Dr. Cote was my doctor for my first of two pregnancies. He made me feel that the baby I was carrying and me were the most important in the world. He even gave some follow up visits as he recognized I was young and very unsure of my new role as a mother. I highly recommend Dr. Cote, as he had the well-being of my newborn son and myself in high regard.

After multiple horrible experiences at Kaiser I had lost all hope. Then I had my first appointment with Dr Cote on 12/05/14 and it changed all of that; he completely made up for all of my previous bad experiences. He is kind, caring, helpful and will answer all of your questions no matter how silly they may seem. He truly cares about his patients and it shows.

Dr. Cote is the best Dr anyone could hope for. He spends time with you, cares for you not only physically but emotionally. When waiting to see him he walks out to waiting room and takes you in himself he doesn't leave you waiting for busy nurses to come get you. He'll walk you in himself. After one of my pregnancy losses he was so kind to me, he would take me in as soon as I checked in, quickly would put me in a room and then would walk me out of a side door to prevent me from seeing all the pregnant bellies in the waiting room. He knew how difficult the loss was for me emotionally and physically and went out of his way to be a great caring Dr. and person. Dr. Cote is the best Dr anyone could have!

Dr. Cote is an exceptional physician. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and caring. He ensures his patients receive the utmost care and treats his patients as family. His level of professionalism is beyond compare. I had the opportunity to have him deliver both of my sons and my husband and I were very pleased with the level of medical care we received by Dr. Cote.

Dr. Cote is an excellent doctor and human being. He is sensitive to your needs, cares about making sure his patients get good care and that they are emotionally well. Dr. Cote provided me with so much support during a very difficult time and is the best doctor I've ever encountered. He made sure all my questions were answered, spent plenty of time with me, and always follows up and is available not only by phone but also by email if you have any further questions after seeing him. He is just simply Wonderful!!
