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.

hidradenitis suppurativa
I had my hidradenitis suppurativa surgery with doctor Cosman on May 2nd 2024 and I wanted to come on and give my review. I met with doctor Cosman the end of March and was able to schedule my surgery for May 2nd! I am extremely happy with the whole process. I was given two locations to choose from, la Jolla and hillcrest and I ended up going to hillcrest due to my availability. Doctor Cosman gave very clear information on the procedure during our first initial appointment and went over everything again before heading back to the OR. He is very straightforward and doesn't beat around the bush. If you are anything like me, you have spent years looking for someone. I felt very comfortable asking questions and i was scared to get all locations done at once, but glad I did. He also made it very clear this isn't going to completely get rid of the condition and I will need to be sure to follow up with a dermatologist. I would highly recommend him.
