Had a follow up with Dr. Kola for a refill and status of a prior authorization. Dr. Kola understood my needs and will appeal a RFA procedure.

Dr Kola is the best. He is patient, kind, empathetic and knowledgeable. He's my go to doctor when I need referrals, if I have questions or if I need medical advice. I won't see any other doctor but him!

Dr. Cole is a miracle worker,
I had four bad pain points when I saw him the first time in April '26 (right knee, right foot, right hip & low back). I was a hot mess. He got me on some Depo shots for the pain. He took me all the way out of any pain. These are a steroids which can last usually 30-120 days. They got me out of pain & reduced the inflammation, by the time I got to the car. Because of Medicare, I could only have one shot per week.
For longer term relief, I then went back for some Exosomes shots in my back & hips & thumbs.
Great experience! If you think you only have one option and that is to get a joint replacement surgery, you are wrong. These exosomes will be the future. Ask about them if you aren't already in the know. Peace.

I was in intense pain and in need of meds that would give me some relieve. Dr. Cole is the best Dr. to seek when in pain, but because insurance regulations could not administered an injection that I desperately need it. It is very sad, that in the USA, the best country in the world, a highly qualified Dr. is limited by the a health broken system.

I came to Dr. Cole for a second opinion after being told I needed neck surgery. Dr. Cole, after a thorough examination of my spine and neck, explained what is causing my symptoms and laid out a treatment plan which he feels will allow me to avoid surgery. My symptoms are improving and I couldn’t be more pleased with the procedures and care I have received, not only from Dr. Cole, but also from his entire staff. Thank you Dr. Cole for taking the time to review my X-rays, MRI’s, and my medical records and for laying out a well thought out plan that is slowly but surely giving me my life back.

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the lack of communication from Dr. Cole and your office.I am still waiting for a return phone call following a inquiry I made in August 2025.
Fourteen months ago, I received a stem cell injection in my hip, but I have not experienced any improvement in my condition. Further more, I am still waiting for return phone call. It appears that the only way to speak with Dr.Cole is through a paid Zoom consultation, which I find very frustrating giving my unresolved concerns.

It's one thing to be told what the problem is. It's another thing to be told and made aware what actually is the root cause... but the plan and treatment that Dr. Cole and Dr. Kola is on another level. I truly appreciate Dr. Kola, Dr. Cole and Dr. Lilly as they seem to get it right when so many of my other previous doctors have gotten it wrong.
If you're looking for an Orthopedic practice that's results driven then look no further than right here at OrthoMed.
