“I work in the medical field. The practice met all of my expectations. Short wait. And when I did meet the doctor he did not dismiss my symptoms. And he nailed the treatment. I feel better 2 days out and thankfully I hope this is the end of my treatment. ”

Three hospitals and one rehabilitation facility failed to diagnose me properly. Dr. Carleton figured out what was wrong and saved my life. He is very nice and truly concerned.
July 21, 2025Carol R.Verified patient
Orlin and cohen was extremely prompt and very well organized as an office making my visit there stress free. All support staff was very helpful and nice as well. I saw the actual Dr. briefly but got needed information which is basically most important.
June 9, 2025Julie B.Verified patient
The doctor was great. The sign in process horrible because of the number of times I had to write the same information over and over again. Not the fault of the nice receptionist.

January 27, 2025Linda W.Verified patient
The nicest office and staff I have ever encountered. I couldn’t say a bad word. The wait time was long but they kept us informed and even handed out water. My daughter has been to the Orlin & Cohen offices in Massapequa & Merrick and she said they were awful. She was with me in Woodbury and she also raved about the staff from the front desk all the way to the back office staff & doctor’s assistants, Xray & doctor. Thank You ??

May 22, 2024Amanpreet K.Verified patient
Dr. Tarleton was great and expedited an Xray And Mri for my back. The wait time was long but was told it was due to a procedure that ran over in the early part of the day. Office was Big, clean, and staff was all friendly.

Dr. Tarleton made me feel very comfortable during my first visit. Everyone I interacted with during my visit was friendly and professional. I feel confident that Dr. Tarleton will be able to resolve my medical issue.
January 12, 2024Tameeka M.Verified patient
I was greeted in a friendly manner by the staff. Didn’t wait long. I was called that the dr was behind and that I could come a bit later. Really appreciated that. Dr gave me a lot of time and listened to my issues.
December 21, 2023Sandra H.Verified patient
Front end staff friendly and courteous. Wait time was unbearable. Saw a great PA who spent time with me and explained what could be causing my pain and what they could do to relieve it. Doctor came in after being filled in by PA and examined and spoke to me regarding options for pain relief and further testing. All in all would have been a 5 star visit except for the long wait time.
December 18, 2023Jodie Ann M.Verified patient

September 7, 2022Sheryl S.Verified patient
People have this notion that Orlin & Cohen runs like a factory. All I can say is whoever said that, confused factory-like, with actual efficiency. They are clean, organized, prompt and extremely friendly. Dr. T and his sweet NP were a delight and I’m looking forward to being treated by their amazing staff. Recommend without hesitation:-)
