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 became ill and the drs I was seeing in GA were stumped. One of them referred me to Dr Cotton. He listened to my long history. He and his staff ran a test. While it showed nothing, Dr Cotton said there was a legitimate problem. He spoke with my Dr in GA, who was fairly young and felt like he had talked to a celebrity. A few weeks later, a new symptom showed and a diagnosis was made. It's been over 10 years, I still recall this prominent Dr believed & truly cared. Thank you Dr Cotton & staff!!

Bullied me into having surgery saying I would have a normal life. Basically backed me into a corner and let me know this was my only option when clearly it wasn't. It ruined my life and left me addicted to drugs and with still continuing health problems plus the need for more surgery to fix the botched one. Then he cut me loose as a patient. Left me to deal with the mess!
