Andrea Cothern, NP

I was sick yesterday and my own doctor wasn’t available. Andrea came in telling me that she was getting over the flu. I said well I hope I don’t have that and her response was “well even if you did go waited 3 days to come in I can’t help you”. So off putting.. She asks my symptoms and I tell her what they are I also tell her that I’ve been around ppl from All over the state the day before.. She’s like “okay, that doesn’t matter, you’ve been sick you don’t just get sick in 24hrs!” I’m like yes you can that exactly what happened to me before.. So as you can tell we are going in circles and she is determined to discredit me knowing more about my body and symptoms than anyone else… She asks me what I’ve been taking and I tell her alkaseltser and Afrin on Monday and agrin again Wednesday night. Immediately Andrea says “You can’t take afrin after three days”. At first I said “okay”.. Then I speak up for myself and say “but I used it only once on Monday and once Wednesday night”. She says “

I have been seeing Andrea for years, and I have NOT ONCE had an bad experience. She has always taken as much time as I need her to take with me to answer questions and discuss any issues that I may have. She has the very best “bedside manner”, and manages to make me feel at ease everytime I see her. She is truly a wonderful provider that takes pride in her work as well as her patients. I would ( and I have) recommend her to ANYBODY who is looking for a great caretaker.
