Patient Reviews
Apr 21, 2019
Dr. Coats is amazing! Works in his practice and as a hospitalist, he is one of the very few doctors to do this. In the 26 years of being his patient, I can say that the previous review of him always going on vacation or leaving the office for weeks is such a lie. In fact, he is just the opposite! I have always been able to schedule an appointment within a reasonable time. He doesn't stare at the computer like other doctors, he has one of the best bed side manners and treats you like a VIP human
