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 hate to say it because he's already very busy but, he is by far the Best doctor in SWFL. People get busy and things don't always go right but Dr. Cossu is polite, professional, knowledgeable and most of all Interested in his patients well being. He may speed up routine visits when necessary but, if you have a problem he will give it all the attention required to make it better. He's also always trying to improve his staff. If you've ever managed other people you know it's a challenge.

This office had completely changed in the last few years. I have been a patient for the last 18 yrs. The wait time is always 30-60 minutes, his nursing staff are mostly rude & act like they are doing you a favor. His level of care has completely changed to where you feel like you are being rushed through after waiting a really long time, not to mention the I kinda don’t care attitude. This last visit was the icing on the cake of my decision to leave him as a Dr. I waited 50 minutes to be taken back to a completely soiled & dirty room from a previous patient! Gross! I said to the nurse that it didn’t make me feel comfortable. She cleaned the room with an attitude & never came back. Another nurse came in & started the process. Dr Cossu finally came in. I told him why I was there & that I needed an EKG. He said the nurse should have already done this & also rushed through the appointment. Another nurse finally came in to do the EKG. She left the room to go show the Dr & then came in t

The doctor is fantastic. He spent plenty if time with me. He was very thorough. He did not dictate or use a computer while he saw me. His concern was very genuine. He gave eye contact through the entire visit. I didn't feel rushed at all. He gets a little backed up because he takes his time. There are plenty of magazines and a TV to keep one busy while waiting.
