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.

Never met him. His office receptionist is incompetent and I left after 30 minutes past my appointment time. I have seen similar Google reviews about his office.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Coats?
Dr. Coats is an excellent Healthcare provider. I am very impressed with his manners, professionalism and personality. I very much enjoy my visits with him. That being said the front desk, sheduling, follow up, and reminder dept. in the Valley office leaves a bit to be desired in the professionalism department. I'm a little taken back by some of the (attitude) in the way they talk to their patients on the phone and in the lobby.
