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

I had my surgery April 2012. It changed my life for the best !!!!! I had been suffering for 40 years from sinus infections and breathing problems. 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.

Dr. Cohen contacted me this evening regarding my review, I was pretty surprised really. I believe that shows a level of commitment to his practice and patients. I replied and certainly hope things will be better our next visit. I look forward to being able to say everything is top notch over there. We'll see....

Dr. Cohen operated on my 85-year-old mother who had Zenker's diverticulum. She had suffered with this condition for years because she didn't want to undergo the serious invasive surgery that is the norm for correcting this condition. Dr. Cohen was able to repair the problem endoscopically with no ill effects and only a 1-night stay in the hospital. It truly changed my mother's life as she can now eat whatever she wants without any difficulty. She was so fortunate to experience this surgery at the hands of an artist. Dr. ... read more

I had only fallen asleep once next to my Definitely-Meant-To-Be, but already she could tell something was seriously wrong. She had said that I had stopped breathing for a number of seconds, but would take a large gasp of breath, and then slow my breathing again until I stopped breathing alltogether, only to repeat the cycle. She made sure that I got medical follow-up and Dr. Cohen was an ENT physician that I had heard about thru work. Dr. Cohen was exactly the kind of Dr. I was looking for. When I had dealt with the Kaiser... read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Cohen's since 2023, and have in the past written a stellar review for him. Unfortunately things have greatly changed. I had a severe sinus infection, which I get on occasion. I have been suffering from sinus issues since I was a child. When I called his office I was informed he had no appointment for several weeks, but they would put me on a waiting list. I was never called back. I recently received a reminder notice for my "annual checkup" made the appointment. When I mentioned this to Dr. Cohen... read more

Dr Cohen was more focused on getting more money for my visit than fixing my problem. Told me to keep using ointment that my Dermatologist prescribed. After I stopped the ointment my problem resurfaced. Dr Cohen downplayed my condition saying there is nothing to worry about and it's just a scab. Went to see another Dr yesterday that's testing me for allergies, put me on antibiotics, allergy meds, gave me sinus rinse and sending me to get a CT scan. That's called treating a patient and getting to the root of a problem.
