“Dr. Cothran is what I wish every doctor was like—warm, attentive, and knowledgeable. She takes the time to know you, listens seriously without dismissing, and always explains things in a way that makes me feel validated and informed along the way. She really treats you as a whole human, not just a specific symptom.”
