“The Doctor was very friendly and had clear communication. Thorough and considerate + detail-oriented. Went over next steps in a way that made sense and was agreed upon. Did not have to wait long to be seen. Support staff was less friendly and engaging.”

Great bedside manner. Dr. Cohen takes his time to see how you are doing and discuss any necessary medical updates with you and then provides you with a print out of what has been discussed for your records. This was such a great visit ! His assistant is the topping on the cake. Communicates with a level of professionalism, respect and care. It was such a pleasure to go over everything with
Olga. I’m so happy she’s with Vanguard!!
