Dr. Coker was great. Very Professional, detailed, and explained everything very clearly, and addressed my medical issue right away. The staff was good too. My only issue was the wait time. The office was overbooked with patients. My appointment was 1:20 PM. I was on-time, but I didn’t get to see Dr. Coker until 2:15 or so. Luckily I recently retired and I didn’t have anything else on calendar that afternoon.
