"Diabetes care is particularly tricky... Dr. Cohen is so supportive and she is even intelligent and sensitive enough not to OVER-celebrate the successes... There is so much implicit judgement in medical care, Dr. Cohen represents the best of medical expertise combined with emotional intelligence and empathy."
— Patient review for Dr. Allison Cohen (Mass General Brigham)"I am still recovering from an extremely negative and discriminatory experience with Dr Moore... She was cold, rude, asked unrelated and unnecessary questions and did not believe me when I told her what was going on."
— Patient review for Dr. Lisa Moore (WebMD)"Dr. Sumal is truly an exceptional physician... What stood out the most is how kind, friendly, and attentive he is — you never feel rushed, and he explains everything clearly..."
