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.

Doctor great, disappointed overall
My appt with Dr. Cole was great, save for the fact that I received no warning that placing an IUD might be excruciating. It was, and the nurses in the room acknowledged that patients often experience that level of pain, so it was a well-known concern that none of the providers in the office warned me of. Then an ultrasound was scheduled - on the wrong day, and the wrong type. When I tried to get this corrected I was told I'd need to come in for a whole new appt to get a new ultrasound appt since I'd been scheduled for a growth ultrasound...for a fetus that was never there, I was supposed to be checked for another condition.I'd like to recommend Dr. Cole overall, but I can't given all the mistakes in scheduling and lack of transparency

Wonderful doctor
I had a high risk pregnancy with my 4th child (placenta previa and placenta percreta) and was transferred from my original OB to Dr. Cole. He is so knowledgeable, communicated everything so clearly about my condition and what to expect as far as surgery, recovery and possible complications, and has such a kind and calming demeanor. I’m so thankful for Dr. Cole and can’t say enough nice things about him, he helped put my mind at ease and made me feel like I had the right team for a very scary surgery. He is a wonderful doctor.

Amazing man
I had doctor cole almost my whole pregnancy with my daughter I’ve never seen a doctor care so much about there job and explain things rather than just telling me what’s going on and leaving it at that. He did my emergency C-section and after kept checking on me to ensure I was doing alright. He’s truly an amazing doctor.

My experience with Dr. Cole was awful. He was rude, dismissive and condescending. I highly advise against utilizing his services. He should not be caring for patients, especially pregnant women. I filed a formal complaint based upon his unprofessional treatment of me.
