Jeffrey S. Cohen, DVM, DACVIM

I have been taking my Westie, Zero to Dr. Cohen since Zero was 4 months old. Zero is now a happy 3 year old who is growing up way too fast .but thanks to Dr. Cohen, he is growing up healthy.
Dr. Cohen is a «world class» veterinarian and if you want the VERY BEST FOR YOUR PET. you should bring them to Dr. Cohen at the Newport Beach Veterinary Hospital.
These past 3 years have been filled with ups and downs through Zero’s delicate puppyhood to the onset of his allergies. Through each visit, Dr. Cohen has always gone out of his way to make me feel at ease about Zeros health.
Each time we make an appointment, he takes time to explain everything in detail and most importantly — he listens to my concerns and questions calmly and patiently. He is never in a rush and answers my questions with confidence, honesty and compassion.
I could go on and on about Dr. Cohen’s professionalism, but what means the most to me is that he is compassionate, caring and I know that he truly loves each of his patients as if they were his own. He has always treated Zero with so much care and compassion that it makes me feel as if Zero is his top priority… even though I know he has many patients. he still makes you feel as if your pet is the only that mattered.
Also, he gives back to the community by working with rescue shelters and providing care for their pets.
He and Dr. Debra, his wife, are amazing individuals who truly care about the health and well being of all their patients. This is evident in how much time they spend with the pets who stay overnight. They are there with them — Dr. Cohen and Dr. Deb spend their holidays surrounded by their overnight patients.
I highly recommend Dr. Cohen, Dr. Deb and the entire Newport Beach Veterinary Hospital. I drive over 20 miles to his office … and for Zero to be in the best of hands. I would drive thousands of miles. to Dr. Cohen.
From the technology to the expertise to the staff. you won’t find a more caring or compassionate team than the entire team of Dr. Cohen and Newport Beach Veterinary Hospital. They are amazing and they are the best!

Dr Cohen has been our veterinarian for 15 years through two dogs. Both he and his team are highly professional, compassionate and caring. He is a talented diagnostician and skilled surgeon. He cared for our last lab through many years of cancer when it went undiagnosed initially by two other local vets. Every time our dog had a surgery, Deb Cohen stayed the entire night by his side. We wouldn’t consider another veterinarian and are grateful to be clients of their office.

Dr. Cohen is a world class vet working out of his hospital (Newport Beach Veterinary Hospital). The staff is super helpful and caring. The ability to heal a sick pet is top priority.
Dr. Cohen has the latest in cutting edge veterinary medicine. He does a lot of prevention and always gives the owner options for treatment. He will give you all the time you need to answer any questions. The entire staff wants to help the pets.
After 27 years of being a continuous patient, I strongly recommend Dr. Cohen. Coming from 25 miles away, I pass literally 20+ vets. Many are closer. None offer the overall experience of the Newport Beach Veterinary Hospital or the care they offer. Not even close!

Was inspired by a neighbor referral to see Dr. Cohen but encountered an extremely unprofessional front desk attendant who poorly represents Dr. Cohen and the wonderful referral I had received. Was informed their «3» hour a day schedule sufficed for most and if I couldnt make an appointment I had scheduled in the AM, I should follow suit of many of their clients and hire an assistant to bring my dog in! Was also told appointment changes are not accepted under any conditions and that they operate under a «one strike, your out» philosophy! Although I was enthusiastic to meet Dr. Cohen, under no circumstances would I put my dogs into the hands of a business that is as pretentious, cold and impolite as the women answering phones! First impressions can make or break a business and unfortunately, this golden rule of thumb applied today. (For the record, this is my first Unilocal review!).

Nothing compares to feeling of happiness and relief you get when your sick puppy is saved. Dr Cohen and his team at Newport Beach Vet Hospital are simply outstanding!

My review is based on two months of treatment with constant visits to this facility; therefore, I am not basing this review on a sole incident but on a series of them.
This place is absolutely amazing and here is why: My Mia (English Bulldog on my default picture), was saved by doctors and staff at Newport Beach after a horrific accident with a truck during Thanksgiving. After the tragedy, we took Mia to a hospital in St. Monica where she had her first surgery to repair her left femur that was broken into numerous pieces. Mia’s injuries were so severe that we took her to Newport Beach Vet in order to treat her for the rest of her injuries and subsequent surgeries; that was the best thing we could have ever done.
Treatment:
–Dr. Cohen is one of the best veterinarians the world has ever seen, not only does he give your pet the best care but he explains the process to great detail that you feel you were present when the care was given. Also, feel free to ask any questions as he answers all of them. You don’t feel rushed when you are talking to him and he is far from being the «cold doctor» you encounter in the medical field, he is very personable and you know he loves what he does. Mia got a really bad infection after the first surgery at the other hospital because the place failed to sterilize appropriately, and Dr. Cohen treated Mia for the infection and other issues that resulted from the accident. There is a possibility that Mia would have lost her leg if the infection was not treated :(
–Dr. Fitch is one of the country’s top orthopedic surgeons, it is also, thanks to his magical hands that Mia is walking again. He, like doctor Cohen, knows what he is doing and performed two surgeries for Mia. He aligned her pelvis and fixed the femur that was incorrectly treated at the first hospital. After every surgery he called and told us all about them :) Nothing better than a follow up call to ease your mind and heart.
–Debra Cohen, well to sum it up, she is an angel. Her healing hands helped with the physical therapy, the road rash, the exams, etc. She is such a loving person that I felt so comfortable leaving Mia with her from the moment I saw her. There is nothing better than knowing that our little family members get love at the «hospital» (it’s more like a five star hotel for pets). Mia loves her so much that she goes crazy when she sees her. Debra would send us updates on Mia via text and seeing her messages always lit up our days.
Staff:
You are welcomed with water, wine or other beverage. The girls at the front desk called us on a weekly basis to tell us how Mia was doing and since we live in Woodland Hills they would accommodate our visiting hours every time. There were instances were we would over welcome our stay and they were closed, but the girls never rushed us even though they needed to go home. Like the rest of the family at Newport Vet, the girls at the front love Mia and gave her lots of affection.
The girls in the back, are also very loving and Maria was so nice to my Mia that I will be eternally grateful.
Facility:
The place is very clean and they have a beautiful salt water fish tank that compliments the black and white tile. Parking has never been an issue even on their busy Saturdays. You can park in the back or there is plenty of space outside on PCH.
Now, over two months later, my Mia is back home and happier than ever, but I must say Newport is her second home and we will be eternally grateful.

Fantastic office. I go there for the best OFA xrays on the west coast. The staff is friendly and helpful.
