Cockrell Family Medical Ctr

I came in as a new patient, work-in appt. This was on a Thursday, the weekend before 4th of July. I had fever, headache, chills, coughing.. I lay about the waiting room as other patients, clearly not in distress were seen first. I understand if you have an appointment you should be seen as close to on time as possible. I don't understand not having some sort of triage in place, so that your possibly infectious NEW patient doesn't infect others. But maybe that's a way to increase business & keep established patients coming back, expose them to sick patients as long as you can.. I was literally the last person seen that day, the front office staff had gone. He looked at my ears & throat, my temp was taken, told me I had the flu & I was given a sinus cocktail shot, sent home with rx for a zpak & cough medicine. more

He's a great doctor if you can take off work to see him. His availability has decreased considerably over the years he has been in town. You usually have to see the nurse practitioners, who are great themselves. For some things, though, you want to see the doctor and to do that you have to be there during his very limited hours. more

Dr Cockrell is the best Dr I've ever been to. He actually listens to what you say, believes you, and cares. Pros: great Dr Cons: doesn't take medicaid more
