Dr.Cole is one of the most kind & caring Dr's I've ever known. He takes time to talk & get to know his patients & educate them of their options.

Dr. Cole is one of the most sincere, compassionate, well mannered and over qualified in his medical expertise in both pain management and psychiatric help. He helped my grandmother for many years & without him, I don’t think she would have lived to 86. He was my own doctor for over 9 years and I have nothing but positive things to say about him. I am truly saddened that I am now in search of a new doctor for both my pain and mental health. I can not believe the very few comments that I’ve read in regards to his “malpractice “. I think that those who have had experience with him and do not think highly of this man didn’t really know him the way that I did. He was a professional beyond my expectations who cared about my medical wellbeing. I feel that actions taken against him are completely unacceptable and have many of his patients in a very hard position. I find that if you followed his recommendations you wouldn’t have been apart of the “abuse” that comes along with addictive behaviors. I often read the comments posted on his reviews & feel that there are others who are now stuck in a position looking for a doctor as highly qualified as Dr.Cole. I look forward to seeing him in my last visit with him which has truly saddened me. Please leave a review if you also feel this has taken a toll on your mental health and stress or any recommendations it would be very appreciated.

Dr Cole has had been disbarred and is no longer about to practice medicine in the state of NY as of May. I feel blind sided and very upset that I trusted this person with my care. I stopped seeing him a year ago when his staff told mr the DEA was in his office. I had my chart sent to my new doctor and it was 6 pages!!!! 5 years of my life seeing him was only 6 pages long I was in shock!!! I paid $150 for a visit for the doctor to fill out standard paperwork and he never provided the paperwork. When I needed a new wheelchair his staff took their sweet time getting the paperwork I needed!!! I paid $150 each month because I thought I could trust this man! Now that I have read the legal document of his disbarment I want to seek legal counsel. Dont get me started on how horrible the two women on his staff were - they would ignore people to be petty and refuse to let me talk to the doctor when I needed him! Am i the only one who was done wrong? Does anyone else feel like they should get legal counsel too? Leave a comment snd we can organize. This is not ok!!!

Doctor Cole is a very caring doctor. It was so refreshing to go to an office and see a doctor and not a PA. Most doctors rush thru your appointment but not doctor Cole. He cares about his patients and never rushes thru an appointment. He discusses treatment options in length to ensure you undestand and always has time to answer all questions. I never felt rushed. Judy and Michelle were always very nice to me and I loved Molly who greets you when you come in. Just an all around great doctor.

Questions & Answers

I was wondering as well if and when he is reopening. Does anyone know if they will be opening back up or do we need to find other doctors sadly now? I heard a rumor about why they are closed but I hope it’s wrong.

Yeah I heard he is pretty good at his job and that was my experience. He is such a nice guy and trusting so he lets smaller things slide. I heard it will be open again sometime.

To my knowledge this office is TEMPORARILY closed. Dr.Cole is hands down one of the best Drs out there, And that is why he works independently so he can spend time with his patients. Most Drs are pushing their patients through like cattle at the auction lot because they are being pressured and forced. This man is genius on many levels, extremely well rounded and well versed. He once referred to me as “Salt of the Earth” but no - Dr.Cole is the “Salt of the Earth” and the world would be a better place if only more MDs gave their patients the care and attention that this man does. I encourage any patients of Dr.Cole to leave a positive message here to show your support. I do not believe the office is taking new patients at this time. They are a very small practice and have only been seeing existing patients for quite a few months now. I hope anyone who reads this and see it as truth to “Like” or share your own story.
