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.

Excellent care
Dr. Coats treated my right shoulder tear and reconstruction professionally and efficiently. During my one-year recover, he managed my care, and answered all my questions to provide me with full recovery and use of the shoulder. I am extremely pleased with the results. If my left shoulder requires repair, Dr. Coats is on my speed-dial. I would recommend him to anyone needing orthopedic care.

Dr. Coats and staff were prompt, professional and most helpful in treating my carpal tunnel and trigger finger issues. I would highly recommend him for these issues.

After the results of my MRI indicated a meniscus tear, I chose to go for a minimally invasive knee surgery with Dr Coats. He did an EXCELLENT job with the surgery. He has a great support team which helps in every aspect of the surgery and recovery making it a smooth journey. One of his staff members called and completed pre-surgery registration eliminating the long wait at the surgical center. The surgical center’s staff provided the knowledge and assurance to make me feel confident during the process. Dr Coats staff scheduled follow up appointments and set me up with Team Rehab for physical therapy. I had a complete recovery plan in hand when I left the surgical center. Just completed my follow up appointment with Dr Coats today and can honestly say that I will gladly be recommending him. Dr Coats will be my doctor again if any future problems arise.

The staff at his office and Beltway Surgery was great. Two of the nurses told me how much they enjoyed their jobs which was evident in their care. Dr. Coats came to my room, initialed the knee to be scoped and told me I was in good hands with a great staff. He was correct, everyone did a great job! My knee has been repaired, strength and conditioning is underway. Thank you all!

This was my 2nd torn rotator cuff surgery with Dr. Coats. 1st was left shoulder in 2016 torn by a ice sidewalk fall, this summer of 2020, was a 12mph bicycle accident tearing my right shoulder. I asked for Dr. Coats as he did such a fantastic job on my large tear left shoulder in 2016. He has again done a superior surgeon job on my right shoulder. I am 63. I have full motion & no pains. Still building strength but I again expect to be able to do 30 pushups & 10 pullups in a set. Recovery takes awhile - using the fine folks at Team Rehabilitation but the results are as desired !

So I had an MRI done (left shoulder) with Dr Coats in Kokomo and not only did they charge for a visit to get the MRI results, all he said was I see no problem, maybe do some bicep exercise at home. So I received a 2nd opinion with access to my MRI, they called me tonite, Dr explained 4 things going on in my shoulder, including 1 tear, possible another labral tear along with arthritis and tendinitis.. So I can only assume my original Ortho doctor must of had the wrong file for my "paid" for follow up visit or he simply didnt read it.. Very unhappy with the Kokomo office and care, I knew something was wrong.....

Dr. Coats had been great to work with. He did a great job of consulting, reviewing X-Rays and suggesting treatment options. On top of that he and his staff did a great job of follow up and not making me feel like a number. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Coats is very thorough and honest. He will not dance around your diagnosis and will give you all/any available treatment options to you. His staff is awesome. Always helpful and very kind. My surgery experience with him and his scheduler, Jessica, have been fantastic. I would recommend him and his practice to anyone needing any type of ortho referral.

his office assistant Jessica is rude, has an unapproachable personality and demeanor, to call in to get an appointment is a joke you have to leave a message and live on a hope and prayer they call back, which more than likely they won't-- so keep calling.
