She gave me the best prostate exam I've ever had! I will definitely be taking my kids to her.

I found Dr. Cohen and her office staff to be very pleasant and approachable. There was a bit of a wait to be seen, but it wasn't excessive. Dr. Cohen was very knowledgeable and offered several inexpensive, simple treatment options for me. She certainly didn't try to push any unnecessary procedures as some other doctors do. I would highly recommend her.

Disgusting attitude and talks as though you are beneath her. I don’t know why she chose this field. I would not reccommend anyone to her. Three of my family members were patients and I will never allow her to touch my kids.

I have never found the wait time unreasonable in Dr. Cohen’s office. I have ALWAYS found Dr. Cohen competent, thorough, and attentive. She is a specialist, but I felt she cared about me as a whole person. There were some issues with a reception staffperson that didn’t seem in line with Dr. Cohen’s values; I noticed that this particular individual did not work for Dr. Cohen terribly long. Her current staff is stellar.
