Good exoerience

Dr. Corlson has always made me feel like I was the only patient that she was interested in

Dr. Colson and her entire staff have been perfect. It's the best office that I have been to in a very, very long time.

Dr. Colson is intelligent, caring, thorough and all other good things

Always patient and thoughtful

Dr Colson is a most caring and concerned doctor who has been extremely responsive. She has a wonderful, reassuring manner that immediately reduces stress. I very much appreciate the time and thoughtfulness she exhibits in conferring with me.

She was extremely thorough and thoughtful about my condition and caring about my treatment.

I've been Dr. Colson's patient for 13 year. She's performed six successful surgeries and when I developed pneumonia due to an air leak she saved my life. She is a remarkable person, an even more remarkable doctor - or I don't think she'd be the head the combined thoracic surgery departments - and I count my blessings every day that when my chondrosarcoma matastesized, she drew the short straw and got me. We've been through a lot together, and I'd walk over hot coals for her.

She is always kind, caring, and gets back to you promptly.

Dr. Colson goes above and beyond for her patients! First and foremost, I'm lucky to be under the care of such a gifted doctor. Her expertise means so much! She always makes time for our appointments and is willing to discuss any questions & concerns I have. Although I'm certain that her schedule is full, I always feel like a priority to her and that speaks volumes. I feel confident that I am receiving the best care with Dr.Colson as my doctor.

My 2nd virtual meeting for follow up lung nodules discovered during endometrial cancers. I just need continued surveillance. Dr. Colson was referred to me by my oncologist to do this.

Dr. Colson is a God in my mind. She has been with me with my hernia for years and walked me through the surgery in 2025. Working with her is/was fantastic.

Dr. Colson is simply the best!

She is a wonderful physician who listens, explains things clearly, and never makes you feel rushed. Her warmth and genuine concern for her patients is evident in every interaction. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who needs not only an exceptional surgeon, but a trusted partner in their care."

Dr. Yolonda Lorig Colson is my Thoracic surgeon & we just celebrated the 2nd anniversary of my lung surgery. The wonderful impression I had of Dr. Colson when @ my 1st visit to meet & explain to me what my situation was & how we could go forward & care for me was outstanding. Doctor Colson really took great time with me. She answered every question I could think of, and covered subjects I didn't even consider. I admire the doctor's positive attitude. She was quite honest & sincere. I had my sister [redacted] with me & Dr. Colson welcomed her in the discussion & even answered my sister's concerns, which delighted me. This meeting on [redacted], marked 2 years since my lung surgery & I'm excited to say I'm doing GREAT. Dr. Colson's professionalism, expert knowledge, & engaging personality made me relax & helped me ork out & make what was to be an important life decision. I did indeed choose to have Dr. Colson operate & remove the tumor from my lung. All went as planned. My recover was all we had hoped for. Dr. Colson has kept me in the loop for the last 2 years, as promised. This past visit was excellent as all her appointments are. She treats me with the utmost respect as she has since our first meeting. She still goes over all of my test explaining the results & plans the next steps to ensure my continued good health. Dr. Colson is remarkable, her demeanor has allowed me to carry a positive, healthy, and promising outlook for my future. I am humbled to have Dr, Yolonda Lorig Colson as my Thoracic Surgeon. She is the BEST. My sincere appreciation to the team & staff of MGBH all involved were awesome. Thank you for all MGBH does & this opportunity to express my gratitude. MGBH is #1 in my book.

My appointment with Yolanda Colson was amazing. I have been in medical care for a long time, having a rather complicated personal chart, and I appreciated her depth of knowledge in my own case, and then also in her field. She was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, and I would highly recommend her to any patient as a provider. I appreciate the entire team there, and I really, really hope to be coming back for a long time with this care team.

She's fantastic and I really appreciate the time she took. It would be great if video appointments, there would be a way to say that your physician's running late because sometimes with her and with other appointments, people are just running a little bit behind. It'd be nice to know how long or what have you. Otherwise, it was so perfect a visit. Thank you.
