Dr. Coggins has the greatest bedside manner. Professional but gentile. I don't want anyone else ! However, I HATE how difficult it is to get in touch with this practice via a simple phone call.. Your patients are also professionals and playing telephone tag is frustrating. The next generation will most likely bring back good customer care with a more personal touch.
