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.

Brilliant Experience
Dr. Cohen cured my husbands allergies that he was struggling with for 9 years. He was allergic to mold and it was not determined by other allergists. He now takes a nose spray and allergy pill every day and it has cured his itchy eyes. My husband was not able to live on the coast, until he met Dr. Cohen. Dr. Cohen has the experience needed to find cures and solutions for medical problems that cannot be solved elsewhere. I highly recommend him.

I had an appointment with Dr Cohen for over a month. The last week I was unable to take allergy medication because of the allergy testing I was suppose to be doing at the appointment ( I’ve been missrable for a week because of it) 2 hrs before my appointment I got canceled on due to the dr being sick and was rescheduled the following month. I called back and asked if I could at least do the allergy testing since I’ve been missrable for a week not taking meds. The lady on the phone refused my request and was extremely rude to me even raising her voice at me when I told her how unprofessional it was. Now I am even sicker then I was before I made the appointment with the dr ( due to there request for me to stop my medication) and I don’t have another appointment for almost another month

Holy smokes is this guy great! I was suffering from Chronic Urticaria (really bad hives) for 1 1/2 years and went from one specialist to another until my primary physician said he'd asked around and I should go to Dr. Cohen. Dr. Cohen was very thorough, stopped all my other treatment plans and meds and then started me on his own plan. Bingo! It worked. And guess what? This guy calls me personally on a regular schedule and engages me in real conversation. Dr. Cohen is the best MD ever!

I had an extremely itchy and painful rash for months that was completely destroying my life. Sounds silly to have a rash be so bad, but it truly was. I saw several other doctors. Most just did not know what caused it and some just dismissed me and would not listen at all. Dr. Cohen listened carefully, tested me and then treated me. Inhaled dust mites - go figure. In any case, he was very patient, kind, and respectful. I liked him even before he cured me, and then he did. One of the best

I had crippling allergy issues, Dr Cohen managed my allergies to the point where I can lead a normal life again, without frequent sinus and ear infections or the need for tubes in my ears, I can finally swim in the ocean again! Great staff as well, and Dr. Cohen always explains how to use medication. Best ENT I ever had!

Dr. Cohen knows his specialty. If you are late to his office he will get rid of you. He treats you like it is the principals office and if you are tardy it is Off with your head. Unfortunately, this is the second time he has done this. There can be extenuating circumstances like distance to travel to get there. Office managers have left. and the newest one does the dirty work. I have seen many employees leave. I do not even wonder why. No one smiles and would not recommend.
