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.

Prudence Grandison – Aug 04, 2023

During the worst part of the pandemic they refused to give me a new prescription for birth control. I had to go in and have a pelvic exam, they said. First of all, I’ve had pelvic exams every year of my life and results have always been normal. Second, it is not necessary nor recommended to have a pelvic exam every year. Third, doctors who link pelvic exams to birth control when they should not be linked do not care about women, period. Holding birth control hostage during a pandemic left a bad taste in my mouth and I will be going elsewhere, especially since I have other doctors who have been more than willing to help keep me safe during covid. By the way, I ended up calling Planned Parenthood and they renewed my script after a telehealth appointment, the way it should be. If your gynecologist refuses to give you a script for birth control during a pandemic, when you have always been healthy and have always had pelvic exams, then that doctor is NOT pro-women.

I've been going to Dr. Cohen's office now for 4 year's and I highly recommend them. I've always felt welcomed with warm greetings, smiles and very detailed visits for a better understanding of what's going on with my body.

Dr. Cohen has delivered all 4 of my children over a 19 year span! I must say as I nurse, we tend to talk amongst ourselves about different providers because we see the side of them that the patients typically don’t. In all honesty we agree that Dr. Cohen is both knowledgeable and professional.. did I mention funny and sweet as well! Hope I’m done seeing him though because 4 children is more than enough??

I don't usually leave feedback, but this office is just absolutely amazing. Dr Cohen has amazing bedside manner. He always listens to what is wrong, and best of all, he makes you laugh. His Midwife, Elizabeth, makes you feel so comfortable. I have to have C-sections but I see Elizabeth a lot just because she is so sweet. She feels more like a friend that I can talk to about anything. I absolutely love this office and the entire staff. I've never had an issue with scheduling or waiting too long.
