After 2 months of worrying, runaround and guesswork by various doctors, I visited Dr. Cohen to solve progressively worsening voice loss. Within 20 minutes, he diagnosed me with a vocal cord polyp, showed it to me on video, and scheduled its removal via outpatient surgery. He also illuminated the cause and a plan to combat future occurrences. That initial visit was such a relief, to finally have answers and to alleviate my concerns. Dr. Cohen was very knowledgeable and quite patient, answering all of my questions (god knows I... read more

It seems extraordinary to come across a friendly and professional medical office staff these days that I had to look around the office to make sure I was actually in a doctor's office! After I met with Dr. Cohen, I was inspired to write a review (my first). Again top notch professionalism and friendliness. I came in with throat irritation for the past month and being a prior smoker, I don't waste time. Turns out I have a minor issue and easily mendable. Yeah! My vocal chords were numbed and I got to see them on camera. Tha... read more

Dr Cohen and his staff are great, not only Did Dr Cohen help me , his surgery nurse was very helpful with all the details regarding my surgery and when I still had more questions I was able to talk with the office manager who was very professional, knowledgable and reassuring , made me feel like the office genuinely cared about my well being. Everything turned out amazing and was taken care of exactly as I was told. It's rare nowadays to find such a office where the whole staff is engaged in the patients.

I went to Dr. Cohen regarding frequent nosebleeds that I have had for 15 years since teenager. As a professional in the healthcare field, I paid attention to every step of the process, since I interact with this every day of work. First, the office staff that answered the phone were very knowledgeable, polite and informed. The scheduled my appointment quickly, knew exactly what days and what hours the doctor is there and how long the consultation would take. Obviously, they also let me know that my insurance is accepted. ... read more

The staff here is really friendly. I went in because I had a penitonsillar abscess. Everything I read and was told by the other doctors who pointed me here indicated I would need something surgical done, from my tonsils needing a minor incision to complete removal. I liked Dr. Cohen because he recognized that the abscess was actually going away on its own, prescribed me a special mouthwash, and decided to hold off on the operation, which I didn't ultimately end up needing.

Dr. Alen Cohen saved my life on November 29, 2012. At the age of 62 I was diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroid disease by Ian Yip, MD, Endocrinologist. I knew I was sick for at least 8-10 years. The other doctors blamed it on my age, working, etc. Dr. Ian Yip was the only one to diagnosis my illness. Dr. Yip immediately referred me to Dr. Cohen, ENT, for surgery. I thouroughly researched this disease and the best doctors in the country for this treatment, including UCLA and Tampa, Florida. I love to do research. My... read more

Thanks to Dr. Cohen I am a new person, I can breath and enjoy life like never before. I read complains about the office stuff. The stuff is very professional , very polite and caring. I had the best experience all together.

Dr. Cohen is one of the best there is, he's very knowledgable and conscientious in an age where it seems like doctors mostly are not. Will definitely go here again.
