I love Dr. Trent Cole. He is the best!!! We drive further to see him at the Oakdale location due to ... the cottage Grove location is horrid! Horrible customer service and never answer their phones. No vm either. Love Dr. Cole!!!

Dr Cole was thorough and clear in his explanations. He really thought about my eyes/ vision and made... a plan specific to me.
