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 took expert care of my skin problems finding 3 cancers which were removed over the course of my seeing him for 3 years. He took his time and was very thorough. He was the best dermatologist I had and I am 93 years old , a retired doctor. I miss his care.

I have seen Dr. Cohen for several years now. I have found him to be an excellent health care provider. He is very careful in his examinations and takes great care to make sure that I understand his recommendations, spending as much time as is needed. I highly recommend Dr. Cohen to anyone who is looking for a top notch dermatologist.
