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.

Two of my doctor's recommended Dr Cole and I'm so glad I listened to them . I have severe Scoliosis and was having an issue walking. Physical therapy wasn't helping. Dr Cole explained that the best course of action would be to perform a laminectomy.He patiently showed me my MRI explaining what needed to be done no matter how many times I questioned things he was a true professional , very calm , knowledgeable and polite. I knew I was going to be in good hands.In addition his office staff was always helpful, and friendly.My surgery was November 2022... I feel great!

Judging a physician's expertise, by not having phone calls returned, is just ignorance. A doctor needs to be judged by he does and Dr. Cole is top notch.

I was able to see Dr. Cole about 3 times but after that I was never able to even get any of my calls returned for an appointment . I've left numerous messages and it only resulted with frustration ! His assistant was no help -left her messages after messages and nothing ?! Who works like that ! It's one thing not to get an appt but to not have an assistant call you back is terrible ..Dr. Cole -please get another assistant who could answer calls ! it is hurting your business and reputation .. :(

I've seen Dr. Cole a couple times. Very pleased with him. He doesn't immediately recommend surgery and he is upfront about expectations.

Dr. Cole is one of the leading expert surgeons in Sports Orthopedic medicine. As a result, his services and opinion are in great demand. Expect long waits at his office. Its not always a long wait but just expect it to be. Expect fairly short office visits. If you need more ask the ?s you need - he will give you the time. Expect quality service. Expect expert opinion, surgery, and care. Expect his well-qualified service team to step in for him to help manage his office visits.

Dr Cole is amazing. He won't recommend surgery unless it's absolutely necessary and when he does perform surgery he is wonderful and skillful. I trust him 100% The result of my back surgery was outstanding and the incision was done so cleanly I barely have any scarring.
