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.

Highly Unprofessional
This was my first time going to an obgyn. I was nervous and didn’t really know what to except I had an appointment with Katherine Colley and when I first arrived there was no one at the front desk so I waited and finally someone came and got me checked in. I waited about 30 minutes when a girl called my name and took me back she was extremely rude non welcoming and made me feel very uncomfortable she asked me common questions and than katherine coley came in I am 19, recently married and me and my husband and I are trying to have children. Katherine coley asked if I was sexually active and continued questioning me based on my answer which is normal. But Not once did she ask me if I was interested in having kids or trying too. She first starts by going over if I would like to go on birth control and I told her no I wasn’t interested in that or any sort of thing. Katherine Colley looks at me and says “IF YOUR HAVING SEX ,WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DONT GET ANY UNWANTED BABYS” in that momen

I wish I had read the reviews of Dr. Coley before choosing her as my doctor. My experience was the same as others posting their treatment as a patient. Dr. Coley was very nice during my visit. My problem was that she never called with the results of cultures she submitted for diagnostic testing. After repeated calls by me for follow up treatment I NEVER received a call back. There were no suggestions of further treatment, no calls to the pharmacy, nothing. After a week of no responses I contacted my internal medicine physician who responded immediately. I will hopefully find another gynecologist who is more attentive to her patient's needs.

I started with dr Coley 2 years ago when I first came to SC. Although she has good dr/patient bedside manner I find she’s never available unless you have an appointment to see her even for a phone call. The office takes the information but there is never a response! Whether for prescriptions or medical advice I’m left in limbo. Very disappointing.

Suggest getting second opinion if she recommends surgery. Overcharges, sloppy record keeping. Seems nice enough.

Dr. Coley has been an amazing doctor over the past 4 years. She listens, respects my opinions and fears (which are always numerous!), and never makes me feel silly for asking a lot of questions. When I was pregnant with my last child and didn't want to be induced, she never made me feel pressured and I had the most beautiful birth experience with him. I also love all of the nurses and staff who always return calls, are quick with results, and are prompt and kind. :)

I've been visiting numerous doctors for the better part of the year. Dr. Coley was a third opinion. She was the only doctor to do the necessary exam herself (instead of out-sourcing it and relying on someone else's evaluation of the images) so that she could evaluate the situation fully herself. Other doctors were advocating drastic surgery. Dr. Coley listened to my concerns, got to know me, and decided to do some further tests. Turns out, no surgery was necessary. Thank you, Dr. Coley!

The entire experience was 5 stars! Staff and Doctor are great - couldn't have asked for a bad situation to be made any better. I needed massive surgery and Dr. Coley explained the process, what I could expect before surgery, during recovery and was in my hospital room first thing the next morning to follow up. To say I am delighted - isn't enough!

Don't believe in her practices, bedside treatment, or procedures. She is not a good doctor for any woman.

Dr. Coley performed my Hysterectomy when the Naval Hospital Beaufort would not. My quality of life has improved tremendously since the Hysterectomy. She has always taken the time to answer my questions and offer advice. I suffer with Ovarian Cysts as well, she's always very helpful and doesn't hesitate to perform office ultrasounds to ensure its not Ovarian Cancer, as my mother had Ovarian Cancer.I give her a 10!

Waited for 1hr and 20 minutes past our appointment time to be seen. She's a very nice lady, but when we tried to ask questions about our 1st pregnancy- she didn't appear to hear us and walked out of the room. Took blood test and told us to expect a call first thing in the morning with the results- still waiting for results. Don't feel like we were a priority and just a paycheck. May have been a really off and weird day in the office, but definitely not going to return.
