Very nice honest man
I met Dr. Cole for the first time today for a consult. Although I was in a lot of pain, he was very patient and understanding. He is thoughtful, thorough and very down to earth while being very professional. I have all the faith in him that he will be able to help me with my back pain. I do not think it would be possible to be in better hands!
