Dr. Cottrell was friendly and empathetic. He made me feel comfortable and did a thorough examination of my issue. He provided both short term and long term solutions and didn’t pressure me to choose either, both, or none. I would definitely see him again for orthopedic issues and would recommend him to my friends and family.

I find him very friendly & personable, while maintaining a common sense approach. He did my my Mother's knee about 10yrs ago.

Quickly assessed the issue with my elbow and preformed a minor procedure in the office. Provided a worse case scenario if elbow didn’t improve.

Dr. Cottrell recently gave me a new knee and the entire procedure from the initiation of the procedure itself went without a hitch. Mary, his staff assistant ensured all the paperwork went smoothly upto send including the hospital. His professionalism and skill as a surgeon was great. I put off this surgery off for 10 years until Dr. Cottrell and his PA convinced me of it. PAIN IS GONE!
