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 best colorectal doctor in Hartford ct
His bed manners were exceptional . He cares to listen to the patient and explain what he will do. But besides that sees you after the procedure to give you the results.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Cohen?
In March 2017 I needed a total colectomy due to UC, I met him the day before my surgery (after never meeting him before) and all of my fears went away. I had a temporary ileostomy for a few months and in August I had my take down & my jpouch was complete. This man saved my life and gave me a better quality of life for me since I'm only 25. I owe this man so much. He is amazing and the sweetest & smartest person. Thank you Dr. Cohen!
