As I previously stated, she knows what she is talking about. She is able to explain the issues and give possibilities for the symptoms and give a course of action for treatment. She is not eager to do surgery, but if recommended, I know that she would do so conservatively

Dr. Cottrell is a very personal, caring physician who looks at the "whole" of me, even checking my complete medical chart for test results from other physicians. I only hope and pray that St. Francis does not "boot her out" like 2 of my other physicians were! Dr./Patient relationships are necessary for excellent care.

I loved the doctor. Very friendly, she talked to me on my level and made sure I under stood the procedures.

Oct 29, 2024
Doctor seemed friendly enough but felt like she was dismissive towards my issue, she did the usual quick observations and had them noted but didn't comment about what she thought about the CT scan of my neck that was taken at emergency or X-rays from chiropractor, She didn't say she looked at them at all.
