    Sad that she is leaving. Dr Cotran will be deeply missed by me. You have lost the BEST professional Dr you have. She is honest and caring and a true professional. I hope that you can find someone else like her for your practice.

    Yes, Dr. Cotran has been my PCP for over 25 years and she's leaving to work with cancer patients. So this was my final visit with her and like I said, she's been my provider for 25 years and done all the things the correct way and supportive of my condition. And well, I have to find a new one and it's very hard to replace somebody after such a long time. Anyway, she'll be great with the oncology patients and I wish her well. And that's it. I'll be reaching out to the Brigham to get a new PCP. All right, so that's it. It's an end of Veneera. Thank you so much.

    Dr. Cotran is "The Best". She has been my Primary for a while. It is sad she is moving over to practice at the main campus, and I will miss her. I am also happy that arrangements have been made for a new Primary physician. I look forward to continuing my health care at BWH.

    This was my first appointment with Dr. Cotran and she was wonderful. She knew about me from my medical records, but she took the time to get to know me better and ask additional questions that were not in my chart. She explained everything clearly and always asked if I had questions.

    I have seen Dr. Cotran for years she is one of the best people that I have ever had. She's very understanding she gets me, but I also know when she's serious about my care like when I don't wanna take medications and she knows that I need them. She lets me know it's something that I have to do. I literally would not want anyone else but her but her she's absolutely the best.

    Dr. Cotran has been my PCP for a very long time, and during these many years, she has been phenomenal. There have been many changes as the years go by, and she has always been right there with me to help me and to support me. I could not have ever asked for a better doctor. I am glad that she's going on to other things now, but I have felt that great, great confidence having her as my doctor. And I will, of course, miss her, but know that she's still around. Thank you.

    We (hubby included) were beyond impressed with Dr Cotran. Very thorough, kind, and caring. What her team of radiologists found in previously done scans was huge. (and missed by the original radiologists out here in Springfield.) Plans were made for the appropriate needed tests to confirm, and they are getting me scheduled quite quickly. No 2nd opinion needed, as I am quite confident in the wisdom and ability to receive excellent care at MGB.
