Dr. Antonia L Cotwright, DO

I’ve had two unpleasant experiences with Dr.Cotwright. The first was an annual pap. Not only was she very rough and caused serious pain, but after the exam she left all of the bloody equipment out on the table. It was shocking to see after a painful exam, and when I asked about it she looked at it and kind of shrugged. I should mention she also wasn’t super helpful with questions and concerns either. A year and a half or so later, I got pregnant & had a baby (switched OBs of course), and a few weeks after my son was born we had an appointment for circumcision. With our luck, we got dr. cotwright and she completely botched the procedure. This doctor is nice, but after two bad experiences it’s clear she does rough/sloppy work. I hate leaving bad reviews but felt this was important enough to share to avoid others having the same experience. Beware before you make an appointment.

I had been seeing another doctor for years and always felt dismissed and rushed. Decided to get a second opinion on an issue I was having. After that practitioner recommended a course of action, I looked for a third opinion. That third opinion ended up being Dr. Cotwright, and I continued to be her patient while living in Los Angeles. She never rushed me. She was incredibly empathetic and caring. Her bedside manner is unrivaled, she held my hand during particularly difficult conversations. And she is so smart and a great surgeon. My issues went away after she performed a myomectomy on me in 2018.

I saw Dr. Cotwright for my 1st visit with her yesterday. She was friendly, professional and really took the time to listen to me and answer all my questions. I'd definitely recommend and see her again she was fantastic.

She was very friendly and personable.

I was a walk in VBAC as i went into labor early and was not able to see my OB. Aside from the disrespectful way she spoke to me she directly violated my DEMAND not to be touched. I refused permission for her to force me to birth reclined. I was pulled to the end of the table by force. I refused connect to have her reach inside my body to manually put traction on my placenta. As a VBAC such traction was much more dangerous than the tear she was in a rush to stitch. It took me 6 months of care from another provider to repair the damage she did with her stitching she did. She was rough and used thread that was FAR to thick. aproxapatly 18 gage running stitch. She treated me this was after being told by my husband that I had been sexually abused in the past and it was important to be respectful when touching me. There were no warningings before she reached in my body.

Dr. Cotwright made the birth of my son a terrible experience that I hope not to repeat. She seemed much more interested in gossiping with the nurse than in delivering my son. Neither of them were paying any attention to my delivery. They didn't even tell me when to push and I couldn't feel anything because of the epidural. She actually seemed bored and finally told me that I'd need a c-section after I pushed for an hour. Avoid.

Dr. Cotwright was awesome throughout my pregnancy. I went to her office by chance and was blessed to have found her. I am sad that she is now at another office for which my insurance does not cover, otherwise I would follow her. I wish her all the best and hope her new patients enjoy her services, personality, and her professionalism.- I.R

I would like to say that this review is based on Dr. Cotwright. I did not have a good experience with the staff or the owner of office she worked for. The fact that I stayed with Dr. Cotwright speaks volumes to her as a doctor and as a person. I was lucky enough to see Dr. Cotwright for 3 years. I started going to her for my annual exam and then when my husband and I decided to start trying to have a baby she was there to support me as well. Due to Dr. Cotwright changing offices I am sadly no longer her patient. Dr. Cotwright continually provided me with support, knowledge and guidance. Creating a relationship with your OBGYN doctor is extremely important and that is just what Dr. Cotwright did. She created a professional relationship that made me feel comfortable enough to ask questions. I had a negative experience with one of the other doctors in the practice that scared me half to death. Dr. Cotwright was an amazing voice of reason and gave me the facts with care and consideration.… She let me know that everything was going to be okay and that there was a mistake made on the other doctors part. In this situation I would have typically left to find a new office but because of Dr. Cotwright I decided to stay with the person that gained my trust. I would and have highly recommend Dr. Cotwright to my friends and family. She is a great doctor and person.

I Love Love Dr. Cotwright. She is extremely understanding, caring bright and polite. She is the best there is She will call you to follow up and she explains very thorley. If you need to speak she is a phone call away with no problems. She is just over all great. I cant express how wonderful she is.

Dr. Cotwright is a quality person. When one visits her Office, she greets them with a smile and reassures you that you with have a save pregancy. Dr. Cotwright is always there to answer your questions and explains ones medical condition in a manner easy to understand.
