Everyone was professional and caring. Dr. Kotkes has great patience and connection with me. He engages in conversation with me to relax and assure me everything is going to be fine. He listens and works with a me on me care plan. He's fantastic.
My visits are always excellent even when I am in excrutiating pain from my illness. Dr. Kotkes is the only doctor I see that treats all his patients with the utmost care. He is what I believe most people look for in a doctor but what most never find anymore, because he puts his patients first and the care he gives is outstanding and this is just not for the first visit but he gives outstanding care each and every time I have seen him and you can really believe me on this because he has been treating my chronic illness for over 7 years and I see him one time every month. I know Dr. Kotkes is wonderful, kind, considerate, compassionate, and his bedside manor is excellent there is only one other thing he is better at than all the stuff I have mentioned and that is his knowledge in his field of medicine.

Very satisfied, took the time to explain to me about my knee issues. Dr. Kotkes answered all my questions in detail. He gave me an injection which worked miracles after so much pain. I could finally say I feel so much better and pain free.
