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 alleviated my back, buttocks, and leg pain. I had spine surgery on Tuesday and I’m already pain free. Dr. Cohen answered all our questions and I knew I was in excellent hands. Staten Island needed an exceptional neurosurgeon and that’s Dr. Cohen. I’m happy with the outcome. Should have done this sooner.

Dr. Cohen was absolutely great!!! The staff is just the opposite. I have been looking to get a copy of my PT prescription for also most a week and the staff do not even bother to call back. They say they will email it but have an attitude when you call. Change your staff doc. Sorry!!
