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 Cole is excellent! As a physician myself, he is everything I expect in a doc. So thorough and kind. Never rushed, listens to all of our concerns. ALWAYS gets kids in promptly for acute visits! The on call after hours is also great, very helpful!We’ve been with Dr Cole for both our kids for almost 5 years and will stay with him

Dr. Cole is a wonderful physician with superb bedside manners. Our three children see him and all love him. He spends lots of time with his patients and knows them well. Also the office has walk-in sick hours in the morning which is a life-saver.

Dr. Cole has been taking care of both of our children for 5 years now. He had excellent bedside manner, and has guided us not only with our first born, as we experienced parenthood for the first time, but, also helped us navigate the challenges with our second child, who has a very complicated medical condition. Dr. Cole had been a strong advocate for us, esp. for our child with special needs. He is a caring, well-rounded physician, who follows evidence-based practice. I highly recommend him.

Disappointed about the inflexibility of Dr. Cole. I strongly disagree about this way of practicing medicine. He was pretty straight forward about it, and that is the reason I gave him 2 stars. I would recommend this doctor to those patients who are OK with standard practice. However, if you foresee that at some point you will disagree on treatment options for your child, I am afraid that he will be pretty inflexible, and you will have to look for a second opinion.
