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. Cockfield is very thorough and she takes the time to really listen! She presents possible treatment plans and discusses the pros and cons of those options. Talking to her is like talking to a trusted and caring friend! I am very grateful to be her patient!

My appointment yesterday was more than satisfactory. She takes all kind of time to explain concerns you have and does everything she can to allay any fears you may have . I would fully recommend her to any woman. I give her 5 stars.

In 2010, I had a miscarriage, and I was very unhappy with how I was treated by the physician and staff at a different hospital. I told a co-worker, and she referred me to Dr. Cockfield. She was seeing her for post-menopause issues and really liked her. So I made my appointment and never looked back! Referred many other friends and co-workers! She really listens and cares, never had a complaint.

I have been dealing with fibroids, some endometriosis,enlarged uteruse for many years as my other Obgyn did nothing. So I changed to Dr. Cockfield, first visit was way more involved and so informative then my previous dr. We tried a treatment, that did not work, so an histerectomy wAs needed. She is kind, informative, available, knows what she's doing . I was very worried about my stay at the hospital as they don't have a good reputation, but I was treated awesome as an OB patient.
