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.

Friendly, knowledgeable

Great physician and expert!
she has been treating me for my diabetes since the day I was diagnosed. I went to her because of a high A1C and in 30 days, I was in normal range with minimal medication and maximum diet changes. The constant blood glucose monitor has changed my life. She gets all the data in real time. She has called me personally to make tweaks to keep my normal. Thanks Dr K!

Wonderful Physician
I can honestly say Dr. Kozlow is the best doctor I've ever had in my life. She explains everything and even draws pictures so you get a better understanding of what she's talking about. Never ever felt rushed during an appointment. Referral is needed for first appointment as she is a specialist and is a perfectly normal procedure. She will give you choices and options so you can make an informed decision. If you are an argumentative person or think you're smarter, this is not the place for you. I highly recommend Dr. Kozlow.

ABSOLUTELY NOT, For 3 weeks I tried to make an appointment with Dr. Koslow, 3 faxes, they say they never received, Kathleen gave me a secondary fax number and still that didn't work, numerous phone calls, still no luck, I have decided to look elsewhere. To date this practice has only wasted my time,

Dr. Kozlow has been my endocrinologist for about 3 years. She is very patient with you, explains the rationale for the treatment and reviews lab results. The office staff is always super nice and very helpful. I would recommend her without hesitation.

This doctor is horrible. She doesn't listen to or take her time with her patients and is even WORSE with special needs patients. She is insensitive and seemingly not invested in providing the best possible care to her patients.

I absolutely love Dr. Kozlow. I had been treated for thyroid cancer in NY before moving here. Was a bit leery since I loved my Dr in NY but Dr. Kozlow has been nothing short of wonderful. She takes her time seeing me and going over my questions and overall health, she explains what my numbers are and what they mean, I have never felt shortchanged or rushed when speaking with her. She truly knows her stuff and is up to date on all the latest data. You will not be disappointed!

Went to her for HRT. She has an outdated treatment philosophy, maintains a gatekeeper attitude toward your treatment. Suffers your questions,and is easily offended if pressed to explain treatment decisions. Trans patients should look elsewhere. She claims to be 'trans friendly' but I believe she tolerates us. Her bread and butter is diabetes treatment.

I saw her once to address Hashimoto's symptoms that remain despite me being on replacement hormones. She did not review the medical records sent by my other doctors, she refused to help or see me again, she said that textbook Hashimoto's symptoms are not endocrine-related, and she insinuated it was all in my head. I asked for help getting to where I can function fully and work, and her solution was to get a job and go off the few meds I'm on. I felt dehumanized, and her ignorance was astounding.

I have been going to Dr. Koslow for 8 years and she alone got my diabetes under control. She is great, caring and very knowledgeable and I would recommend her highly. I enjoy going to a younger Dr who is current on medications and treatment. It is a pleasure, rather than going to the old timers who like to brow beat patients. My only concern is that she went to the University of North Carolina and she may be a Tar Heel. I am a Duke fan.

Dr. Wende Kozlow is an amazing doctor. I know that this is a very busy field, but she has taken great care of me and my family. She is very detailed with results and diagnosis. She is very knowledgeable! I have definitely learned a lot about my health and we are so blessed to have her as our doctor. Be patient when trying to call their office it is a very busy office, but once you are in they take great care of you.

Dr. Kozlow is the rudest person/doctor I have ever been to. At my app't. she breezes in and out within five minutes or so. She deplores answering questions I may have. Called her once after hours. I called the service two times before she finally called me back. She was rude & annoyed that she had to call me after hours. As my dr. I needed her opinion. At the end of the call she was irate; she screamed, "what do you want me to do"? I hung up. I ended up at the ER & than the ICU for a week.

At first she was an amazing doctor however that quickly changed. I continued to call her to follow up on my testing and medications. It is very hard to receivea call back from her or staff with her response. Once the call was received it was always a different answer. She seems very unorganized and obviously does not document very well. My medications were always changing because she forgot what we discussed. Finally I left the practice to get a second opinion which was suggested by my primary.

The first visit was incredible and I loved this doctor but it's been downhill ever since. The office is far too busy and they cannot provide good medical care. I have been trying to get medical records from the office for months and now it turns out theres a third party that processes medical records and they charge you to get your records. This should be illegal!! Not only that, the only way to get your records is to pay by mail! Snail mail. Shame on Dr Kozlow!!!!
