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.

I had a traumatic fall in my home, arrived at the ED via ambulance. I had 10 out of 10 pain, which took hours to get 'some' relief. I am a nurse, and told Dr. Kosowsky that my symptoms were not consistent with his diagnosis, a muscle spasm. He sent me home. The next day I was admitted to another ER. Diagnosed with Fracture and stayed several nites for pain management. Odd, Dr. Kosowky wrote a book, "When Doctors Don't Listen" Perhaps he should read his book.

When I saw Dr. Kosowsky I thought at first he was pretty concerned about my care. But, as time progressed from very early hours of the morning he showed very little empathy concerning my medical situation. He certainly is a bright physician but, sincerely hope I never have to visit him again because of his demeanor.

After an emergency room visit at Brigham and Womens with extreme lower backpain, Dr Kosowsky attempted to discharge me as I was still unable to walk on my own. Extremely disappointed with the doctor, would not recommend his services to a dog. Very unprofessional.
