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.

Dr. Coia is a terrific doctor. I wouldn't want anyone else. He listens to me and is very thorough. He doesn't treat me like a frail, old lady which I appreciate. His staff is the greatest. I enjoy talking with them. They are very courteous and friendly.

He and his office staff are patient, empathetic, and understanding. They take their time with the patient; obtaining important paperwork to the visit itself and then the follow up. Highly recommend Dr. Coia and his practice.

Out of touch
My first appointment was an interrogation along with him bashkng a previous doctor of mine. I then had lab work done with some serious results that needed to be discussed. Instead, he continues to interrogate me about past doctors and a previous drug screen performed that I did not sign any consent for. I am on methadone and this is why people with my background have a hard time telling PCPs because of the way they treat you. I wanted to address my lab results, I wasn’t there drug seeking like I am sure he presumed. His attitude made it very difficult for me to feel comfortable enough to explain my story. Also, lab results can be dealt with via phone call. 1 mo follow up was made to earn more $. You deserve someone who genuinely cares about your health, look elsewhere.

I went to see Dr Coia after my Dr who I saw for almost 40 yrs passed away unexpectedly. Dr Coia was very thorough, patient, & kind. He listened to all my questions & concerns & did not rush me. When I had questions concerning my medications & treatments after my 1st appt. Dr Coia & his secretary Carol got back to me right away the following morning. Carol is very kind & helpful. She explains everything & answers any questions or concerns you may have. I was very nervous having to find a new Dr in less than 2 weeks due to the unexpected passing of my Dr. They took me right in & have alleviated any anxiety I had while working though this process of establishing a new Pt./Dr relationship. It is hard to find a good Dr who will actually sit & listen to all your questions & concerns without feeling rushed or unheard. I would highly recommend anyone looking for an excellent family care Doctor to go and see him.

Was not able to answer any of my questions about my Crohn's disease. He said there is no research on it and all that is known it that it's contagious. It is NOT contagious and when I tried to explain this to him he just rolled his eyes. I told him I am taking anti-inflammatory meds. but they don't seem to been helping me. He then oddly recommends that I take Ambien telling me "recent research suggests this will solve your problem" I told him that is a sleeping aid. He did not make any sense.
