Dr Cottrell is always quick to arrive after the basic measurements are taken. He is friendly, attentive, listens to what I have to say, asks focused questions, and provides full details about he he thinks we should proceed.

Dr. Cottrell is absolutely amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable and empathetic to patient needs. I have suggested him highly to those I work with. I work with other faculty who go to him and also feel the same. He is an absolute gem and exceeds all the standards of PCPs.
