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.

Fantastic Doctor
After going to many many doctors he was the one who has helped me. He is so kind that I thought it was fake but I couldn't be more wrong. He will do everything in his power to help his patients, even to the point of giving you his personal home number if you need him.

this is the worst person to go to if you care about yours or a loved ones health. He rushes every appointment, unless his silly billy self wants to sit there and talk. Horrible doctor and i plan on suing him for causing injury to my mental state. he will throw you on any drugs he thinks is right off top of his head. so much more about this man that disgusts me.

Curt, unapproachable, doesn't listen and to be honest does not seem to care. Gives you approx 5 mins of his time.

Dr. Cohen has helped my teenage son with his ADHD and depression. I have been to many doctors and he is the only one that my son has gotten better with. He’s a little abrupt but always listens to me and my son. Has helped us tremendously! Karin in Laguna Hills

This Doctor does not care about your health and only wants a pay check. If he says anything during a session I would be shocked. He is impossible to get a hold of on the phone. You can never get an appointment time that fits your schedule. You walk in he already has his prescription pad in hand he says hello writes a scrip then sends you out the back door. His scrips for a moderate strength anxiety medicine will only have 30 pills with no refills so you must go in and see him once a month liter

Was greeted by a very friendly woman up front. Got into my appointment on time and found Dr. Cohen to be very warm and caring when we talked.

Horrible! Didn't recognize me in his waiting room after seeing him for months! Always felt rushed out of his office within 5 minutes and he never listened to me. Even when I told him meds he prescribed were making me feel worse - he just wanted to up the dosage!

I'm on state aid , I have High Anxiety, Depression, mixed with Bipolar. I had another Dr. That gave me basically Benadryl. I guess to help system, then got Seroquel, I did see any improvement. The office was closing so they sent me to Dr. Cohen. Who asks what's going on , I brought written Questions & comments from my family about what they see in me when I'm on medication. I don't feel like he's listening .ii feel rushed, I've gone in & said I'm OK 8 min later I have script
