My initial visit was awesome. Dr. Coy and his staff was so kind, friendly and accommodating. Dr. Coy made me feel comfortable from the get go and answered all my questions. My surgery went well and would recommend him to anyone.

I cannot begin to tell what Dr. Coy did for me.I had a surgery by another Dr. and in a week I had to have it all done over.In a few short words, he saved my life, he said if I had waited another day, I wouldnt be here he is a wonderful Dr. When I tell my friends about him, I just say I love that man.. I will recommend him a million times. I will even give my name, Helen Heiskell

Dr. Coy saw me the day following the referral on a Friday (a day he does not normally see patients). He is very caring and takes his time thoroughly explaining everything in detail and as many times as he needs to. The wait time was a little long, however, it was probably because he needed to spend extra time with a patient and, of course, if I needed that extra time I would want him to do the same for me. His staff was very, friendly, courteous and caring as well. Dr. Coy is great and I would recommend him to any one looking for a caring and experienced doctor.

I have worked in the same hospital as the doctor for 10 years he did my surgery and it was fine, I would send anyone to him.

Really doesn't need to be performing advanced surgeries, ruined a family member of mine and vastly shortened his life thanks to negligence.
