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.

I have been a patient of Dr Kotla's since 2019. The care I received from him and his staff made me feel as if I was a part of their family. He worked hand in hand with my radiation specialist in order for my Chemo and Radiation to go as smooth as it possibly could. I could not have asked for better care and treatment. Today was my final appt with him as he is leaving the Cancer Center at Cookeville Regional Hospital.

Met Dr. Kotla after transferring our care from Vanderbilt to Cookeville due to the difficulties of traveling back and forth. I was amazed at how prepared he was about my case and even prior to my arrival he proactively discussed my case with my physician at Vanderbilt. He was really good at explaining my medical condition in a very simple language, used lots of analogies, and prepared me for the road ahead. His bedside manner was impeccable and at all times he was respectful of my opinions and concerns,

Dr. Kotla is tops in my book. He treated me for lung cancer and I couldn't have been treated more professionally by Dr. Kotla, the nurses in the chemotherapy suite and the rest of the staff at the Cancer Center at Cookeville Regional Medical Center. I'm not sure where I could have gone to receive better treatment. I forever grateful for Dr. Kotla's expertise in handling my treatment.

I am a melanoma fighter.100% cancer free from surgery.brain MRI, pet scan,blood work all negative!My ENT sent me to him to see what kind of treatments where avaliable to me. Dr.kotla started out very nice. But was very pushy about interferon. He wasn't open to any other treatments,I am braf positive (genetic melanoma). He called me today and was unprofessional he raised his voice and told me I wouldn't have two months to live IF I didn't do his treatments! Very pushy!AVOID this cancer center.
