Cherry Cockrell's Online Review Report Card

My mother is elderly and is a patient of dr cockrell.Dr cockrell takes her time with my mom and communicates well with her. My mom loves dr cockrell!

She is very argumentative. She took over for my prior doctor (changed specialties) and does not take the time to look at my medical history at all and has been repeatedly rejecting to order blood tests that my prior doctor ordered every year due to my chronic health issues. The tests are inexpensive and I pay for them anyway out of pocket mostly (I have a high-deductible for my insurance). The tests are not normal for my age but I have health issues not normal for my age and the tests are very standard for those health issues. She doesn't take the time to look over my medical history nor the notes from my prior doctor of many years and just denies ordering the tests with the attitude that she is the doctor and I have no say in my health or what blood tests I can get? I've gotten to the point of sending her links to the Mayo Clinic and other reputable websites like PubMed due to her not being able to understand what these very common blood tests are for.

After becoming the new doctor at my local family clinic, she is suddenly leaving (less than three months). I wonder if many others have complained about her also?

I always leave Dr. Cockrell’s office feeling my concerns were heard. Lately I have been having a particularly hard time and she has been there for me beyond expectations - not only quickly identifying what direction to go for a diagnosis, but also taking the time to guide me through obstacles with specialists and follows up with me to ensure my care stays on track. She is the perfect example of what a good primary care provider should be. I highly recommend her - if I could put over 5 stars, I would.

Dr. Cockrell was amazing! She actually listened to me, and my concerns. I've had doctors just look at me confused when I try to explain my issues, and not give any kind of advice to solutions. That is not what Dr. Cockrell did, she looked listened and understood what I was trying to explain. She gave clear and understandable instructions and advice, and we even schedule a follow-up appointment during the visit, so I wouldn't have to call back.

Dr. Cockrell’s bedside manner is absolutely exceptional. I found her to be more attentive than most Drs and she really knows her stuff. Its not hard to get in for an emergency appointment and the waiting room is huge for social distancing. She was able to clear up an issue that stumped my previous doctor. I moved out of state over a year ago and I don’t think I’ll ever find someone I liked and respected as much as Dr. C!

Dr. Cockrell is literally the best! I am so thankful to finally find MY doctor! A doctor that listens to her patients, is so genuinely kind, and is an expert at what she does.

She is just fantastic. Smiles, playful but totally serious when it comes to my health. Going to her is like talking to a friend who is your doctor. No matter is trivial but not pushy about my tendencies to put off stuff. I really like my doc.

I am extremely satisfied with the level of care that Dr. Cockrell provides. During monthly appointments for a chronic condition, she continually spends the time needed to listen to my thoughts and questions. More importantly, she fully explains her treatment recommendations. If there are different treatment options, she outlines the pros and cons of each and a decision is made in partnership. I've referred my wife and several co-workers and highly recommend others as well.
