I was impressed with how fast they responded to make an appointment an appointment for me. Dr Basel instantly helped me with an under lying problem that was adding to my problem with my broken toe. I would highly recommend this office.
Left message on Sunday requesting an appointment as soon as possible. Dr. Cottom saw me Monday morning. He performed appropriate procedures alleviating my pain and took time to explain a plan for future care.
They took their time and listened to our concerns. We did not feel rushed . THEY offered several alternatives which were not surgery or invasive .
Very good

Dr Cottom and office staff are extremely friendly and caring. They treated me as a person not just a number as a lot of practices do now a days. I would definitely recommend Dr Cottom to my family and friends.
Staff very organized, timely, informative and professional. Being an RN, truly appreciate how both the physicians and their staff respect you and your time.
Dr. Charles was caring & attentive, requesting specifics as he did initial exam. Then Dr. Cottom came in & was very detailed about what procedures he was going to do, as well as specific instructions & an extremely quick turn around on follow up. Very pleased with his bedside manner & concern for my well being. Would highly recommend!
I am absolutely thrilled about everything with my 1st visit at this office. This is actually a 2nd opinion appointment on a pain in my foot. Everything from the front office and staff was completely different from the previous visit I had elsewhere. It was so welcoming. I didn't wait long at all, and the doctor spent a very nice amount of time with me properly diagnosing my condition. They did not rush the appointment at all, and took the time to educate me on what we were looking at in the xrays. I feel very trusting in Dr. Cottom and his staff and am SO glad I found them!!
I came in as a new patient and was seen on time. Dr. Cottom has a nice demeanor, is a good listener and patiently answered all my questions about my issues. Both receptionists were pleasant and friendly at the front desk. Overall, a great experience and would highly recommend to my other tennis playing friends!
We were extremely impressed with the Doctor and his staff. Very respectful of our time, caring and thorough. Looking forward to working with him.

My first experience was excellent from the open reception area and service to the entire staff . Very professional and friendly. I would recommend this group to anyone that has experience lack of professionalism in their past. Dr. Cottom and his staff were all a 10+. Many thanks for giving me peace of mind with my issue.
