It was so nice to feel heard by both Dr. Cohen and his PA (Elizabeth). Dr. Cohen was personable, took the time to answer and explain in detail options available to me. Most importantly he didn’t seem rushed to see his next appointment!

Two new knees, 6 weeks apart, 8 weeks out from my first and I could not be any happier with the outcome. I have my life back. From start to finish, I experienced the best care possible. Every staff member was kind, compassionate and helpful. Dr. Cohen spoke with me before and after surgery making sure that all of my questions and concerns were answered. Just an overall great experience. I'm very happy with the outcome.

I’ve been a patient of Dr Cohen for over 6 years. Had successful knee replacement surgery and over the years have followed up with Dr Cohen. Had some concerns with knee this past year and his conservative, thoughtful approach has resulted in much improvement allowing me to resume my active lifestyle. His surge skills are excellent and his follow up attention was better than expected.
