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.

Best of the Best
I've been with Dr cole for years. Every visit is thorough to the point I begin to feel guilty for taking up too much of his time. Several issues have been caught early due to his questioning. He is not afraid to make a referral when there may need to be a second opinion.

My visit went well and I couldn’t ask for a better doctor.He will do whatever it takes to help you. If I needed a test done then he would have it set up in a very timely manner.

I have been looking for a family doctor for myself and family. He makes you feel so comfortable and instead of medicating a health issue he wants to find out what is going with you I so appreciate that ...I've referred my daughter and my son is next...I'm very pleased and relieved to have dr.cole as our doctor.

Dr. Cole has been our family doctor for over 10 years. He and his staff are very patient and respectful during visits. He’s very thorough with questions, exams and testing. Prescribes meds only when felt necessary. Definitely recommended to family and friends.

Dr. Cole is a wonderful physician with great bedside manner. I have been a patient of his for the last 8 years. It’s very easy to get an appointment with minimal time spent in the waiting room after arrival. He is very knowledgeable, caring, and thorough. Dr. Cole always has a scribe in the room that completes the computer charting and dictates the entire visit. This allows him to spend his time speaking to and assessing the patient rather than having to focus on the computer, as I have seen so many other physicians do. I have and will continue to recommend him to my friends and family.

Dr. Cole epitomizes the highest caliber of a family physician. He listens intently, works for the best interest of the patient and takes the time necessary to arrive at the proper diagnosis or decision for the betterment of the patient. Professional and yet personal dealing with patients, Dr. Cole evidences no qualms in referring patients to specialists or having second opinions. He has been my PCP for over 5 years.

In three months from my first appointment with Dr. Cole, my overall health is significantly improved. Dr. Cole is focused upon overall health quality. Dr. Cole addressed not just my immediate condition; but, addressed the long-term root causes for my medical needs. Dr. Cole's sensible treatment and open consultation included a reasonable and sustainable long-term lifestyle change that greatly improved my health, both short-term and long-term! I feel much, much better. Thank you Dr. Cole!
