About Dr. William J Cole Jr., DO
Renowned Osteopathic Physiatrist William J Cole Jr., DO, has dedicated his medical career to helping people overcome pain and get back to their lives quickly. Patients from all over the country come to OrthoMed Pain & Sports Medicine, where Dr. Cole provides innovative care from offices in Sarasota and Venice, Florida.
Dr. Cole is the President, Founder, and CEO of OrthoMed® Pain & Sports Medicine, The "kNOwPAIN Institute®," The "kNOwPAIN Foundation®," Doctors Weight Loss NOW®, and proud father of "Dr. Mary Jane®" - "medical-grade CBD," which has replaced up to 50% of the narcotics formerly prescribed in the Certified Pain Clinics in southwest Florida.
Dr. Cole completed training at NYU Rusk Institute in 2004, just after a life-threatening motor vehicle accident deprived him of the use of his most valuable asset: his hands. He underwent the first of seven surgeries in 2000, then subsequently had a One-Level Cervical Decompression in 2013 with multiple restorative treatments, resulting in a tremendous reduction in pain and increase in functional abilities. This was in lieu of a debilitating Four-Level Cervical Fusion with hardware and screws as recommended by traditional neurosurgeons that would have ended Dr. Cole's successful career in Conservative and Interventional Pain Medicine.
As a result, Dr. Cole changed his career path from Orthopedic Surgeon to Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Specialist, thereafter building a very successful outpatient-based multi-location Orthopedic Medicine group serving thousands of local, regional, national, and international clients with customized treatments of the highest quality care, resulting in exceptional outcomes and positively changed lives.
For the last 10 years, Dr. Cole has served as an Assistant Clinical Professor at LECOM/Bradenton, teaching all aspects of Conservative and Interventional Pain Management to build strong community and medical ties to our future classes of physicians, as Dr. Cole believes in giving back to the medical community.
While working with some of the most prominent Orthopedic Surgeons in the US, Dr. Cole has devoted his career to master and perfect the "minimally invasive interventional procedures" to "decrease pain and increase function without narcotics or surgery."
Dr. Cole and his lovely wife, Dr. Liliana Cole, raise their two children by example by serving the South Florida community through "The Know Pain Foundation®." The foundation assists patients in the treatment of severe or chronic illnesses for those who deserve but cannot afford quality healthcare.
Dr. Cole has pioneered multiple safe and effective non-surgical alternatives to surgery or narcotics such as "Dr. Mary Jane," a medical-grade CBD that yields safe and very effective reduction of not only muscle and joint pain, but also can reduce nerve pain, anxiety, glaucoma, ADD, GI, and other disorders as it resets the body into our tranquil "rest and digest" sense of well-being.
Dr. Cole specializes in a variety of trigger point injections, regenerative therapies, and advanced pure PRP treatments via fluoroscopic and ultrasound-guided interventions, with over 60,000 total procedures performed throughout his career. He has also achieved major medical innovations such as "The Sciatica Solution" via the "kNOw PAIN®" approach to diagnose and treat over 10,000 patients with difficult and elusive disorders for the past 15 years with outstanding results.
Dr. Cole even developed a 16 Component National Institute of Health verified IV Essential Vitamin and Mineral therapy to boost immunity, assist in respiratory function, and aid in infection prevention from multiple viruses and bacteria...naturally!
The "kNOw PAIN®" Diagnosis and Treatment System, combined with modern regenerative therapies, followed by "proactive prevention," will enable future doctors to "Have the Body Heal the Body," an absolute paradigm shift in healthcare! Dr. Cole's motto is to "FIND IT, and FIX IT," to get patients "Back to Their Lives Faster, More Fit, and More Functional" than our failed traditional medicine. The goal being exceptional health for Dr. Cole's and all patients today, tomorrow, and in the future.
Dr. Cole has come to the realization that "our patients deserve a better quality of life." He believes that "the future of medicine is to have the body heal the body" through "advanced regenerative technologies" and "replace the drugs in every medicine cabinet in America" with safe, effective, affordable, non-narcotic, and non-addictive medications, such as the "Dr. Mary Jane" - medical-grade CBD. Non-traditional innovators like Dr. Cole are leading the charge into the future of healthcare for Americans, for this great country, and to "Make America Healthy Again!"

Dr. Cole and his staff were the most thorough and caring team I have ever been to! He really wants to get to the bottom of my frequent-falling issue. He is extremely knowledgeable and thinks outside the box. He reads reports thoroughly and orders tests that other doctors have overlooked. Thank you Dr. Cole!
I had a Spondolo that was not surgically correctable, I originally injured my back in Feb. 1997 as an "on the job" injury. I've lived with this hellish pain for 27 1/2 years! I have ingested more pain pills than I want to admit, they didn't help. I have seen many, many Doctors over the last many years, seeking relief, and the best any of them could offer was: "Conservative Therapy". Dr. Coal fixed my back completely and he did it in a single visit! No pain. I am trying to re-learn what its like to be normal! I don't hunch over, slouch or drag my foot. I'm FREE! Thank you Dr. Cole.
Very Brilliant Doctor who specializes in Stem Cell Therapy for the Knee. Definitely took time for me (1 Hour) to explain everything. Sometimes a bit too techinal as I didn't really understand everything he was saying. I will decide after second opinion whether I want to go with his suggestion. Well versed in other specialities,too. Very Impressive Credentials in varying fields. I would recommend him to people with fairly serious knee issues. Doesn't want to operate if possible.
Dr. William was fantastic. He spent plenty of time with us discussing how he is going to treat me. I had my first set of injections and it went well. Dr. Lily is wonderful as well, along with the rest of the staff. Thank you!
Very kind and caring doctors!
Very clear explanations. Low key. I was very comfortable and would recommend friends. Very knowledgeable drs.
Excellent! Dr Cole spent as much time with me as I needed more than any other doctor I've ever had. After one visit I'm able to take off my wrist brace that I've worn for a year.
Always top notch care. Has helped woth my pain issues and helped me have a normal life again. Definitely recommend!
Dr. Cole and his staff are great!
Took care of my knees, and my shoulder would highly recommend him to anybody and everybody
Very disappointed never called in my medicine.
Never called in my medicine. I lost my full time job they knocked me down to 2 days a week because of my Dr William Cole and Florida Blue Insurance. They have been bullshitting me for 2 days still haven't received my meds. Now it's the weekend and I can't work cause of the severe pain I'm in. Now I can't afford to pay my 115 a month because of both of them
Dr Cole is amazing and is so passionate about healing You! He uses innovative remarkable stem cell procedures to help your body heal YOUR body! God blessed me with him and I know the quality of my life will improve because of the PRP injections. Thank You Dr Cole n your staff as well! God bless.
Had injection for T10-T11 pain relief
He is a brilliant man and is a perfect option for traditional medicine that doesn’t help our health problems
Dr Cole is extremely knowledgeable explaining in detail and with the spine prop what is going on with my back. I highly recommend Dr. Cole.
Dr Cole was informative, pleasant and personal. It was 10 years since I saw him. He was on top of my problem in minutes. We are now informed of what to expect. Will see him again next week. He gave me exercises to do. Use walking in the pool. Always a great informed doctor.
I have been dealing with this back, hip and leg pain for 81 days! I was hoping that I would get some treatment to help me but all that happened was you gathered information from me
Dr Cole is very upbeat! Knows his stuff. Everything is easy pesy!
