5 /5 Rohan Iyer: Dr. Cohen is, without question, the most transformative physician and provider of care I have ever had the privilege of encountering. This assessment is not made lightly. It stems from extensive personal experience with numerous physicians across California, Massachusetts, Illinois, New York, and Pennsylvania. Dr. Cohen’s profound dedication to the total wellbeing of his patients sets him apart. He understands that health is not confined to the clinic. Rather, it extends to every single dimension of a person’s life. Dr. Cohen demonstrates a rare and genuine investment in his patients family dynamics, mental health, social engagement, dietary habits, and even their personal aspirations and dreams. He is a guiding figure and a friend.
Unlike many others, Dr. Cohen does not fall into the common trap of viewing patients merely through the lens of clinical care. He treats his patients as whole individuals, advising them while respecting their autonomy and considering the full depth of their lives. His commitment to this philosophy is evident in the extraordinary lengths he goes to support his patients. In my own experience, this meant not only answering a 2 a.m. phone call when I was enduring debilitating stomach pain, but also staying in communication with my family until the morning to ensure I received necessary medications promptly and without delay. Dr. Cohen and his team consistently go above and beyond, living in service of their patients.
Equally impressive is Dr. Cohen’s commitment to collaborating with the most accomplished specialists in the field. His own expertise is unparalleled, but he understands that medicine is a team effort. His network includes some of the most reputable neurosurgeons, gastroenterologists, oncologists, and psychiatrists in California—and in turn, the world. Dr. Cohen’s network is a reflection of his diligence and discernment in selecting colleagues who share his commitment to excellence. Unlike the all-too-common practice of offering generic referrals, Dr. Cohen ensures that his patients are entrusted to only the most skilled and compassionate specialists. This level of intentionality has been a paradigm shift. Amidst my most stressful moments, it entirely relieved me of the overwhelming burden of researching and identifying top-tier providers.
Having faced one health-related obstacle after another over the last few years, Dr. Cohen’s care and expertise provided me with an unfathomable advantage in overcoming each and every difficulty along the way. His unparalleled dedication, compassion, and competence have earned my highest recommendation, and I am confident he will inspire the same confidence in anyone fortunate enough to be under his care.
