Patient Comments
Dr. Cove is a dying breed. He is by far the most attentive, understanding, encouraging and comforting provider I have and does more to attend to my whole being than any other provider. He Is old school trained (before EMRs ) and balances documentation and engaged conversation expertly.

My Care Provider was great , Thank You Dr. Cove .
Aug 11, 2024
Dr. Cove is a wonderful physician and an expert clinician. He took time to carefully and thoughtfully listen to my questions and concerns; was very thorough in his approach and did a terrific job explaining his thoughts and the recommended plan of care moving forward. He has a wonderful and delightful bedside manner and I feel very comfortable and safe in his care. I have had a very long and difficult health journey over the past 4 years and am so very grateful to have him as part of my medical team. He cares for my Father as well and we both just think the world of him. Thank you Dr. Cove for taking such good care of me and for also taking such good care of my Father. It means the world to me and I am most appreciative.

I'm 76 years old and sometimes a little anxious and overly talkative. Dr. Cove's demeanor and way of communicating gave me confidence and calmed me down. I have had a lot of doctors in my lifetime and Dr. Cove would rate as my number one chose.
