Dr Cole is always on time and even early at times. He takes as much time needed to explain things and doesn't make you feel like a number he makes you feel like a person and really cares.

Had a great experience. He came in and immediately it was clear he was there to listen and did listen. After I got out what I needed to say, he calmly and expertly explained what I needed to know and have good explanations of images.
