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.

I have been a patient of Dr Cogburn for at least 28 years. I was always very satisfied with the excellent care I received along with the continuity of care which is rare today in the medical outpatient setting. I really enjoyed his quick sense of humor. I still share some of the very funny comments with my friends and family. I’m sad to see you go but glad to know you will be enjoying your life with loving family. It’s your time to rest, rejuvenate, peace out and live it up. Blessing of Shalom Dr Cogburn

I'll follow the person who wrote "this is one of the strangest doctors I've ever met" -- I couldn't agree more. The staff and surgeon at this facility are excellent!! BUT this guy is obviously full of himself. He never gave me an opportunity to ask questions without inturrupting me and cutting me short. AND THEN to cap things off, he belittled me by patting me on the head and walking out of the office. What a jerk!

Always a pleasant experience. Dr. Cogburn never pushes for unnecessary treatment. He listens to your concern and addresses them accordingly without any attempt to "goldplate" a procedure.

Dr Cogburn is efficient, wastes no time, yet is thorough and makes the entire experience enjoyable. He follows up with any biopsies, etc promptly . In my opinion, he is outstanding in his knowledge and how he has acquired excellent staff to support his topnotch care. I've recommended him to my patients seeking a dermatologist for many years.

Dr. Cogburn has been my dermatologist for years. I might see him 1x a year or it could be longer. When I need an appointment they do their best to accommodate me. Their staff is always helpful and nice. There are many dermatologists now in my area. People ask why don't you go somewhere locally . I know him and he has always been able to help me no matter what the problem is. I highly recommend him.

I have been seeing Dr. Cogburn for years. I was diagnosed with a rare form of psoriasis that he has treated for those many years and other small skin irritations. He takes the time to explain and even listen to your complaints. I had an issue several years back and called him on a weekend, He immediately interrupted his lunch date with his wife to see me and help. I don't just feel like Dr. Cogburn is just a doctor, but a family friend who understands and listens and forms a plan to help.

I have had long term experiences with Dr. Cogburn through my family (parents now deceased) & sister & brother-in-law. I have had 3 lipo suction surgeries & though not much fun, saw good results. I think he is a very knowledgeable & does a great job. I am also very pleased with all his office staff & I always see the same people there so that is a good sign. All of the staff are very friendly & supportive. Sometimes the wait time is a bit long however.

Dr. Cogburn is the most thorough and careful doctor that I have ever seen. He is very professional and ,although he had many patients to see the day I was there, he never was in a hurry with me. He made me feel that he really was listening to my concerns and had plenty of time for me. He also was very charming and funny. I hope that he will be my doctor for many years.

Dr. Cogburn is the most amazing physician. He is an excellent dermatologist. He has been treating our family through thick and thin since 1988. My daughter comes all the way from Charlotte just so she can continue to go to him. He likes to do relatives due to the nature of some of the diseases he treats. He is kind, he is compassionate, he is helpful, he is generous. He is a treasure to Western North Carolina medicine! He probably also has too many patients but I just told you why.

Dr. Cogburn seems competent, but I did not feel comfortable during my exam. I got a decent but not thorough skin check and absolutely no review of my family history or personal history though I've seen a colleague in his office. There was no follow-up about previous visits/concerns and no education about skin care even though I have a family history of pretty serious skin cancer, which is in my chart. Not a bad visit, but disappointing. LONG wait times. I will not return to him.
