Patient Reviews

October 30, 2024
I was so pleased, couldn't have asked for a better experience. He was very knowledgeable and a great communicator. I'm NOT, but I was as comfortable as I could be under the circumstances. Such a relief to find a doctor like that; there seem to be so few now.

Best awesome service than anywhere

The only problem that it took months to get an appointment
July 25, 2024
Dr. Cochran is patient, attentive and always makes sure we understand the path forward. Always answers our questions without making us feel like our questions are "dumb". We are so fortunate to have him. Staff is amazing.
July 23, 2024
Thank you.
July 16, 2024
very good doctor

Dr Cochran is very thorough. He listens to all my questions and concerns. I would certainly recommend him to all my friends and family.
July 05, 2024
Dr. Cochran is has an excellent demeanor and is very kind and caring physician.
July 02, 2024
My interaction with office staff was substandard. First, I called to request an order for a B-12 blood test. Instead, the office ordered a refill of my prescription for the B-12. So I had to call again and get than straightened out. Second, I had to wait 40 minutes past my appointment time to see the doctor. I understand things happen that can delay a doctor, but I feel I should be shown the courtesy of being advised that the doctor has a problem and is being delayed, instead of just sitting in the exam room by myself.
June 24, 2024
Dr. Cochran has been my neurologist for two years and has provided excellent care for me. His staff is very helpful and sensitive to any needs that the patient may have coming in with as well as Dr. Cochran. Thank you.
June 21, 2024
Everything was explained and I had a very professional treatment.
June 17, 2024
Complete sadisfied
May 24, 2024
While De. Cochran is very busy and it's hard to get an appt, I believe that he's worth the wait. He was attentive, listened to what I had to say, and asked questions. He made me feel like he cared about my well-being.
May 23, 2024
The office staff was loud, chatty, high pitch laughter dominated, while a patient was struggling with highly elevated BP and hives in the room with office viscinity. Yet the nurses who were in charge of taking my vitals were seriously doing their job. I wish I could remember the name of the particular one who realized that the BP reading fixed on the wall was not working, and she fixed it, by changing the connection.
May 20, 2024
He is approachable and very friendly. Highly recommend.
May 17, 2024
Dr. Cochran seemed great. My one problem with the office itself is being seated in urgent care that the same waiting room, you know, to go to a different office, you have to wait there or fill out paperwork there. And it's right next to or in the middle of all the people that are waiting for urgent care. That doesn't sound very healthy for someone who's not sick. Okay, thank you.
May 13, 2024
Dr. Cochran has been very helpful, trying new medications to see if we can solve my issue. He listens patiently and attentively and takes the time needed. Thank you!
May 10, 2024
He needs to learn more. He needs to not be in such a rush. I like USC and UCI better but they don't take Medicare HMO. I Tod Dr. Cochran I need all 200 units of Botox. I saw at least.25 left in the vial. I hope he does better next time.
May 10, 2024
The nurse was especially friendly and helpful. The doctor was young and cute! I felt at ease with him.
May 07, 2024
VERY THOROUGH AND INFORMATIVE.
May 03, 2024
I was treated very well by everyone who was with me. I have a little problem with my mind, but everything was very well managed, everything was very good. So, I am invited for the next appointment, they have to call me. Everything was very good, very kind.
May 03, 2024
He's patient and understanding!
April 29, 2024
They treated me very well and everything they are asking is fine.
April 26, 2024
Dr. Cochran has had to help share some very difficult news with my family including helping support us and provide good clarity on context and context on what is happening. Very much appreciate his compassionate level of care!
April 24, 2024
The doctor gets an A Plus!! My daughter attended the appointment with me and he treated us both very kindly. Blessings to him!!
April 11, 2024
Dr. Cochran is always very kind, courteous, professional, very caring. I really enjoy being one of his patients. Thank you.
April 08, 2024
Dr. Cochran is a God sent!
March 22, 2024
In my opinion, I would really like the exam to be done sooner because I wanted to make an appointment and they even left it for people. I think it's too long to do the test, so they have to do it for me. It's my opinion that I would like it. that the appointments went faster, thank you.
March 20, 2024
I think PIH has the best group of doctors. They take care of you. They take their time with you. And I don't think you're gonna improve much because they're great. Everybody working for the hospital. Thank you.
March 19, 2024
Took too long to get an appointment. Otherwise, Dr. Cochran was great.
March 12, 2024
Dr. Cochran is a fine doctor. Totally knowledgeable and approachable.
March 11, 2024
Okay,
March 07, 2024
Great doc
February 28, 2024
Experience has shown that it would be convenient and when they prescribe a visit (unreadable).
February 23, 2024
He is a great doctor.
February 16, 2024
I am very fortunate to have Dr Cochran as my neurologist. He always listens to my concerns and provides answers to my questions that are easy for me and my wife to understand.
February 09, 2024
PIH seems to need more neurologists. The quickest appointment I could get was four months away.
February 09, 2024
Everyone is a good listener and attentive
February 02, 2024
Doctor cared! And showed respect!
January 31, 2024
He was very unpolite. Never said good morning, never said hi. He was very, very unfriendly.
January 23, 2024
From the time I entered to check in to the end of my appointment I was treated with kindness and respect. Dr. Cochran was very attentive, didn't diminish my concerns or symptoms and addressed all of my issues, questions and gave a lot of information and reassurance.
January 19, 2024
The Dr. Cochran was, I found him a little bit rude, sarcastic I would say. That's all I have to say about that. Thank you.
January 12, 2024
I really liked Dr Cochran, it's just that it was difficult to get an appt, made especially hard by having to reschedule my initial appt due to my having Covid
January 05, 2024
Great doctor!!!
January 03, 2024
Dr. Cochran could not have been kinder and more thoughtful. I did receive a very serious diagnosis, Parkinson's. He did everything to allay my anxiety. He had so many things to show me and tell me and websites. He's got me scheduled to come back as soon as I can with my husband because he wants to answer all our questions. I got bad news medically, but I gained a fantastic doctor. I'm hoping forever.
January 02, 2024
My experience was good except for the advance check-in process. I got stuck in the advertisements following the check-in. I had to exit out of the website and start over. I understand why you have ads, but this is very, very frustrating.
December 22, 2023
Very good dr.
December 21, 2023
I like it because he listens to me and doesn't make me feel like an idiot. And I like that very much.
December 11, 2023
He's very nice and also his staff.
December 04, 2023
Our relationship had been fruitful and productive.
November 30, 2023
Thank you.
November 29, 2023
It was the first time that I'd been there before and everybody was very kind and helpful and ...very considerate. My appointment was fast. The first time I'd seen the doctor, he explained everything, my results and everything, and explained everything very well. I was really impressed and I'm happy with his service. And everybody in the building did a fantastic job. Thank you very much. Thank you.
November 28, 2023
The office staff, from the very start at registration was very nice, then with the doctor and that staff. It was also very nice. Very clean building, very comfortable enough seating. I would say the people at this particular PIH facility treated us better in a better attitude than what was at the PIH with Dr. (name removed). Dr. (name removed) is excellent, but the office staff it varies, it's, some are very good and one lady was just not nice. Anyway, thank you.
