I am a patient as well as a nurse, and I have found Dr. Cotes, to be one of the best Gynecologists I have ever met. He is patient, kind, knowledgeable, and treats every patient as an individual. He listened to me when I told him there was something not right with my body, and ended up saving my life. He is without a doubt, a wonderful Doctor.

After waiting more than two hours for an appointment, I gave up. Ridiculous!

Submitted Sept. 15, 2015

I will NOT recommend this doctor to ANYONE. Throughout my entire pregnancy I MET the man one time..plus waited 2+ hours to be seen by a PA..the PA's are wonderful but I expected to see the doctor more than once. The staff is very friendly,but wait times are WAY too long. Sitting 9 months pregnant for 1.5 to 2 hours to ridiculous and when you have a newborn baby for your checkup very inconvenient!!!

Dr cotes is a great doctor I had a very complicated pregnancy and I was very well taken care of. Only issue ive ever had was having to wait past my appointment times.

Dr. Cotes is truly wonderful! He is caring and takes the time to answer any questions you may have. He has wonderful bedside manner and takes great care to make sure his patients are well taken care of. The wait times can be bad, but it is also worth it because you don't feel rushed through your appointment. He has delivered both of my boys now 10 and 7 and has done a procedure recently to help with my menst. cycles. He checked on me via phone while I was at home recovering and even gave me his cell phone number in case anything arose that I needed to get a hold of him for. Truly a great doctor!

Dr Cotes is a very caring doctor. He doesn't consider your socioeconomic or ethical background when treating you. He is just as polite to everyone. He always shakes both your and your spouse's hand when entering and leaving your room, accompanied by a smile. He is very gentle with exams, more so than women, which isn't normally the case. He has been my doctor for my last three pregnancies which have been higher risk and included many hospital stays. When I was in hospital, he would usually make rounds at least 3 times a day. He is very cautious with his both Mom and baby. This is what matters. Wait times can be long, but who wants a doctor that will only give you 2 minutes of fame?! he actually knows your name, your occupation, how many children you have, etc. without having to look at your chart. Dr Cotes is GENUINELY concerned. I have had experiences with other Ob's in Beckley area, and Dr Cotes far surpasses them! He is a great, knowledgeable, and competent doctor.

Staff was great, waiting time sucked, only saw Dr. Cotes 3 or 4 times my whole pregnancy, the PA or nurse or whatever when I went to have my child complained because he wouldn't crown and she wanted to leave, had to have a c-section due to their stupidity (which was the first time I saw him for the whole delivery) and would not tell me why I could not have my child vaginal. I will NOT have him be my doctor for my second child.
