You know how people say they go to “the best doctor “? Well, my husband and I do. I have never written a comment on any thing , pro or con But today after 20 some odd years I decided to. We both have the upmost respect and confidence in Dr Cohen. We recommend him very highly ????

Excellent physician, kind, and with good humor. I couldn’t be more pleased. I particularly like the fact that he spends time with you, and the unusual fact that he took me on an emergency appointment, even though I was a new patient, I did not even know he did emergency appointments, but simply described my symptoms to the receptionist, who then offered me such an appointment. The best! And I have been to many dermatologists over the course of 74 years ????. Susan Thompson

Dr. Cohen has been my doctor for several years and I would recommend him to anyone. He is always very attentive, friendly, and I never feel rushed during my visit. He always follows up. I have always felt that he remembers me, details from my life, which has not always been my experience in the past with other doctors I have seen.
