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.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Cole?
Dr Cole never calls in prescriptions even after several calls and weeks with missed medications. He does not care about his patients. He never tries to get to the bottom of a medical problem. He will often do a physical, blood draw but does nothing else even when there are several medical issues going on.

Been seeing him since he became a dr. He found my heart disease & got me a specialist. With my kin also seeing him, we've been for everything from a cold or bug bite to heart trouble & arthritis. Excellent care each time.
