    I've always been very happy with Dr. Cody's attention to various needs of mine, colonoscopies, hernia repair. I also know that he's very highly regarded by staff in the hospital, from the nurses to the aides to nurses, as theologist and others. So I have a lot of confidence in Dr. Cody's care, and that's about it.

    The receptionist was absolutely wonderful. She couldn't be kinder and more helpful to me. Dr. Cody just reassured me and put me at ease. I'm a very nervous patient and he was just wonderful. I can't thank him enough for his care, his understanding. He even called my husband and spoke to him after we had gone there to speak to him because I got real nervous and I didn't understand and he called my husband and talked to him. I'm so very, very happy. I absolutely, if I could give him a hundred, I'd give him a 100 rating. Thank you all so much. I appreciate it. Bye-bye.

    Dr Cody was spot on with what was causing my pain. He advised me that Physical Therapy would be the best option for me. I followed his advice and saw a Physical Therapist who evaluated me and my area of pain. She confirmed Dr Cody's diagnosis. If it wasn't for Dr Cody I would have never known why I was having pain which at times was a 10 on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being unbearable. I felt so happy that he listened to me, and made me feel comfortable and directed me to my road to recovery. Now I can look forward to an enjoyable and pain free rest of the summer, the slopes in the winter and throwing in some horseback riding all year round! TY Dr Cody-you're the BEST!!!
