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.

Carpal Tunnel Relief
Dr. Cole performed Carpal Tunnel Release surgery on my husband first when we lived in Idaho. He was so impressed with him and the results that I drove from Helena Montana to have Dr Cole do my Carpal Tunnel surgery. Dr. Cole is very professional yet personable. He explains the procedure and what to expect post-surgery very well. My recovery has been quick and I am back to the gym and riding horses with no problems.

Goodbye Breast Implant Illness!
Dr. Cole, Ali and the team saved my life. I had been suffering from Breast Implant Illness for years. Since there is no definitive diagnosis of BII and the medical community is unimformed I have spent the last 8 years struggling with Neurological decline, vision loss and autoimmue issues. Multiple specialists have treated me for MS eventhough my scans all came back normal. One specialist even suspected a brain tumor as the cause of my vision loss. Again scans came back normal. Between Neuro issues, severe depression, anxiety and unrelenting ADHD these last few years have been some of the hardest of my life. I have never been so sick in my life. I could barely function normally, I could not work and I felt as if I was slowly dying and everytime I asked if my silicone implants could be the issue I was told they were 'safe' and I should stop getting my information from the internet. Finally after spending this last year working to balance my hormones because I was told Peri-menopau

No Stitch surgery
Dr. Cole explained what carpal tunnel was and how he was going to relieve my pain. I had the right wrist done last year and the left one this year. The no stitch is awesome. Almost no down time. Granted I work in a office setting. I just missed a half a day for the surgery and back to work the next. It may be longer if you work construction etc. Just take it easy and in a couple of weeks back to 100%. I highly recommend this type surgery .

Dr. Cole met me in the hospital when I had a severe infection in two fingers. He applied appropriate treatment but ended up needing to amputate the fingers. His work was excellent and his follow up care has been thorough and compassionate. He explains things thoroughly but simply. I have appreciated his care.

Splendid Results! Took 15 years off my appearance
Highly talented, educated and published surgeon. Get’s results without giving away that it was from surgery. Completely natural looking and the scars are hidden. Bedside manner is amazing and his patient care second to none. His staff was very professional and I never had more than a 10 minute wait for my appointment.

DON’T recommend for breast work
Had breast reduction and lift surgery 2 years ago, with lower lid work. Had post op complications and found him defensive and rude whenever I asked a question. Same thing at 6 months visit; would NOT release records to physician when seeking 2nd opinion for uneven nipples that now require another surgery. Now I wear nipple covers under my bras to hide the 1 inch discrepancy between them.

Highly recommend
I had breast explant surgery 1/25/24 and it couldnt have gone more smoothly. Dr Cole and staff were very professional throughout the whole process. I was scheduled with another Dr out of state but really wanted to stay close to home for my recovery. After meeting him for my first exam I knew he would be performing my surgery and I immediately scheduled. The staff and his assistant were wonderful and I felt comfortable and cared for at each visit before and after surgery. Very thankful for Dr Cole and staff and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a Dr in Boise Idaho.

Amazing Provider
Dr. Cole is very personable and he genuinely cared about my care and recovery. He has done two different surgeries for me and each time he called and checked up on me before my follow up appointment. It is very rare that you find a provider that will call and check up on you. He is very knowledgeable in his field of practice and he wants the best care for you.

Trigger Finger Procedure
Dr. Cole did surgery for my carpal tunnel and some other issues a few years ago. So, when I needed help with a trigger finger, I went straight to Dr. Cole. He is friendly, very informative in all areas of the procedure or surgery. Checked in on me after a few days to make sure everything was going well with recovery. Just can't say enough good about Dr. Cole, I would highly recommend him to everyone! His Staff is also very friendly, efficient, and very helpful. Dr. Cole is the BEST! His Staff is AWESOME!!

Rapid appointment made available fitting clinical situation.Pleasing personality.Thorough explaination of medical condition and surgical options to correct problem.Works hard to be on schedule almost no waiting for office appointment. Surgical skills excellent based on results. No complications following clearly defined post-op care.Genuine concern for patients care and well being. Even calls you at home following surgery. Makes the process as well managed and easy as is possible. Dr. Cole is all that a caring physician should be.

Wrist ligament repair
I was able to be evaluated the next day after I fell, tearing the ligaments in my left wrist. Surgery was scheduled for the following week and the postop care was similarly scheduled for timely followup. He explained the surgery and treatment well with each step along the way.

Outstanding Results!
Dr Cole performed two surgeries on me. I had lost a lot of weight and changed my lifestyle over the last two years. It left a lot of excess skin on my belly. During the tummy tuck, Dr Cole removed almost five pounds of skin. I did not have liposuction. I am crazy/happy with the results. The first two weeks of recovery were annoying due to draining fluid from the wound. After that part finished, it was smooth sailing. Exactly as Dr Cole assured me it would. My second surgery repaired painful arthritis in my thumb. I had bone spurs and loss of cartilage. Dr Cole removed the problematic bone material and fashioned a new cushion using a ligament in my arm. Once again the results were incredible
