taking care of me.Joe Pesce

Upon referral from Emergency Department during a weekend I was pleasantly surprised to get a call early in the day on the following Monday and an appointment to be seen by the doctor later that same day. Dr Kolenda was polite, professional, even reassuring during my visit. However...My condition got better, then worse again in the course of 7-10 days. When I called back for a follow up, I was refused and told I would have to seek out another referral from Emergency or GP. Several days later I was back to Emergency and requested another referral but this time my referral was sent to a different doctor, not sure why, and it took 10 days for that office to even call me.Delays in treatment have severely impacted my health in a very negative way! Simply unacceptable to refuse the follow up request!!

4 years ago, Dr Kolenda botched my surgery so bad, I'm house bound, can't drive, read, even taking my dog for a walk has NO joy because I feel the scar tissue every second. I'm just existing, I have no life. He took no responsibility for his mistakes, nor would he help me by correcting it, if I could get rid of the scar tissue, I could get my life back!Please don't let him operate on you. Dr Kolenda why can't you give me my life back by removing the scar tissue in my right eye? I have to LISTEN to my Bible instead of reading it! You have taken my independence away from me! How do you sleep at night knowing you ruined my life? If you value your life, don't let him TOUCH YOUR FACE!

I have no words to describe how well Dr. Kolenda did on my rhinoplasty. I'm 4 months post operation and the recovery has been going great. The first few weeks were a bit harder for me but so worth it, I am very pleased with everything and want to thank the staff and the doctors who made the magic happen!
