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.

Melanoma on left arm
I was diagnosed with melanoma and was referred to Doctor Cohen at Good Samaritan by my dermatologist. I received excellent care and would highly recommend Doctor Cohen. The Doctor's office staff and the nurses at Good Sam were all terrific!

Poor manners, postponed surgery unnecessarily
Dr. Cohen made my father jump through a series of hoops getting clearance for surgery only to refuse to operate months later. Her bedside manner at numerous visits was so poor that I begged my father to find a new surgeon but he was desperate to get the surgery and didn't want to start from square zero.To provide some detail...Dr. Cohen stated that the cause of my father's pain came from other issues that needed more immediate attention and not the medical issue for which we sought her help. After diligently following up on Dr. Cohen's concerns with various specialists and getting their clearance, Dr. Cohen revealed she didn't feel comfortable performing the surgery anyway. It was clear Dr. Cohen made this decision at the onset but didn't share this.In the end, another doctor performed the surgery without issue.While it is completely within Dr. Cohen's right to refuse to operate, sharing this intention would have saved my father from months of agonizing pain and hundreds of dol

Hernia Repair
Dr Cohen is a special person, her personality, surgical skills, and bedside manner make you feel at ease always. She has a high speed manner about her, and is willing to help you with any medical situation. At age 76 I hope there's no more surgeries, but if there is, Kimmerle is my Lady Doctor.

Amazing Experience
My primary care physician recommended doctor Kimmerle Cohen to discuss removal of my gallbladder. From the moment Dr. Cohen walked into the examination room I immediately felt at ease due to her warmth and engaging demeanor. Dr. Cohen shared information regarding tests and other procedures that were administered while I was in the hospital. She carefully and thoroughly explained the surgical procedure she would be using to remove my gallbladder and provided an opportunity for me to ask questions. By the time I left Dr. Cohen's office, my anxiety regarding the surgical procedure had completely dissipated! Dr. Cohen is very passionate regarding her work. Her professionalism permeates throughout her office, as her staff members are extremely courteous and professional as well.

She is an awesome surgeon. I had a melanoma removed on my forehead and there was no pain or discomfort afterwards. It is healing and the scar is almost gone. Of course I followed the instructions which were given to me. I would recommend Dr Kimmerle Cohen highly.

Best Doctor
Dr. Cohen and her group are outstanding. My mom went to Dr. Cohen to have a fatty tumor removed. She diagnosed it immediately and explained to my 93 year old mom what would happen and made my mom feel comfortable. This doctor is a special doctor. She listens and explains the procedure explicitly. Best bed side manner and makes you feel at ease. My mom suffers with anxiety and she was calm through the whole procedure. We recommend this doctor highly. Also, her staff is very professional and friendly. We can not say enough about Dr. Cohen. She is excellent.
