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.

My Hernia surgery
For 5 years I dragged a problem of a hernia in the umbilical area, and severe pain, a problem that was not treated because I could not find a surgeon who would allay my concerns and fears about the surgery itself.Dr. Bret accepted me to his clinic and was kind, attentive, empathetic, calming, and gave me the confidence that I was in good hands.Throughout the entire process, from the first meeting to the end, I felt I was in good hands. I felt calm and felt that they also addressed my emotional aspect, which I had not felt with any other surgeon before. Before the surgery, a kind and professional team welcomed me and prepared me, and also allowed me to be with my loved ones throughout the preparation for the surgery. The surgery went well and I woke up to a new world. The recovery was fast, and there is no more pain. I can finally wear pants without feeling pain or discomfort in the umbilical area.This has completely changed my feeling.Thank you from my heart .

I am a former linx patient of Dr. Cohens and he is an excellent doctor and surgeon. He has great staff and Neila was so kind to come out to the waiting room and offer us water and apologize for the delay. She was pleasant. Dr. Cohen is worth the wait.

Dr. Cohen , your initiative and passion for the surgical work you provided me does not go unnoticed. Your kind personality put me at ease from our very first interaction. I now call you “Robotic King”. The surgical care I received spoke volumes from bedside manner and to your ability and surgical expert knowledge. It all began with the attention at your office front desk to your hospital surgical team including post-op nursing care. I cannot say thank you enough! Anyone considering Hernia repair or Bariatric Surgery Dr. Cohen and his Associates should be your first call.

Great Experience
Dr. Cohen performed inguinal and umbilical hernia procedures on me. He was friendly and professional. His office staff were too. He personally called me post-surgery to see how I was feeling. Great experience all in all.

Great staff, appointments are sharp in time, I have never waited more than 5 minutes to go in and 5 minutes to see the doctor. Dr Cohem explained my procedure in details and the surgery was a success. I recommend the Linx procedures. No more pain or heartburn or reflux. What a blessing!! Thanks God and thanks Dr. Brett Cohem.

Dr. Cohen just recently performed my hernia surgery. Dr. Cohen and his staff were extremely attentive and thorough. He answered all my questions, and updated my family once the surgery was completed, as it was done during COVID. I highly recommend him and his office.
