Dr. Cohen has been my family's and mine orthopedic provider for over ten years. I only trust him with my knees and joints. I have never had a problem getting in to see him. He is caring and empathic. When I walked into the OR room, I began to panic. He took off his sterile gown and gloves. He held my hand until anesthesia kicked in. When I woke up, he made sure I was okay and not panicking anymore. I hate being put under. He called me later in the day to make sure I was okay and had no questions. His office is easy to get ahold of and always calls back with my questions.
