Dr. Cohen did surgery on me. Laminectomy and fusion L3-5. I was having difficulty walking and my quality of life had changed. He took 5 hours rather than the2-3 he planned to make sure relievd all the compression. I am actually on day 2 preop and still in the hospital. I am doing really well and sittin up in the chair and walking. This is the most caring doctor with attetion to detail. I have not felt this good in decades. You will be pleased if you see him, any of the other doctors or the PAs. I am a health care professional and it is comfirmed that I choose the best!
