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.

Dr. Cotsamire caused my Ehlers-Danlos diagnosis to be delayed 17 years. This put my health at risk, while also wasting time and money as my other doctors attempted to come up with an alternate diagnosis. I would not recommend Dr. Cotsamire, as I seriously question his knowledge and ability to properly diagnose and treat patients. I also found him to be patronizing and having the worst bedside manner I've ever experienced, while being unable or unwilling to work effectively with other physicians.

I was rushed and he seemed to be irritated. Unfriendly and rude. Most definitely will not be returning. I visited another rheumapologist and was told that I have rheumatoid arthritis after Douglas Cotsatire said I didn't.

Made a appointment with Dr. Cotsmires office and waited over a month for the appointment. Received a automated call regarding the appointment the weekend before the scheduled date. Arrived at the doctors office only to be told the automated system canceled my appointment and that I would have to reschedule for a future date. Dr. Cotsmire was told about my situation by a nurse and he did not care to take me sooner. Left a bad impression about the doc. Doesn't seem to care about patients needs

Staff was very pleasant and efficient. Doctor was friendly, helpful, informative; didn't rush consultation, answered all my questions. No wow factor, but he seemed knowledgable and sincere.
