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.

Dismissive, doesn't follow-up, and doesn't explain conditions well. Will not go back and would not recommend

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Cothran?
I chose Dr. Cothran because I'm an adult competing athlete. I had my first appointment with her and I know that having her as my primary care physician is a good decision. She spent plenty of time with me, answering all my questions. She's really good, I liked her. I would also like to mention the pleasant, helpful staff in her office and at the blood draw office too. She's not the easiest doctor to get in with as she's only in the office one day a week but I'm sure the other doctors will do just fine if I have an emergency.

Dr. Cothran has been my doctor for over 10 years. I sought her out because of her competency in sports medicine. After two orthopedic surgeons had told me to come back once my knee got even worse, Dr. Cothran referred me for physical therapy, which did the trick. She has now accompanied me through many more years of training. My knees are better than ever -- no surgery needed -- thanks to Dr. Cothran's care.
