Everyone was nice, respectful & knowledgeable and showed patience.

I like the way the provider provided other options other than medicine necessarily. They provided vitamins and other homeopathic options.

Overall had a good experience

10/09/2025

It was a great experience. We drove four hours for the appointment and everybody was extremely nice, friendly, and helpful. When I called the next day about my prescription I got an answer within 30 minutes! Definitely the best facility within four hours?

Love everyone at B R G ?

09/16/2025

Dr Cockrell and his staff are very professional and kind!

09/10/2025

So Dr. Ross Cockle is a really good physician. He really knows a lot about it, but he's very personable and he sits down and he just talks with you. And so I'm a big fan of his and I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks.

09/10/2025

Normally when I go to a urologist, the least thing they do is take a urine sample and check for blood instead of asking me if I observe any blood in the urine. Every urologist I've been to on an annual basis, they do a direct rectal exam, but Dr. Ross, I guess, doesn't do that. These are my comments. and observation. Thank you.

09/10/2025

I have been a patient of this doctor before. Excellent experience once again.

09/03/2025

Efficient. Very little wait time and plenty of time with doctor.

09/02/2025

08/20/2025

Dr. Cockrell listens very well and he's very thorough and professional, knowledgeable as well.

08/19/2025

I received my medications through VA. I won't need to pick up the prescriptions from Walmart that the doctor ordered.

08/15/2025

Dr. Cockrell went to great lengths to explain my medical condition to me and my wife. His efforts were with out question the best any doctor has ever explained my condition to me. He's excellent.

08/13/2025

Dr. Cockrell and his staff is very professional and listen to their patients.

08/12/2025

They was very nice

08/06/2025

I have no qualms with the doctors or staff, but I do with the text messages. They are genetic, all stating time and date, but DON'T give the doctors name. Elderly patients such as myself, have numerous doctors !! See the confused. Also, you state our medical findings are in our BR med charts. Did you consider some of us are computer illiterate ...bring back personal calls that would actually benefit old folks.

07/31/2025

This was my first time seeing him and I really liked him so I will go back to him

05/21/2025

I want to say personally, I felt that all my needs were met, 10 out of 10 staff, they got me in very swiftly, even though I was a couple minutes behind, they checked me in very quickly and I appreciate that. It was efficient and they actually cared about the needs that I was going through.

04/21/2025

I saw Dr Cockrell at BR Clinic previously. He is a great physician and is very knowledgeable about the ailments he treats. He has excellent chair side manner and I truly like him. So much, that I followed him from the last office. I feel that he genuinely cares about my health and I will continue to have him treat me.

04/22/2025

He was the perfect doctor! Actively listened to my concern ms & had ready answers & advice.

04/17/2025

The receptionist was extremely friendly and efficient. The nurse was attentive, respectful and appreciated my sense of humor. She was ready to talk to and very professional. Dr. Cockrell was personable and extremely knowledgeable. Offered his opinion and ordered MRI so that we could make a plan with all the available information. I had to call the imaging department to schedule my appointment and the 2 weeks before they could get me in seems kind of excessive.

04/09/2025

I wish that I had listenes to his initial advice 6 months sooner he tried to tell me that the size of my tumor was so large and he had doubts that it would be removed by additional kemo/radiation treatments combined. I Did not listen and went ahead with those treatments which have caused me other problems.

04/09/2025

Dr. Cockrell and his nurse are extremely friendly, courteous and compassionate. I was highly impressed by Dr. Cockrell's outgoing and bubbly personality. He made me feel extremely comfortable when discussing my treatment and addressed any questions or concerns I had. He has to be one of the most outgoing doctors I've ever met!

04/08/2025

I enjoyed the doctor visit at the new location. This was my first experience with the new facility. As far as parking and accessibility, I found it to be an improvement over the older clinic.

04/04/2025

I have had Dr. Cockrell as my doctor for the last 5 years and he has always treated me with respect. I will use him as my doctor as long as I need too.

03/18/2025

03/17/2025

Dr. Cockrell is a true professional and very courteous.

