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.

Listens carefully
Fantastic allergist. Does exactly what an allergist should so. Listens carefully and then does the diagnostic work. Tested me thoroughly in office right away. In 20 minutes, she found out I was allergic to something that I would never have expected. But we all change as we get older. Prescribed a simple low-cost nasal spray that does the job perfectly. Dr. Co says there are only a few months of the year when the spray is necessary. A great visit, a great result!

Highly Recommend Dr. Co!
Dr. Co is thorough in her explanations and listens carefully to her patients. At least, this is what I have experienced. I've been with her for about 7 yrs to treat all my allergy issues; asthma, eczema and seasonal allergies. Always on time, no wait and very pleasant. Wish she were my physician for everything!

Simply exceptional
I have been suffering from a facial fungus for the past five years and every dermatologist I visited simply looked through a database and offered a cream or ointment. Nothing worked until I met Dr. Co. Her approach was different - scientific by elimination. First, she checked for possible allergies over a period of a couple days and after eliminating any possible reaction from a litany of body lotions and shampoos, she finally nailed the root cause. Sorry I just forgot the medical terminology she used from Mayo clinic. The ointment she prescribed worked like magic. The facial fungus disappeared within a couple of days and my skin recovered. thank you Dr. Co.

Consultation to test for allergies
Dr Co was very professional and tested for allergies. Found that I had none. She ten tested for Streep throat also negative. She suggested I test for Covid which I did and this also was negative. She suggested I take Musinex DM 12 hr for viral infection. I am better

Testing for penicillin allergy
I went to see Dr Co to get allergy tested and it was determined that I have no allergies just a very sensitive nasal lining which makes my nose run constantly. I just needed a nasal spray which works great. She also suggested I get tested for a penicillin allergy that I've had all my life. It was such a relief to learn that I have no allergy to penicillin. Dr Co is so easy to talk to. She spent plenty of time with me explaining what the allergy tests would look like. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family.

Select Allergist
Initial consultation: Dr Co very methodical and thorough, spent necessary amount of time to understand current situation to determine future treatment. Also periodic reassessment of initial determination is part of her methodology. Very satisfied with her care and view.

Very thorough allergist
Our appointment was kept on time. Her staff was proficient. My first visit to Dr. Margaret Co was very productive. I had suffered an asthma attack resulting in an ER visit a few days earlier. She heard all my symptoms, they were numerous. Prioritized and setup plan of attack. Prescribed the necessary meds to control my asthma to prevent another asthma attack episode. Since I felt my asthma attack was due to allergies. I never had asthma before. We setup a follow up to test for allergies.
