The Dr. Listened to what I thought had caused the problem, explained how that wouldn't have caused the issue & explained that what had happened was what really happened & that the treatment prescribed was exactly what he would have done.

Dr Cotton was very caring. I brought two family members with me. He was so informative to all of our concerns. He took us into his office for one of the hardest Dr visits of our lives. What a gentleman he was to all of us.

Dr Cotton was very attentive and explained everything to me and asked if I had any questions. She made me feel better about my issues and said I could come back if I needed to before my next appointment

Dr. Cotton was so kind as to go out in the parking lot with my wife and move our vehicle closer to the exit. I've never ever heard of a doctor providing that kind of service to a patient, and I was a ugly patient.