03/12/2025

Had a catheter inserted and doing quite well. Need and appointment to remove catheter. Urine clear.

03/11/2025

Great care and respect for the patient. Everyone was friendly, which helps the patient relax. I feel welcome there.

03/05/2025

He's just about the best doctor I've ever seen. They're just good-natured people that are really concerned about my husband getting all right, and we couldn't find anybody any better. Thank you. Bye.

03/06/2025

I have to wait forever when I call the nursing staff. And then I start off first in the queue, and then I end up in the third in the queue. How do you go backwards when you're waiting on hold? And then they didn't do anything I asked them to do. I asked them to set up my ability to donate blood, and they didn't do it at all. So I will not be using this provider again. His nursing staff is awful.

03/04/2025

Doctor was very professional and knowledgeable. Very easy to speak with.

03/06/2025

Dr. Cockrell is at the top of his class.

They were all very professional but also very personal for us

02/27/2025

Great doctor Dr Ross

02/26/2025

Dr Cockrell always has been very attentive to my needs and listened to my concerns. He insures that I understand his replys to any concerns that I may have.

02/26/2025

It was not as bad as I had made up in my mind. It was pleasant.

02/26/2025

Front desk and medical staff were excellent. The wait time was a bit excessive. I had a 2:50 appointment in which I got there 30+ minutes beforehand and wasn't seen until around 3:30pm.

02/25/2025

Just slow down just a little bit- I realize I am Medicate and there is no money in Medicare but I am probably old enough to be your Mother-is that the way you treat your Mother??

02/25/2025

The nurses were very professional as were the the lady's that help w my procedure. Dr cockrell is a wonderful doctor w great bedside manners..

02/25/2025

Dr. Cockrell is always very professional and willing to listen. He always has logical and well thought out recommendations.

02/12/2025

Thankful very much for the quick response to scheduling my appointment for first time visit with the doctor. Pleased with my experience with the urologist.

02/11/2025

I had to go off-site to do ultrasound. Should be there in the office.

02/12/2025

Great experience and professionalism

02/11/2025

Very happy with the staff and Doctor very professional and courteous.

02/04/2025

He is very kind and listens to all our issues.

01/30/2025

I liked

01/30/2025

Thank you.

01/29/2025

Very satisfied with my experience yesterday at BR General. Dr. Cockrell is an excellent doctor and I am glad to be in his care.

01/23/2025

All of my care was excellent including the front desk and Dr. Cockrell and all of his staff. They were wonderful. Thank you.

01/14/2025

I was very satisfied with the service that he gave me and the information that he talked to me and my husband. If what he's trying, I'm going to take some pills he gave me for three weeks and he's supposed to call me back and ask me how it's working. And there's another option he mentioned that he could do, you know, if that didn't work out for me. But I'm very happy with Dr. Cockrell. Thank you.

01/15/2025

It was a great experience. Everyone treated me well and took good care of me. Thanks!

01/08/2025

I was very satisfied with the level of care I received during my visit as a new patient. I was able to get a same day appointment and when I arrived the facility was clean. Dr. Ross took a great deal of time to ensure I understood my condition and the treatment.

01/07/2025

The Doctor was pleasant and knowledgeable. I like him.

01/08/2025

Dr and his staff was very friendly

01/08/2025

Doctor said I didn't have a particular problem but prescribed me medication for it? Didn't seem to have time to talk to me or concerned about it. So I will be seeking another opinion and will have to pay another copay.

01/08/2025

All good

01/08/2025

Very positive upbeat Dr. I trust him

01/07/2025

Timely and professional.

12/18/2024

I was really worried about going to see the urologist, but when he came in the door and he started talking about stuff, just really made me feel comfortable. So probably going to see him again next year.

I would highly recommend this facility to anyone interested in going.

11/14/2024

Very pleased with his service and professionalism

11/13/2024

Absolutely the best bed side manors of any DR I have had experience with.

11/14/2024

This provider went beyond solving my problems. He gave me very useful advice on an issue related to my case, that I didn't realize I needed to know.

