Patient Reviews
Apr 02, 2018
Dr. Cottingham is great and (equally important) so is her office. I can't speak for appointments later in the day, but for my morning appointments, I was always called back within 10 minutes and seen within another 10 minutes. I've had bad experiences with previous PCP's, but I felt like I could really trust Dr. Cottingham. If her office accepted my new insurance, I'd still happily be her patient.
