Dr. Benjamin Lee Cohen, MD

After 15 years of being treated at Mount Sinai's IBD center, my horrible experience with Dr. Cohen forced me to change hospitals. He arbitrarily changed my diagnosis, thereby preventing me from having access or coverage to the medications that I require. He seems more committed to his own ego and being right than to patient care. There are a lot of great doctors at Mount Sinai, so I would find another provider.

Fantastic doctor to whom I am extremely grateful. Over the past 20 years, I have attempted to complete 10 colonoscopies including virtual and never succeeded. But Dr. Cohen and his team were able to. As he explained afterwards, mine was technically difficult and complex. Normal colonoscopies take 15 to 60 minutes. He dedicated 1 hour and 15 minutes with mine and succeeded. It was quite exciting to see pictures taken from all of the different parts of my colon. And most of all, that the quality of the bowel preparation allowed adequate to identify polyps, yet there were none found.
