The reviews listed below were collected independently of University Orthopedics through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Dr. Cohen’s surgical skills are top-notch. The outcome of the total knee replacement that he did for me has been excellent so far, for which I am truly grateful. However, his relentless focus on risks and liability concerns going into this surgery created a level of stress and uncertainty in me that was very unhelpful. Next time I’d say, show me all the data on potential risks b/w your outcomes in those areas – and then discuss the possible positive benefits and outcomes!

Dr. Cohen came into the room with a smile in his face. He actively llistened to my complaints, explained everything I can expect from surgery, including medications & postop expectations.
