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.

Disappointed
I have been to see dr. Cole 3 times for my annual checkup. The checkup took less than 10 minutes. That included doing a Pap smear. He asked no questions other than are you here for a checkup. He was brusk in his manners. Time to look for someone else.

Dr. Cole whom was a last minute replacement for my Dr. Rivero whom had to leave due to health reasons, because I was needing a hysterectomy. I met him once & then he did my surgery, then my one month appointment. He was really good at explaining everything to me & what would go on in surgery. Wonderful doctor with a cool personality!

I've been having female problems and thankfully got switched to Dr. Cole. He looked over all my medical records and told me in 1 visit what was going on and what to do it get it fixed. Explained in details what was going on and the process of getting everything back in line. I'll definitely post an updated review once I'm finished with everything I have coming up with Dr Cole. So far I am beyond happy with getting switched over.

This is my first pregnancy and he was VERY rude about everything. Constantly rolling his eyes the entire appointment, being rude about my condition and not understanding to how hard it was for me to end up pregnant. He was very rude and i do not recommend anyone going and seeing him. I was waiting for almost an hour and a half just to be seen.

Disappointed in cookeville, TN – Sep 01, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Cole?
He was fantastic. He answered all of my questions and was very involved with my pregnancy. I have to admit I was skeptical of him at first, but he turned out to be an outstanding Dr. and I will continue to see him in the future. He is very straight forward, which can make him seem like a jerk at first, but give it more than 1 or 2 visits and I guarantee you will be thrilled that you did. I recommend him to everyone i know.

After leaving my appointments with Dr. Cole I consistently felt frustrated. Dr. Cole does not seem to understand women and does not understand that obstetrics is more than just medicine, it involves hopes and dreams, worries and concerns. Dr. Cole did not listen to my concerns and actually made me feel like there was something wrong with me when I would ask questions or voice my anxieties. For women who have had previous losses and need compassion and understanding, Dr. Cole is not for you.
