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.

The Best Gynecologist!
Everyone was so kind and patient. Dr. Cobbs made sure that I was comfortable and calm during my appointment and answered all of my questions. I HIGHLY recommend her and her amazing staff.

BEST DOCTOR EVER
Dr. Cobbs saw me on short notice early one morning in her office. I was very worried and she put my fears at ease. She spent a long time with me, explained many tests and walked me through different treatment options. I have had past traumas that make it very hard for me to trust physicians and go to the gynecologist. Dr Cobbs prayed with me and I know that made the difference too. I am so thankful for her practice and her amazing team.

EXCEPTIONAL CARE & AMAZING TEAM!
Hands down the most friendly, caring and fun office I have ever visited. From the smiles at the front desk to the joyful nurses in the back- it was a great experience. As ladies, we don't always enjoy going to the gynecologist but Dr Cobbs is amazing! She makes you feel comfortable, heard and truly listens to your thoughts and answers your questions. She takes time with you and you know she really cares. Being asked if I needed prayer was such a blessing for me. The atmosphere was filled with hope and love- you can tell it is different in every good way possible. I will tell all my friends who are looking for a great doctor to definitely check out Dominion Gynecology.

Simply the best
Dr Cobbs saved my life! She is the most intelligent, compassionate, kind Dr I have ever had. She listens and takes what you say and combines it with her experience and helps you with a plan that makes sense. Nothing you say or whatever medical conditions you have is negatively judged. She makes you feel heard, seen, and genuinely cared for. She is a absolute blessing. I thank God everyday that she is my doctor.

I have been a patient of Dr. Cobbs for over 20 years. I can not put into words how much trust and faith I have in her as a person and as a doctor. She has been with me through pregnancies, miscarriage, and other challenging health issues. I have never felt pressured to make a quick decision on treatment plans under her care. She always provided my husband and I with our options and gave us time to think about those options before making a decision. When needed she referred us to specialists. I have recommended Dr.Cobbs to many others women that have become long term patients. I highly recommend Dr.Cobbs.

Dr. Cobbs was a great listener and compassionate. She was also extremely knowledgeable and dealt well with complex matters. Added, she had a strong background in emerging technologies. Equally important, she took the time to fully familiarize herself with me. Lastly, she had medical assistants that were very professional as well.

Bad Experience. She is very rude and did not listen to me. She relentlessly pushed Hormonal Birth Control after I told her I did not want it. The only treatment she offered for my suspected Endometriosis and Adenomyosis was birth control and then reluctantly gave me information for a specialist. Thankfully this Specialist was amazing and has helped me.

If you have any kind of minor health issues and are considering pregnancy, I would not consider this practice. I found that the doctors often weighed in on medical issues that they were not qualified to make - for example high blood pressure or diabetes. The doctors at this practice, including this one, had difficulty diagnosing preeclampsia and made erroneous diagnoses. I also discovered medically incorrect information in my file. The office is also in various states of admin disarray.

I've been a patient of Dr. Cobbs for a year; she was recommended by my primary care doc. She helped diagnose my medical issues & took time to explain the tests I would have to go through beforehand, she clearly laid out options when the results came in without pressuring me to choose one over another, & she was supportive of my decision. I was able to communicate w/ Dr. Cobbs & staff over the internet portal/email system & got quick responses. I've been impressed since my first visit.

She was the rudest physician I've ever seen and I wish that I could prevent my insurance company from paying her. She was condescending about my weight, and it's not like she is skinny. She was late and I felt like my presence was othering her. Her nurse was an incompetent twit that had a rotten tooth in the front of her mouth. It was an all in all bad experience. They even had my medical history wrong and I've been going to the practice for 3 years. I'll never return.
