Nephrology is a specialty of medicine and pediatrics that concerns itself with the kidneys. It is the study of normal kidney function and kidney disease, the preservation of kidney health, and the treatment of kidney disease, from diet and medication to renal replacement therapy. Nephrologists have advanced training in treating kidney disease. They diagnose and treat kidney failure, as well as help patients by prescribing medications, offering special diet advice, and coordinating dialysis care when the time comes. 

Internal medicine or general internal medicine is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of internal diseases. Physicians specializing in internal medicine are called internists.

Among his numerous accolades, Dr. Kolasa is the recipient of Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2017, 2018), On-Time Doctor Award (2014, 2015, 2017, 2018), and Patients’ Choice Award (2014, 2015, 2017, 2018).
