Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have had two spinal surgeries by Dr. Cohen. He is a gifted surgeon. I could barely walk or function before lower back surgery. My neck pain required two plates. The only pain I suffered after surgery was a sore throat. I continue to see him as my primary back doc.

Dr Cohen is an excellent doctor. I came out of my first surgery able to lift my hand right, right out of recovery which was impossible before.. I'm preparing for another surgery with Dr. Cohen and I feel very confident in his abilities. I would not have any surgery on my spine by anyone else. Dr. Cohen's PA-C Jennifer is an excellent addition to his staff. I feel very confident when talking to her..

Dr Cohen is a skilled surgeon and a kind person. His nurses and staff are also exceptional people who care deeply for their patients. My experience was 100% effective and I am completely recovered with problems resolved. I can't say enough how great these people are.

When I first met Dr. Cohen it was on referral from Providence Emergency Medicine in Anchorage. I was in poor shape. My arms and legs were weak to the point of being mostly unusable. The ER diagnosed me as having 4 cervical disks pressing on my spinal cord. Dr Cohen scheduled me for surgery with little wait. I was able to walk out of the hospital less than a week later. 4 level ACDF fixed me up pretty well. Thank You Dr Cohen it was a most wonderful Christmas gift
