I love this medical office. The employees at the front desk are professional and friendly. Dr Cottingham listened to my questions and concerns and addressed them. She spoke to my husband so he could give a better explanation regarding my current memory loss that I’ve been dealing with. It’s affected my ability to work and sometimes communicate effectively. I would refer my friends and family to this medical center and Doctor

I felt like I wanted more interaction with Dr. Cottingham. I felt like she didn't talk to me and that it was a wasted trio but I will take her recommendations and see my cardiologist.
