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.

The only Dr for us
Excellent Dr. My last 2 children were born 8 weeks and 9 weeks early. The 1st of the 2 has had no issues From it. He is 6 now and healthy however we didn’t know what to expect when he was born and Dr Cohen educated us on all of it. When 2 was born @ 31 weeks he had a grade4 brain bleed/damage and cerebral palsy. Dr Cohen took care of him and all of us. He allowed me to see how far baby could do things on his own without therapy. I wanted baby to be independent and fighter that I knew he could be. He is 3 now and a superstar as Dr Cohen calls him. He runs, jumps, kicks a ball, rides a bike, balances on rocks, climbs up a (playground) rock wall and rope ladder draws/colors. The list goes on and on. When every other Dr was pressuring me to do therapy and making me feel almost like a bad parent Dr Cohen supported me because he knew I was with my son step by step being his therapist and mommy. I specifically changed my insurance this time around just to have him and would have paid cash
