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.

True compassion and patient focused
Dr Cottrill is a physician’s physician. In a very hectic and challenging environment at Rebound Orthotics, Dr Cottrill stands head and shoulders above his peers. He always puts the interest of his patients first. I can make this statement as I have seen a number of physicians at rebound and I can attest to his steadfast honesty, patient centric practice, and the admiration from his staff.

Dr. Cottrill was so easy to talk to as it was my first visit. He had looked at all my information in my chart before my appt. He listened, he asked lots of questions and we came up with a plan as to how to go forward. Plus he had a great sense of humor. I really liked him!

Dr. Cottrill has seen me six times over the past year with focuses on pain management of a chronic spinal condition. Communicating with another neurosurgeon at Rebound and listening to me relate my symptoms and responses to treatment and strategies, I have been able to avoid surgeries and to regain fitness activities. I am 72 years old, but Dr. Cottrill treats me as if I have another 100 years (LOL) to live a healthy quality life.

I’ve seen Dr Cotteril several times for back problems, he is truly one of the most caring physicians I’ve ever seen and very good at what he does. He takes the time to thoroughly go over everything with his patients. You never feel like he is rushing to get to his next patient.

Dr. Cottrill is, by far, the best physician I’ve seen. Not only is he knowledgeable and thorough, but he also listens and seems to truly care about his patients. I never feel rushed during my appointments and he takes the time to explain everything and answer all my questions. Also, his sense of humor and friendliness help put you at ease. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to family and friends.
