I had a great experience with Dr. Cottrell. He listened to me, knew exactly what to do, explained things well, and treated my issue in the same visit. Excellent care!
very helpful
Afternoon appointment and he saw me on time, very concise and understanding. I was referred to DR by a friend and glad I did!
I felt the appt was rushed. He couldn’t give any suggestions for Strengthening exercises other than go to PT. When i went over to PT, they wouldnt even discuss appointment bc I didnt have “orders” from Dr Cottrell. I could not recommend him.
He was nice and very informative.
Great bedside manner, listened and discussed options.

After years of Physio and knee shots yesterdays visit with Dr Cottrell resulted in-noticeable almost immediate less pain hg
Seemed very rushed. Spent very little time.
Dr. Cottrell is an extremely outstanding Orthropedic doctor. My family and I have come to him for quite a while for needs of the knee. We have never doubted his skill to do what is best including confirming when surgery is required. Hus bedside manner is awesome. He is thorough and listens to you. I have bever felt rushed. He dollows through completely. He is a true gem at OAWF. I don't know if he has any awards, but he should. I would recommend him to everyone. Thank you Dr. Cottrell for all you have done for me and my family. It's greatly appreciated.
