I felt she took the time needed to get to my problem. The only problem I have is her nurse, she doesn't return calls nor does she pass it on to the Doctor. If I get around her nurse that would be the best ever.

I have greatly benefited from Dr. Coaker's professionalism and expertise for almost four years. Thanks to her efforts, I sleep much better at night than what I had been experiencing. She also monitors other health conditions I have to get a better understanding of my overall health circumstances and how everything may be interacting to affect my health in general. In my opinion, she is outstanding!

After a number of appointments with Dr Coaker in West Des Moines, it became clear she was unprepared and certainly not a trusted advisor for sleep disorder issues. Appointments were spent rehashing history and her trying to remember/revisit items previously discussed -- I suspect all in the guise of billing that 1 hr+, 90 min+ insurance consult. In the end, I felt no help was given, her services were a waste of time, a waste of money, and would definitely not recommend for anyone looking for sleep disorders help.
