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.

This woman has to be one of the worst pediatricians on this planet, The mistreatment and arrogance in which she uses on children is unacceptable for someone in her profession. And for the whole town to know to keep your children away from her is a red flag in its own.

Dr. Cotting is a sweet and lovely doctor who went out of her way to answer some questions I had about my son with special needs. She helped me find the right specialists and made me feel comfortable as a parent navigating this uncharted territory.

Dr. Cotting is fantastic! She really cares about my daughter and her well-being. She takes the time to answer all of my questions (as a first time mom, I have a lot)! My toddler is shy around most adults, but is very comfortable with Dr. Cotting. The office is great and the staff is wonderful.

Dr. Cotting lacks the empathy and knowledge to work with small children. She is not patient and is easily overwhelmed. After 4 weeks she still didn't send in a needed referral for our infant. We changed practices after that. Most of the notes she took were incorrect and she misconstrued many facts. If we had known in the 5 years she's been practicing that she had hopped around so much we likely would not have been comfortable seeing her. Very unprofessional, not good with children.
