Very knowledgeable of sinus issues and knows when to refer to other specialists. I would recommend Dr. Cohen or Dr. Herschcovitch for their expertise. I had sinus surgery done by Dr. Cohen and have not had to have another one since (especially when I follow their directions).

I had two surgeries performed by Dr. Cohen. My first surgery was a Tonsillectomy in May 2013 and my 2nd surgery was a Septoplasty (Deviated Septum) in July 2015. Dr. Cohen did an amazing job with both surgeries. I personally thank you very much for everything, this has been a life changing event for me. I had no idea how bad I was breathing until Dr. Cohen fixed it. I had multiple problems because of my tonsils, I could not breath, eat well and I would get sick all the time. It was just bad and they had to go. Right after su... read more

Thank you very much Sergio for your kind comments. It's a pleasure to have helped you and I'm glad you're finally breathing well through your nose and mouth. All my best to you and family!

Many people struggle through the daily struggles of their sinus pain or pressure. I was in immense pain everyday with horrible headaches and horrible breathing from either of my nostrils. Dr Cohen is on of the best ENT's I have ever been too and will be coming for years to come! Dr. Cohen looked right at me and said it looks like you really are pain and this became more apparent when he internally looked at my nose. It was decided right then and there that I would be having a surgery right away to fix all the problems that ... read more

I owe a lot of gratitude to Dr Cohen and his staff. Back in February i visited Dr Cohen for a second opinion. I had been suffering with sinus issues for quite some time. The original ENT my primary care physician recommended told me i had to have surgery. As a working mother of two young kids, that just wasn't an option. I was then refereed to Dr Cohen by one of my co workers. After discussing my issues with Dr Cohen he laid out many possible options for treatment. Since I didn't want to go to surgery he told me about an in-... read more

I am so thankful to find such a kind, caring and knowledgeable surgeon. I had a parathyroid tumor and was having difficulty with my insurance and my surgery. Dr Cohen called me personally to apologize for what I had been through(even though it wasn't his fault) and told me he would help in any way he could. Once all the insurance problems were worked out Dr. Cohen got me into surgery as soon as possible.He is a great surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner. It's been 2 weeks since my surgery and I am pain free thank god! I ... read more

I had a septoplasty to try & correct a deviated septum a little less than 3 years ago, after having had one about 20 yrs ago. I had heard docs can do so much more now than 20 years ago, and Dr. Cohen was not afraid to go as deeply into the nasal cavity as he needed to. It was a miracle that I can breathe so much better; still true after 3 years. For the first time in my life, I can sleep on my right side. Unfortunately, my insurance has changed and he is no longer in my network. His office can be busy, and there were ti... read more

I've been seeing Dr. Cohen for years and trust his skills and judgement. He recommended two in-office procedures to improve my breathing -- Balloon Sinuplasty and Turbinate Reduction. He performed the procedures a couple of weeks ago and I am astonished to say it has been LIFE CHANGING. I can breathe -- really breathe. I'd been stopped up for so long I'd forgotten what it was like to breathe. I sleep the night through. I wake up hours earlier feeling refreshed. I have more energy. My wife says I've stopped snoring. ... read more

They were fantastic! The surgery was a huge success and I could not thank God enough for finding you! Your kindness and gentle hand made all the difference! You and your team are simply the best! Thank you!" 

Business response:

Thank you dearly Catherine, it is my pleasure to provide great care to you and all my patients! All the best in the coming year.

I want to start by saying that I was very nervous prior to my surgery. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and a better result. Dr. Cohen explained everything prior to the procedure, did a great job at the surgery, and was there for me all along until I completely healed. I also want to thank the West Hills Surgical Center and the anesthesiologists. You made the experience as painless as possible and I really recommend anyone who reads this message and needs an ENT doctor to consider Dr. Alen Cohen. I highly recomm... read more
