Dr.Coker, is the BEST ENT IN THE WHOLE STATE OF DELAWARE!!!! She performed my tonsils and andenoids removed on July the 8th and I must say this surgery is not for Adult aged. The process was very hurtful, but I made it. I'm still healing and recovering. Thank you God for sending this gem in my life!!! If you dont have an ENT, you better get you one, I will share her, but not too many people can have her!!! Thank you Dr.Coker for EVERYTHING you do for my health and well-being. I love you!
