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.

Left me so badly scarred and in permanent pain that I'm in the process of having scar revision surgery with a top notch plastic surgeon who said and I quote.* Everything this surgeon did was wrong. He used dissolvable sutures which cause inflammation and cause scar tissue and nerve damage. We NEVER use those unless it's in an ER and we know the patient has no physician to go to later to have sutures removed. Or for deep internal wounds.*

Dr.Cohen helped my daughter with her lip and palate cleft. She is 18 now and just went through her 8 surgery. She is very happy with her final results. First time I see my daughter that happy in a long time. Thank you Dr.Cohen.

Thank you for treating my son for the past 15 years! It was a difficult process for him, and for the whole family. You were supportive to us all the entire time. Now he has a beautiful smile!

He has done many surgeries on me, originally to help close a massive abdominal wound, then 2 skin removal surgeries. Thigh and butt lift. He spent an hour with the insurance company to get them to agree this was necessary after a large weight loss. He was very considerate of my need to have a clean surgery, due to previous sepsis bouts. He is a great surgeon. He is not a smooth conversationalist, but he did a magnificent job for me. That's all I care about. No problems with staff.

An absolutely horrendous experience! He completely violated my patient rights of dignity, feeling safe, and the right to ask questions about my health. If you ask him any questions or express your opinion, he will interpret it as challenging his superiority. "No one in the world is going to want to help you with that," he said. "Good luck." Are you kidding me? Is this typical behavior? He should not be in the profession, and his license to practice needs to be revoked immediately.
