Robert Eli Cole, M.D. Dr. Cole strives to maintain a "low-key" practice setting. Each patient is treated as a unique individual. Questions regarding procedures are answered honestly, thoroughly and in an unhurried manner. Many of the procedures can be performed in one of the country's most premier, state-of-the-art, outpatient centers (SCSM). Doctor Cole believes that such care promotes faster healing and a sense of well-being postoperatively. He feels it is important to approach the new millennium remaining current with the advances in surgical techniques and therapies, but to also embrace the past with its unique and special one-to-one wholesome patient/physician bond.
