In patients' words

"Dr. Cohen and his nurse are great! Dr Stuart Cohen is an awesome amazing Internal Medicine Doctor! I'm so thankful and blessed because he is the BEST!!"

UAB Medicine Provider Directory (Dr. Stuart Cohen)

"Worst experience ever. It takes forever to get hold of an operator just to make an appointment. You guys can do better. We are paying a lot of money for our health insurance and we couldn't even see a doctor just because it takes literally 2 hours to get hold of an operator."

LocalityBiz (UAB Family Medicine)

"This was my first visit with Dr. Carter. She is one of the most thorough and knowledgeable physicians I've ever come in contact with. Not only did she assess me thoroughly, she had a plan for my care, and she provided patient education throughout the entire experience."

Ratings.MD (Dr. Adrienne Carter)

"Great appointment with Dr Elewsky however checking in was so disappointing. The woman who i approached had an attitude and was very condescending... Terrible attitude"
