Our doctor was the best part, her and the nurse, from the moment my son arrived, the nurse made him feel very safe and relaxed The doctor was just outstanding, I was not expecting her to be so thoughtful and caring.

I have greatly enjoyed my relationship with Dr. Colcher over the last 13 years. She always treats me like an intelligent person, answers my questions fully, asks very good questions. I'm leaving her practice only because of geographical constraints as I'm getting older, and the highest praise I can give her is that I've chosen a doctor whom she trained. I couldn't say anything better about Dr. Colcher. I recommend her all the time to people I meet who live in the Cherry Hill area.

I have Dr. Colcher for over 30 years for Botox injections for hemi-facial spasms. I am always treated in a caring, kind, compassionate way. I feel like we are friends, not just doctor - patient. I just recently recommended her to a friend with a problem similar to mine. Dr. Colcher is the best. The staff is alway courteous, caring and friendly.
