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.

Highly recommend Dr. Cole
I had double knee replacement at 47 years old. Dr. Cole did both at the same time. My right knee was stiff 1 year prior to being replaced and gave me a lot of issues until I got range of motion back. Took about 1 year for the right and days for the left. I was a terrible patient, but Dr. Cole was the absolute best and I would go again. He explained in great detail, and left no surprises. It has been 10 years now. Best thing I've ever done. I got my life back.

Dr. Cole is an excellent orthopedic surgeon. He replaced my right knee so perfectly I was up and walking the next day with almost no pain. He was also very relatable and compassionate. I would recommend him highly.

I had 2 TKR by Dr. Cole and everything went fine. Dr. Cole is a very caring Nad compassionate Dr. The key to recovery is doing your exercises and listening to your PT. Thanks to everyone at Sun Ortho & Evan for the excellent care.

Unfortunately my experience with this doctor was less than satisfactory. First and only visit was to access and treat knee pain. I explained my pain and discomfort and he and I agreed to cortisone injection for treatment. We are 2 1/2 weeks later and the knee is still not improved. A week earlier I finished added pain medication I was taking to make it through each day. Last week I made repeated calls to the doctor for additional pain medication and he never responded. Today I called could not
