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.

Kid has strep. It was obviously strep. Was even excited to strep. This is the easiest diagnosis in modern age. Dr. Cohen instead wanted to argue and sent my kid home with no treatment. 2 hrs later in urgent care he tests positive for strep. Just not a good Dr. I'd be cautious.

Wait Time
5 star rating for Dr. Cohen, 1 star for wait time. I like Dr. Cohen and feel like he has helped me tremendously. I DO NOT want to change doctors and have no intention at this time. Had a 0945 appointment today and was told Dr. Cohen was running 1 1/2hrs late. Asked if I could come back in an hour and was told I would be put behind all other patients that would come in while I was gone. Not only is this an on going problem but if I do get called back to an exam room in a timely manner, the average wait time there is 30mins and that is a conservative time. It has been as much as 45mins to an hour....I keep track on my phone. Today is the first time I did not wait for my appointment, but this has happened to many times. My time is valuable also. Is there anything that can be done about this issue? This is the only doctors office that I have this problem with.

I’ve been with Dr Cohen for many years for a very rare autoimmune illness. He is very knowledgeable and caring as well as patient. Gets very high scores from me. Between he and my Great God I’m alive.

I've been with him for more than a decade and probably wouldn't be walking without him. He listens to you and explains things clearly. Yes, you have to work with him and follow his recommendations but that's the only way to deal with RA. Yes, I've recommended him and his staff. Why wouldn't I?

Seems to know a lot about RA but is also a bit on auto pilot. Provides hand outs regarding conditions and meds, but it is difficult to get any answers at all to questions in between visits. Did not recommend folic acid with methotrexate.