11/12/2024

The team was very professional and polite.

11/13/2024

Everything was done in a respectful and timely manner. My experience was great!

11/13/2024

Very professional front office, nurse and doctor!!

Great visit and experience.

10/31/2024

Dr. Cockrell is a pleasure to work with.

11/01/2024

Have been Dr Cockrell's patient for years but was booked as a new patient due to his changing his practice to BRGH. I expect to be billed as a follow up visit rather than NP

10/31/2024

I found the dr reassuring about my problem even thought I was skeptical and not trusting at the first. He offered me a solution to a different problem. I am to see him again in a month. I have hope the meds he suggested work

10/31/2024

All was good at every level

10/28/2024

Yeah, I would think that. Thought he was gonna send me a prescription in. I never got a call these.

10/28/2024

I have already bragged to friends and family about my experience

10/28/2024

Best experience possible.

10/25/2024

Always a great experience

10/24/2024

The front desk did not have the ability to accept my insurance card electronically. I do not carry physical cards anymore.

10/21/2024

Dr. Cockrell is very professional, courteous, and good with patients. Period. I would ask that you improve your signage, outdoor signage, getting to the building.

10/23/2024

Thank you for asking , great place , keep it up . Very good treatment , clean place , and very attentive .

10/22/2024

Went in for psa blood test but phlebotomist was in break so I have to return for lab work.

10/21/2024

Dr Cockrell and staff were excellent. Was a little disappointed that I had been there before and asked to complete forms as a new patient

10/16/2024

Dr Cockrell was very attentive, and took all the time I needed with him.

10/15/2024

The telephone service is the worst I have ever experienced. I was hung up on 4 times before I was finally connected to my doctor's nurse. The operator said she could help me. I told her that I didn't want to talk with an operator. She said that she was not an operator. I asked if she was a nurse. She answered no. Then she said she was not a nurse. I answered that then she was an operator. She was then very upset with me and I was disconnected. Finally on my 4th try I was connected to Dr. Cockrell's office. I told Dr. Cockrelll that he was going to loose patients or not gain new ones with that lack of service. He said that he'd received many complaints about the telephone system.

10/15/2024

Very professional and concern about me

10/09/2024

Dr. Cockrell is very thorough, knowledgeable and has a calm, reassuring manner. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone.

10/09/2024

Dr. Cockrell is extremely professional, attentive and knowledgeable of my past and present medical status. I appreciate the way he handled his business.

10/09/2024

Dr Cockrell was very thorough and explained things about my condition and treatment that I had never heard before.

10/09/2024

Office staff was friendly and efficient, nurses were knowledgeable, and Dr. Cockrell spent enough time in my room to address my concerns, and provide me with ample information and options moving forward.

10/08/2024

Keep up the good work!

10/04/2024

Dr. Cockrell is a wonderful physician. I feel so well cared for by him and his staff and appreciate them greatly.

10/03/2024

I was disappointed regarding my testosterone that I stated to Dr. Cockrell that I needed to get two injections in the office because I would be leaving and going out of the country and would not have enough of my testosterone. And I was told that they do not do testosterone injections in the office like they did before at their other location that they moved from, which was the Baton Rouge Clinic. So I will have to go without two weeks of my medicine when I go on my vacation out of the country, which is unfortunate. Thank you.

09/27/2024

All good

09/24/2024

Dr. Ross Cockrell was actually very, very intuitive. He led me on with all the information that I needed about the piece that I'm going to do. I would highly, highly recommend him to anyone else going to do what I'm going to do. In fact, he was recommended to me from other people, and so far my experience has just been fantastic. I, yeah, he was awesome.

09/23/2024

Dr. Cockrell is an excellent urologist and surgeon, so much so that I was willing to follow him from his previous practice at The BR Clinic. I have been a patient with various BR clinic doctors for over 24 years.

Short wait time to be called. Doctor listened carefully, didn't seem rushed. Quick responses in MyChart for follow up. Overall, great experience.
