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.

Dr. Cohen is a personable, reasonable and very intelligent physician. He describes all aspects of treatment options and expected outcomes. He can tell you the percentages or odds of having an adverse reaction or outcome and what would be available tx Dr. Cohen has treated numerous problems (chronically inflamed and blocked sinuses, hearing loss and tinnitus) and performed at least 1 fairly extensive surgery in my case, always to my satisfaction. I strongly recommend Dr Cohen to anyone that needs ENT service! Can sometimes end up waiting an hour in the waiting room if he ends up having an emergency or extended surgery at the time of appointment. However, if it were me under the knife, I would certainly appreciate him taking the time to do what needs done!

Dr. Cohen knows his stuff and has a wonderful manner. He listens. While his receptionist is a little grumpy, it doesn't wreck the experience. Highly recommended.
