Dr. Cole Tunnell consistently receives exceptional praise from patients for his outstanding bedside manner and communication skills.

Patients also share
Very few areas for improvement emerge from these reviews. One patient felt the visit was cursory and that the doctor didn't seem interested in their conversation. Another patient expressed a desire to have all testing completed in a single day rather than scheduling follow-up appointments. One review mentioned the doctor could improve communication regarding the seriousness of medical problems. A single patient noted they expected lab tests during a follow-up visit rather than relying solely on verbal updates. These concerns represent isolated experiences among hundreds of overwhelmingly positive reviews.
