He gave my elderly mother a PEG tube. He and his office have been wonderful with any questions and follow ups that we have had. We would highly recommend him.

I strongly recommend Dr Cottingham for general surgery and colonoscopies. He cares so much for his patients that he prays with his patients before their surgery! Melissa Roseberry, Cullman.

He did my hernia surgery, colonospy, and lap band surgery. He is an excellent surgeon and doctor. I would and do recommend him to anyone. He will be removing my son's gallbladder this Friday. I love him and his staff. He also, prays with you before surgery. That means a lot to me.
