Dr. Cohen is a very caring and knowledgeable physician. He takes time to listen to the concerns of his patients and treats them with respect and dignity. He made me feel very at ease during my office visit and a subsequent medical procedure he performed at the hospital. I would recommend Dr. Cohen without any reservation and am grateful for his care.

Perfect, excellent
Verified patient
Terrible experience. It was a complete waste of time and money. Dr. Cohen suggested not to get surgery. I ended up in the ER 3 times due to gallstone issues after taking his advice into consideration. I called his office to ask if I can get a referral for surgery and never got a call back from him. I had to wait about a month before getting an appointment and during that time my gallbladder got infected and ended up in the ER.
Dr. Cohen is a very caring and knowledgeable physician. He takes time to listen to the concerns of his patients and treats them with respect and dignity. He made me feel very at ease during my office visit and a subsequent medical procedure he performed at the hospital. I would recommend Dr. Cohen without any reservation and am grateful for his care.
Verified patient
Great doctor! He was very attentive to my problem and took his time to get the whole picture before providing his professional opinion. He did a great exam and clearly explained what the next steps are. His office offers a patient portal that will conveniently give me access to my lab results, which is wonderful! Overall, highly recommended!
Verified patient
Dr. Cohen is sharp, to the point but also very thorough. I was a new patient and he took the time to hear out my concerns and share his knowledge with me. He went the extra mile to get lab tests done for a problem other doctors would have possibly just told me to tough it out and deal with. He spent more time in the room (explaining, examining, and even drawing blood!) than any other doctor I've met. One of the most positive interactions with a doctor I've ever had. A+!
Verified patient
Dr. Cohen was professional and thorough. He gave me all the options for treatment and possible next steps. I'll definitely go back
Verified patient
Wonderful bedside manner. Very patient and thorough. Excellent diagnostician. Clean office and friendly and professional staff. Only downside was the wait. However, felt the quality of care was worth the wait.
Dr Cohen was very attentive, caring and knowledgable. He did a thorough review of my condition and provided me with options and recommendations. I was very impressed with the doctor and his staff.
Verified patient
Exelent!

Very thorough exam. Excellent doctor
Verified patient
From the front office personnel to Dr. Cohen, I hands down felt like I was being cared for thoroughly during my visit. The young lady who greeted me was so personable and nice and she made me feel at home and thoroughly walked me through the whole process of what to expect during my appointment. I waited no time to be seen by Dr. Cohen and he was very attentive and thoroughly walked me through everything I needed to know. His bedside manner was excellent, good humor, personable, and I could tell he really cared. I definitely highly recommend this office and Dr. Cohen and send major kudos to the office personnel and Dr. Cohen for making my experience a great one.
Verified patient
Dr Cohen was very nice and thoughtful. He was good at answering my questions and explaining what to do to deal with my diagnosis.
Great doctor
Verified patient
Lack luster waiting room but was received by a lovely receptionist and nurse . Md thoroughly examined me and explained in detail his finding . Super nice bedside manner . Highly recommend
Verified patient
Very nice and would recommend.
Verified patient
Very thorough and precise.
Verified patient
I really liked Dr. Cohen. He was thoughtful, asked questions and probed further, then listed what he suspected might be the problems, explained his suspicions, and sent me for further testing to rule stuff out. He didn't rush things - I hate it when doctors rush the appointment to get on to their next widget (er ...patient) on the conveyor belt.
Verified patient
The doc was very professional and answered all of my questions. He was kind, informative and helped to assuage my concerns. Definitely recommend!
Dr. Cohen is really kind, and I love that his staff explain what your insurance covers and what your charges will be. I like that they have all your information online as well, so you can see your blood work results at will. Dr. Cohen took the time to call me personally 2 days after my initial appointment, so I felt that he really took out the time to take care of me.
BAD!!!
Verified patient
Dr Cohen was thoughtful, personable, and generous with his time in answering questions. The office staff was also friendly and helpful. Overall a positive experience.
I found Dr. Cohen's bedside manner to be brief and cold. There were times when he would ask a question and then make me wait silently while he typed away at his computer. In addition, the visit felt very rushed and I felt uncomfortable asking additional questions.
Very unprofessional doctor. We go to doctors to get their professional opinion, not to be spoken to in a condescending manner just because they are more knowledgeable in the area of medicine. I think this doctor has forgotten that not everyone is a medical professional and the point of seeing him is to get his help and assistance not his judgement. I would highly suggest you go see another doctor if you can.
Verified patient
Dr Cohen is a really nice doctor! He listened to my medical history and answered all my questions and made sure I understood everything throughout the visit. This was my first time seeing him, so hopefully I will be back in tip- top shape in no time!!
I had a very pleasant experience and most importantly his follow-up was timely. He worked with my primary doctor (my father) to figure out the best solution for my Crohns flareup.
Verified patient
Very nice guy.
I did not have a good experience here. It was my first time seeing a gastro so all of this is new to me. I had a short consultation and then given medication and sent out the door. I was given no instructions on how to take the medication and had to google it myself. Being my first time, I did not know any questions to ask and the doctor made no effort to tell me what I needed to know. All in all, a bad experience. My symptoms have come back and I am going to a different doctor for a second opinion and better treatment/attention.
Dr.Cohen was very professional and caring .
Verified patient
Great Doctor! Highly recommended.
Verified patient
Good visit, very professional, thanks
Verified patient
This was my first visit, we haven't diagnosed the cause of my troubles yet but are in the process. Dr. Cohen seemed thorough, courteous and polite. We have some more follow up tests.
He definitely helped me understand my medical situation and even though at least for a while I'll have to cope with it, at least I know that it won't get worst.
Verified patient
Yes, I will. He is good doctor.
Verified patient
Amazing bedside manner! Made me feel very comfortable. More importantly, he made sure I understood everything before I left. I highly recommend him!
