I'm writing this 5 years after my double knee replacement because I see so many reviews about Dr. Cohens "bedside manner". Nonsense! He's a talented and gifted surgeon. I don't need him to "chat nonsense" with me or make me laugh. He is a surgeon, not a comedian. If I had a third leg I would go back to him again without hesitation. Excellent, life-changing results!

Worst experience I've had in years compared to other doctors. The same goes for his medical assistant and the entire visit procedure. In principle, he refused to provide me with medical help. I will never go there again.

I had specific questions that went unanswered because he didn’t listen. Worst bedside manner I’ve ever had. He may be technically proficient but I would never recommend.
