I was told Dr. Cole would use ultrasound to view my hand during the procedure. Instead, he told me that he held a three- dimensional view of my hand in his mind. I don’t know how that happens.
Upon completion, Dr Cole told me that he only used 3cc instead of 5cc. I don’t know why or if I was charged for the entire amount. I would have preferred a third person, either an assistant or my spouse, in the room while the injection was done.
Within three days, the tingling and numbness returned.

The reason you are probably reading this review is because your are in pain! To me pain meant: being in pain daily; having very disrupted and low quality sleep; being miserable and moody with those around me; feeling physically frustrated; and Advil becoming my best friend. Two right knee meniscus surgeries and several cortisone injections later I was desperate for some relief. My poor right knee had been subjected to a lot as an ex semi-pro soccer player and a fifteen year firefighter and fire instructor I was being told by many that my only option was knee replacement surgery. I was not ready to accept that this was my only option. I started to do some research and stumbled across Dr. Cole online. What was shocking to me was his Venice office was also just around the corner from my home. From my first phone call to his office - where a very helpful individual actually answered the phone (yes a human being!) the experience has been life changing. Yes that sounds pretty dramatic but it is the truth. Dr. Cole is a physician that actually listens to you - takes the time to hear you - actually examines you and gives you the patient choices. His kindness and that of all of his staff is endless. Quickly you feel part of the Orthomed family! Your treatment options are exactly that - yours with no upselling. I am pleased to say that the investment I made in my right knee after being educated on my options - was exactly that a wonderful investment in my quality of life. I am delighted with the results as is my family. I am pain free and returning to doing the things I love to without pain. I cannot speak highly enough of the experience and you will not find a more genuine person than Dr. Cole. A special shout out to the front desk team too - their professionalism is refreshing! Thanks you to the whole team - my quality of life has been improved dramatically! I urge anyone in pain to go have a consult with Dr. Cole and team.

I have had chronic pain that began about 25 years ago. Until recently, I took a lot of over-the-counter meds to eliminate the pain. However, I discovered that the OTC’s are really not working as well as they should. I did an Internet research and found Dr. Kola, to be a fantastic, Dr and Pro providing me with the necessary skills to eliminate my pain. I highly recommend his practice and his group which are just as phenomenal as he is.

At 65 I have had terrible lumbar and SI joint pain for several years. I tried other doctors for help to no avail and then found Dr. Cole from a friends recommendation. He literally has taken my pain down to zero with stem cell and PRP injections. I have been amazed at the effectiveness of his treatments! No surgery just helping the body to heal itself. HOW TRUE.

I highly recommend Dr Kola for your pain management needs. Dr Kola listens to understand your needs not just to reply. He spends a generous amount of time with patients and I’ve never felt rushed or neglected. I’ve had other doctors over the years due to cancer but he is by far the most caring and knowledgeable!
His office staff and assistants are just as caring and supportive as well!

Dr William Cole literally saved my life! I am only 39 years old but came to him in severe pain caused by 2 bulging discs in my cervical spine. They were causing severe nerve pain, headaches and inflammation. Dr Cole spent over an hour in my initial consult listening to me and discussing options. Through blood work, he found a genetic mutation causing my inflammation and the epidural into my spine literally brought my pain level from a 15 to a 0. I was almost suicidal before he helped me. He is a brilliant doctor and his staff ia also so kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

Dr. Kola takes time and I felt like I was going to get the help I needed. I fell and my right arthritic hip was very painful and I was not able to do my daily activities. I have been seeking orthopedic solutions instead of surgery. Dr. Kola is patient and takes time to do the treatment needed. I have arthritis and I will need continued treatment. However I am back to daily activities, and I am so glad I found Dr. Kola.
