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.

She is exceptionally personable! I recommend her

Wait time almost unbearable
Doctor is nice enough. All went well. But the wait time is brutal. They hurry and get you in at your scheduled appointment time but then have you waiting for over an hour for the doctor. I am definitely NOT use to waiting so long and I've been to many, many appointments with many different doctors. We are given appointment times for a reason. No one has time to be at the doctor's for 1.5 hours just to been seen for 10 minutes. A little ridiculous. They charge us $50 for being late, maybe we should charge the doctors for being late to see us.

Disappointed
I have been a patient for many years. She is usually very kind and caring but on this particular visit she seemed rushed and distracted. She never addressed testing results and I felt she was very judgmental when talking about exercise and lifestyle changes after I was recently diagnosed with Diabetes. She concluded my appointment w her usual big smile which I doubted was sincere. Disappointing.

Care and knowledge
I met her 2 years ago when my husband was sent to her. She ran tests and all good you have no issues. I was sent to her last year and she had tests done. She said they came out fine But I want you to have an angiogram. She was correct as I had an issue. She cares and doesn’t do anything you don’t need. But she does catch everything and gives you what you need. Caring, efficient and knowledgeable.

A True Professional
Dr Cobler is a seasoned professional whom I met several years ago. At the time she screened me for an irregular heart beat. Thirty years later I see Dr Cobler for a calcified coronary artery. I’m on a statin for cholesterol and she is monitoring my cardiac health. Dr Cobler listens and makes eye contact with me. I continue to make follow up visits. I recommend this physician because she is wise and caring.

Excellent Cardiologist
I have being seen by Dr.Cobler for a number of years. She is thoughtful and considerate in your cardiac health. When I had SOB and chest pain she never hesitated to order further testing with my approval. I am grateful to have her as part of my provider arsenal. She is kind and reassuring and overall an excellent physician. Her staff is courteous and knowledgeable.

Don’t waste your time
Extremely rude, condescending and dismissive. I am educated and well read on many medical issues including the evidenced based guidelines. She refused to have a conversation to discuss my concerns or answer my questions. She spoke down to me and was uninformed about current guidelines in regards to my medical condition. She obviously does not know how to approach the patient as an individual with unique concerns and tailor treatment accordingly. She barely did a physical assessment much like the PCP in same group that didn’t do one but documented that they did.
