Outstanding Dr

I have been a patient of Dr. Cohen for just about a year. I was fortunate to have been referred to him by my Ophthalmologist to treat me for early-onset Glaucoma. I am a 50-year-old man who, unfortunately, has been plagued with several other medical conditions in addition to the Glaucoma. Dr. Cohen tried treating me first with non-surgical methods; however, they were not successful, before, during, and after surgery, Dr. Cohen was amazing. Dr. Cohen is one of the most compassionate and caring

Great doctor

Dr. A. Cohen was recommended to me by Prof. R. Fechtner. He told me that I will be "in good hands" with Dr. A Cohen. Prof. R. Fechtner was 100% correct. Dr. A. Cohen is a very knowledgeable and caring doctor. He will spend as much time as needed without any rush to examine the patient, and then - as much time as needed to explain to the situation to the patient and honestly discuss all the alternatives. I feel extremely comfortable with Dr. A. Cohen and I have recommended him to everybody.

Dr. Cohen really cares about his patients and is knowledgeable about the latest procedures and medications.

Dr. Cohen has kept my glaucoma under control with successful surgeries and use of medication. I believe that it is only because of his expertise that I am able to continue to work and live a full life.

A doctor who really cares for you

After having been for years in the care of a probably competent but aloof physician, it was a relief to be in the hands of Dr. Cohen who is clearly concerned about my well being. Dr. Cohen listens and clearly explains the issues and his approach,. I have full trust in his competence.
