He was opened and explained to my understanding.

03/17/2025

Dr. Cockrell is a true professional and very courteous.

03/12/2025

Dr. Cockrell was amazing! He listened to me, gave me the options, and quickly scheduled a procedure to alleviate my pain.

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.

03/04/2025

My experience at Premiere Urology was great from the beginning to the end. The staff was very professional and knowledgeable, I would recommend them to anyone.

02/26/2025

I was very nervous about the appointment and the nurses and the doctor did their best to put me at ease and it was a very enjoyable experience for what it was. Thank you.

02/27/2025

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.

02/21/2025

Follow my doctor from the Baton Rouge clinic

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.

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.

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

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 .

10/21/2024

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

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.

New office runs smoothly and staff is professional and friendly.

09/03/2024

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.

09/04/2024
