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.

One of the best Doctors I’ve ever met and very compassionate.Thanks for all your help!

Always A Great Experience
Telehealth
Dr. Cohan is always a great listener and the treatment I receive benefits as a result. I didn't have to wait to get to him and his prescription fixed my problem. He followed-up to ensure I was doing well and also followed-through until I was back to normal.

Best nephrologist by far
Dr. Cohan is the most caring considerate doctor I have ever met. The longer you see him the more he becomes like family. I don’t think that I could possibly recommend anybody anymore than this man. If you can see him, you are extremely lucky.

Great Doctor
Great doctor. Caring. Only negative is wait time which is common with doctors. And he had an emergency isn’t always true.

As a new patient I left my visit with new hope.
My visit with Dr Cohan was exceptionally comforting. I left with a hope of a possibility of slowing my kidney disease progression. He took his time to make sure I understood all that we spoke about. Dr Cohan is very approachable and my visit was not rushed at all.

Great doctor
Dr Cohan is very interested in whatever I need to discuss when I go for my check up for my kidney situation. I stress this, HE LISTENS. This is most important to me. I have had three stents in my kidneys of which one the left is functioning. He monitors everything related to my kidney to prevent my going on dialysis.

First visit -blood tests revealing kidney issues
I met with Dr. Cohan regarding my recent blood tests regarding kidney issues. Dr. Cohan was very informative regarding my current issues and made me feel hopeful that we could potentially combat the issues once he has more information from additional upcoming tests.
