Dr. Rich is awesome! (implants and crowns are his JAM) Dr. Martin is better than good (all 4 wisdom teeth pulled with absolutely ZERO pain – and quick. Pam is also awesome (gentle and thorough cleanings with a smile… great personality) and L.A. is even MORE awesome in the office (need to make easy payments? No problem… she’s got you!) Our entire family goes here with all 4 kids enjoying their Invisalign! 😁👍
Dr Martin is amazing having bad anxiety and ptsd due to previous dental procedures in a different state. With Dr Martin’s patience I was able to get a tooth extracted today. Chantel is amazing and I always ask for her she has a heart of gold her kindness and compassion make her standout and ypu can tell she loves her job. Dr Martin is patient and kind. Ashley is great to if Chantel is not there I always see Ashley. The office staff are always so friendly and stand out. Thank you Dr Martin for your patience for explaining everything and for putting my mind at rest Chantel thanks for not leaving my side as always and talking to me the whole time and Ashley thank you for your kindness. I never felt anything when my tooth was pulled those 3 had me laughing. Thank you all for making it easier I am in shock that I was able to achieve this due to past experiences, that’s a testament of great service and the great people that work here. The environment is kind, caring and you are valued. Highly recommend. Keep rocking it, Lisa
Dr. Cottrell and his staff were great. Check in was easy and I was done in no time. They answered all my questions. They were professional too. He also did my implants and there were no complications. I would definitely recommend others go to Dr. Cottrell’s office. Thank you, Dr. Cottrell and his Staff for making this a great experience.
Starting my Invisalign journey today! I met with Betty today and she provided excellent customer service. She was patient, kind, detailed and knowledgeable. She eased my fears, answered my questions and took her time with me. She was Amazing!
Betty – You Rock!!
Dr Martin is absolutely the best. I haven’t had to have a tooth removed in over 30 years. He removed a tooth yesterday and I have not had any pain. The only thing I’ve taken is Tylenol. Dr. Martin thank you for making this a great experience.
Have gone to Cottrell Dentistry for over 4 years and always have a pleasant experience with cleanings and only filling I’ve had in about 30 years. Music in background contributes to the experience. They stream widely approved music genre. Even if I don’t like a specific song, it provides a pleasant setting during my visit.
I have pretty severe dental anxiety after a traumatic experience with a scummy dentist years ago. On top of that, I find the noises (drills, scraping, etc) and sensations (gross tastes, gritty toothpastes, discomfort and occasionally pain) associated with dental work overstimulating. We move around frequently for my husband’s job, and finding a new practice I’m comfortable with after every move is stressful. This, however, is the best dental clinic I’ve ever been to. They are busy but also very good about scheduling you quickly for an appointment between your cleanings if you have an emergency. For example, I called them at 3 this afternoon to ask if something going on with my jaw is a big deal, and the lady scheduled me for an appointment first thing tomorrow morning. They’ve done this for me before when a temporary crown came out. I appreciate how they do their best to get you in right away when you’re experiencing discomfort or pain.
I have been here many times, and I like all the staff that has worked with me so far. Ashley is the best hygienist I’ve ever had. She has made me feel comfortable to the point I don’t really stress before a cleaning anymore. She has a quiet, confident demeanor, and she is friendly and funny. I appreciate that she talks to me like I’m an adult when I’m feeling anxious or overwhelmed. She’s never adopted that loud, overly cheerful voice some people use, like they’re placating a cranky toddler. She’s calm and matter of fact, and I find that so reassuring. She works gently yet efficiently, checks in to ask if I’m ok, offers to give me a quick break, tells me each step of the procedure ahead of time, and doesn’t mind explaining again if my mind was racing the first time 😬
Ashley truly cares about the state of your teeth. She will tell you if you didn’t brush or floss as well as you think you did. Not in a rude or mean way and not to make you feel bad either, but to teach you how to better care for your luxury bones. You can’t improve if no one shows you how to do it properly. Ashley will also celebrate your excellent brushing and flossing habits the next time you come in (if you happen to be the type to brag about flossing and brushing every night 🤧). She’ll also brag on you to the dentist. How awesome is that?!
I’ve seen both dentists, and I like them both. They don’t make me feel silly for asking questions and answer them all thoroughly. Dr. Cottrell did my root canal and crown. He explained what to expect ahead of time, but I was still STRESSED. Of course, it ended up being totally fine and painless. Dr. Martin listened to my complaint about extreme tooth sensitivity and prescribed a fluoride toothpaste that has really made a difference.
In a nutshell, I’m a huge fan of this office. Everyone I’ve interacted with has made caring for my teeth more pleasant and therefore more of a priority in my daily life. I’m so thankful for everyone here.
Dr. Cottrell is an excellent dentist. I had a dental emergency and was able to phone his office on the weekend. He saw me immediately and followed up throughout the week. Routine cleanings are very thorough and the staff is wonderful in discovering how much insurance will cover prior to the recommended procedure. The office also supports our King George community through many donations and volunteering. Highly recommend!
Highly recommend Dr. Cottrell and Associates for your dentistry needs! I needed to get my child in for a toothache before leaving for vacation and they were able to quickly accommodate me. The team was fantastic with my child! Thank you, Dr. Martin, Dr. Cottrell and team!
Absolutely wonderful people here. Dr. Cottrell is fantastic and he’s helped me out so much in such a short time. His staff is friendly and they’re fantastic at what they do too. I’m so happy with my dental work! Their office is first class, clean, up to date, comfortable, and you never wait. Give them a shot, you won’t be disappointed
Sleep apnea is the periodic blockage of your airway during sleep. Your tongue and other soft tissues in the back of your throat relax to the point where they block your airway, usually without any awareness that this is happening. This causes you to stop breathing momentarily before waking up just long enough to take a few normal breaths.
Sleep apnea is harmful because it blocks your oxygen supply while you’re sleeping. This interferes with your sleep and leaves you feeling weak and tired the next day. However, sleep apnea has also been linked to serious health concerns like heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. Treating sleep apnea can improve your quality of life as well as your life expectancy.
Yes, you are quite likely to feel fatigued if you suffer from sleep apnea. This sleep disorder prevents you from reaching the stages of deep sleep, including REM sleep. Without deep sleep, you will experience the effects of sleep deprivation. That can leave you feeling tired and dealing with daytime sleepiness.
