Beware: Dr Cole and his staff are impossible to get ahold of. He will ignore you if you leave messages and calls thru the ARC’s nurses line.

Dr Cole didn’t like that I needed to close my eyes while we spoke due to the bright lights in the exam room during my visit. He told me to “look him in the eyes while we spoke” as if I was a child.

I had TIAs and a heart attack and one day my left arm felt numb and squeezed.
