Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Cohen was extremely helpful in assisting me with obtaining proper needed medication. He was professional and took time to explain complex medical terminology.

My experience is apparently much the same as former reviewers Fonesca, Priest and Gibson. I couldn't have said it better. Dr. Cohen is a good guy; humble, helpful, has a sense of humor, listens, is honest and instills trust in his patients. He takes his time, nothing is rushed and, again, I can't impress this enough, HE LISTENS. That's so important to me when choosing a doctor. I feel safe with him and trust in his decisions on my behalf and, if a 10 were available, I'd give him a 10. He deserves it! His staff is just like him. They are warm, friendly, capable and caring people. I have met only one other doctor in my life to whom I would give this glowing review and believe me, I have met many, many doctors. I really like Dr. Cohen and his staff, very much. I HATE his air conditioning. Too hot for me, and I'd still go if his office were in a sweatshop!

Dr Cohen was very patient in explaining my condition after seeing my test results. He was concise and I felt much better after he explained the treatment options.

Showed no interest in my serious health condition. Did not offer or consider making any adjustment to meds. Literally, stated there was nothing he could do for me. Seemed just to get me out and schedule another future appointment. No follow up on referrals. Guess he just wanted to bill me again.. I wouldn’t recommend him for dog catcher.

Dr Cohen was my dr since 2010 when I became very ill. He was concerned, compassionate and pro active with my case. I saw him on the average of every 3 months since then and he was always supportive, even when I had the same fears over and over again. What a loss for me, and his other patients, that he moved. I wish him the best in his future endeavors. He is truly a 5 star Doc!
