When a patient must wait 5+ weeks to see a doctor in this practice when experiencing symptoms, then told that you don't need a colonoscopy, when in fact you do...there's a problem. Due to Dr Cohen's improper handling of a patient and their symptoms, the colon ruptured which resulted in death.

Horrible man MD. He didn't introduce himself r make eye contact. I saw him for liver biopsy consult. He read ultrasound report and said "This doesnt look good." Read Mri report said"this doesnt look good" Sent me for every blood test for CA./METS. I went into emotional tailspin.Almost had a breakdown. All tests were negative. Stay away from this pos schmuck.

bedside manner was mistaken for bedpan manner. If there was less than one star, I would have been more accurate. Money grubbing, overbooked. His "God Complex" Time is way more important than your time. Not his only office, because there are only so many paying patients in any area that are willing to wait for this "doctor" to talk down to you and try scare tactics for additional colonoscopies.

I have had only outstanding experiences with Dr. Cohen. He is very competent. He has always answered any questions I have had and treated me with great care. He is a wonderful diagnostician and would recommend him highly. I had some very serious issues and he squeezed me in and took the time out of his very busy day to help me. This is t something you see these days. Some of these negative posts don't sound founded.

This doctor was called into my dying mother's room to drain her belly of fluid. He was cold and detached with no gentleness at all. She cried out in immense pain. The experience haunts me. The last thing a person wants is to see a loved one not only dying but suffering.

the negative rate the last person gave must have had a personal problem. I found Dr Cohen acted in a professional manner. i have had 3 colonoscopies done by Dr Cohen with no problems. explained everything in detail. his staff acted very professional and made me feel at ease. GREAT JOB

This Dr. had the world's worst bedside manner. A family member is very ill; we showed up for an appt; waited over 2 hours; then another 1/2 hour in the room. He was rude, obnoxious, scared us, said stupid remarks, and get saying, "I just need to say this so I dont get sued". This guy is going down. I hope he loses his entire practice. He is not deserving of being a Dr. He was horrible. Please do not go there, or send anyone you care about to him. Absolutely the worst Dr. encounter of my life. And I've had many.
