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.

I have been seeing Dr. Cochinwala for about 4 years and have been very happy. He always takes the time to answer my questions. If the treatment isn’t working, he will try something else to ease my pain. He is knowledgeable and has helped me tremendously. The office staff is always helpful and pleasant. They always return my calls. I am glad that I found Dr. Cochinwala.

Positive!
I've been seeing Dr. Cochinwala every 2 months for 20 years for infusions for my RA. Always a good experience, and I am able to live an active, pain free life - I was in pretty bad shape 20 years ago. Appointments have never been delayed, the staff is efficient and friendly, and Dr. C has always taken plenty of time to answer my questions and concerns. His office building is clean and easy to find, and parking is just a few feet away. I recommend him highly.

Dr. Cochinwala is the second rheumatologist that I saw for severe inflammation and pain, the first doctor blew me off as nothing was wrong and made me fell like it was all in my head, then Dr. Cochinwala came into the picture and what a wonderful experience I have had for the last 7 years, he took the time to listen and analyze my symptoms and preformed to test to confirm his diagnosis. He listened to me and is always there to answer my questions and concerns either in person at an appointment or leaving a message for him, he is very quick to respond to me messages, never more than a couple of hours. I highly recommend him and his staff.

I have been going to Dr. Cochinwala for over 15 years. Excellent care, excellent staff, and I always receive a call the day before my appointment to remind me, love that. He takes all the time you need to discuss any issues you are having. He definitely does a lot of blood work to make sure you are progressing and your treatment is working the way it is supposed to. I love him and his staff. He gave me my normal life back!

I have been a patient of Dr. Cochinwala for about 6 years. He is thorough and I feel confident that I'm well cared for. I'm excited that I only have to see him every 3 months instead of every other month.

When I first went to see Dr. Cochinwala over 10 years ago, I was in severe pain. Dr. Cochinwala was very thorough and gave me some medication to help relieve the pain until test could be run. He diagnosed me with RA. It was a relief to find out what I had and to know it could be treated. Dr. Cochinwala and his staff are very helpful and friendly. I would recommend Dr. Cochinwala to anyone.

Dr. Cochinwala and his staff are very professional, efficient, and courteous; it is very seldom that I have to wait more than 10 - 15 minutes from the time I arrive to see the doctor. The infusion nurse and receptionist are always very welcoming and make me feel at home when I come for an appointment.

I had a terrible experience with Dr. Cochinwala and his staff. My infusions were moved multiple times on short notice, he never understood my diagnosis and was treating me incorrectly for a number of months, and they did not work well with my insurance company or Remistart.

Dr. Cochinwala is the first Rheumatology doctor I have see. He was easy to talk to, patient with my questions and ordered necessary labs and imaging test to review my medical needs. I feel I am in the best hands in his care. His staff is professional and works quickly to provide there part in customer care. Pamela, one of his front desk office personnel is consistently cheerful and informative.

After seeing a doctor I did not like at all for a year, I have been seeing Dr. Cochinwala since 2006. He is compassionate and caring, along with being extremely knowledgeable in how to treat both of the forms of arthritis that I have. His office staff is great, also. I highly recommend Dr. Cochinwala.
