Dr. Cohen is very professional, very personable and very competent. I feel like his thoroughness in informing me is limited to responding to questions. For example, pre-surgery, I was informed he would do additional checking on associated internal organs. I didn't ASK, and so I got no feedback on his findings!

Excellent service & very knowledgeable

Tremendous. Could not have been more concerned about my situation. IUnique in fact.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/4/2025
The provider error seemed competent technically, but his commentary, which seemed to be for the benefit of the resident, felt unprofessional and did not instill confidence that I was getting optimal care.

Very good
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/20/2025
He was personable, he gave me time to ask questions. Even though he didn't have an answer he eased my mind a little. My problem is getting anyone to acknowledge my unusual medical history and to not dismiss it. That is not just here but almost everywhere.
