Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I felt that I was in good hands with Dr. Cochran. He was very interested in my health, my care, and any concerns I might have. Always kind and greeted me with a handshake. I will truly miss having him as my Oncologist.

We seldom wait more than 10 minutes before we are moved into a room. Within minutes a nurse comes in to take vitals and ask questions. Shortly, thereafter, Dr. Cochran makes an appearance, ask questions, does an exam, and answers any questions we have. I can honestly say that Dr. Cochran has taken the same interest in my 90 year-old mom as he would a young person. We didn't have that same experience with the first TX Oncologist physician we saw in Tyler, TX. My mom and family are fond of him and his staff.
