Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

She finally got me onto a nasal spray that works!
I was very hesitant, but I became a convert to a different protocol for treating chronic sinus congestion. It took me some time to adjust, but I am glad I finally did.

Dr. Cockerill, ENT
Dr. Cockerill keeps me hearing. I am thankful and fortunate to be a patient of this amazing practice. My recent surgery was a success along with the other care I have received. She is the best.

Professional, friendly, caring
Dr. Cockerill performed my sinus surgery at Christus Santa Rosa hospital in San Marcos a couple of weeks ago. From the time I first saw her I had a good feeling that she knew her business. Her staff is friendly and knowledgeable as well. The first follow up went as smoothly as the surgery. My experience with Dr. Cockerill at Christus Trinity Clinic in San Marcos has been very comforting and I highly recommend her to anyone needing ENT care. She uses the latest medical technology to accomplish the best outcome for me, and most likely for all of her patients. Everyone that I have come in contact with through her care, including all of the personnel that greets you, schedules appointments, etc. have been a joy to deal with. They are all unsung heroes.

Dr. Cockerill zeroed in on my symptoms and I was feeling better within a week. She quickly found I head loss o herring in one of my ears and spent time to slowly clean and scope. Very professional!
