Joshua M Cohen, MD

Honestly the worst experience I have ever had. Super in appropriate and unprofessional. He is completely oblivious to how bad he is. He needs to retire ASAP.

Guess I had to revamp my review, again.
My wife has the same story as others, he recommends things that are not needed and apparently you need them done urgently! She can never ask questions because he is always in such a rush, he doesn’t read the charts of the patients because he didn’t even know what she was in for after she had surgery with him. «What are you here for today?» He says. He is unprofessional.
He never even stuck around to talk to me after her surgery to let me know what was done, the nurses didn’t even know that he vanished. They didn’t even know what he had done in surgery and we had to wait for her 1^st follow up appointment just so we knew how long to treat her. He even performed something that she didn’t even find out about until the follow up appointment, because he said it needed to be done.
When my wife had her very 1^st appointment last year, he showed her his accomplishments from back in the 90’s. He makes inappropriate comments about her lower area, my wife was in tears after her last follow up appointment, and all he could do was mention how tight she was… REALLY!!!
Mark our words, it is the last appointment. We will never go back there again.
And if you were smart, you would not go here either.
He has even told my wife about other patients and why he was running late, «there is another patient bleeding in the other room.»
Oh, and he calls her «Lovey» all the time. There are several more things that are a little too inappropriate to post in this.
I think that it is time to retire.

I’m only leaving one star because I can’t leave none. I saw Dr Cohen two years ago and still can’t get over how inappropriate he was and how uncomfortable the nurse/​whoever she was seemed to be. They also asked me to fill out a comment card before the doc (if he even really is one) even saw me which I found strange. Furthermore when I was checking out he was discussing my scripts out loud with the nurses which I also found inappropriate as it was adjacent to the waiting room and not discrete. I would highly suggest seeing another doctor.

I have been seeing DR. Cohen for years and have had no problems whatsoever! He is kind and professional and has always treated me with respect. He remembers my husband and family and asks about them. Im shocked to see all the negative posts and comments.

there are many many good docs so if you are choosing one through Unilocal,pick one with more than one star. I have good resons to say this but really long story. Few things are same as other Unilocalers who gave this doc 1 star.

Wow — I’m really surprised by the reviews below. I’ve been a patient of Dr. C’s for 10 years, and I’ve always had the most positive of experiences. He is thorough, takes his time, and most of all listens to all concerns. I’ve had a fibroid, a little breast lump and all have been taken care of with great concern for me — what’s best for me, etc. I would totally recommend Dr. Cohen. He and his staff are professional, and make you feel comfortable at the same time. — Sue D.

I had a fibroid outside of my uterus which was removed by Dr. Cohen in 2009. Dr. Cohen is the type of doctor that makes you think he cares for you, but in reality he is false. What started to disappoint me about Dr. Cohen was that he always seem to be rushing, his lack of professionalism and his lack of listening to your concerns. After my last visit I asked him that I wanted some contraceptive pills to make my period more lighter. I don’t even remember what pills he gave me but the bottom line is that he did not even explain to me how to use them.
For my surprise these pills made me bleed my work pants were soaking in blood. If I would have known about all these negative reviews about Dr. Cohen I would have never let him do any type of surgery on me. I was so much in pain when I had the fibroid that I just wanted surgery so the pain could go away. Unfortunately, I did not do my research meticulously and chose a bad doctor for this procedure. Dr. Cohen has many other negative reviews in other websites, Dr. Cohen just worries about getting money from your insurance and about doing unnecessary surgeries.
The reason why I say he likes to do unnecessary surgeries is because he tried to convince me to have a labiaplasty with him. Because according to Dr. Cohen «my sexual relations were painful» At that moment I knew this doctor was all about performing surgeries for money. For the women out there be careful and don’t let this doctor fool you with his fake caring attitude
Update 8÷11÷2011− This is a response to Dr. Cohen first my review is not a defamation to you, as you can see there are other women that felt the same way about you. If these women had the same bad experience with you than they have all the right to post a review like I did.
I do not doubt that you are a experience doctor and that you may be good at what you do; however, calling my review a defamation just confirms that you have lack of professionalism. Instead I think you should work on providing a better service to your patients..

apparently I’ve had a completely different experience than previous reviews. I think this place is great. I appreciate the sincerity and politeness of Dr Cohen as well as the medical staff. As awkward as a gyno office can seem, I definitely walked out of there feeling comfortable and at ease. Yes, like any other doctor/​medical office, I had to lay there on the table with a paper sheet draped across me for a good 10 minutes, but in all honesty it helped me to settle down and calm my nerves before the inevitable process of being poked and probed. The doctor asked all the right questions and addressed all my girlhood woes with complete understanding. I’m happy I’ve finally found a suiting gynecologist.

I also had a similar experience as Emilee C. I was told to come back for an out patient procedure which I later found out by other professionals was completely unecessary and overly aggressive. If you do decide to go to this doctor, make sure you have your fact straights and ask questions!
When i discussed his treatment plan with my old gynocologist back east and with the doctor I saw for a second opinion, they were both very alarmed with his opinion and suggested I no longer go to him.

Unfortunately I had pretty much the same experience as the original post. A lot of his patients that I overheard in the waiting room think «he really cares» and I guess his style, however unorthodox, may appeal to some. Not me.
In the 3 visits I’ve made, he referred to me as «my love,» told me very personal information (unsolicited) about another patient of his, pulled me closer to his face by the thighs instead of just asking me to move down (making an awkward situation incredibly more awkward). I was also never able to get afternoon appointments despite telling them I work 12 hour nights and don’t get home until 7am.\
I’m always in the waiting room at least 30 minutes, then have to wait another 20 minutes or so pantsless on the examination table while I can hear him laughing (flirting?) with the office staff outside.
To top it off, he told me I needed an outpatient surgery after a 10 second visual exam. When I called to cancel and advise that I would be seeing another doctor from now on, he called my primary care physician. For what, I honestly don’t know.
***UPDATE (10/​11/​10)*** Since posting this review I’ve received a few emails from patients of Dr. Cohen’s who were also told they needed a LEEP procedue, which is a removal of part of your cervix which requires general anesthesia and can actually leave a woman infertile. I was told I needed this procedure urgently and that he performed, «4 or 5 of these a week» which set off an alarm. I got a second opinion and was given a clean bill of health, as were the other young women that have contacted me. If Dr. Cohen tries to coerce you into this procedure PLEASE PLEASE get a second opinion.

This Dr. might be very good at was he does… but he makes me feel very uncomfortable. His opening line is «are you nervous?». When my results came back negative in the office he told me «not to hold my breath», meaning that they might come back positive (which could be true… but you don’t say it like that!)
He also spoke to me like I was a two yr old, in a lecturing tone. Didn’t listen when I asked a question and then said «so what do you want?». He asked if I was married and when I answered no, he asked «do you plan to?». I’m sorry but how is that his business?
There were a few other things he said as well that made the experience uncomfortable. OH and the first time I went in a waited for over an hour to be seen. 45 mins of that was sitting in the exam room with no pants on. He then came in and told me why he was late and what condition the person had in the next room! Unprofessional???
I will never go back there! I left that office twice very upset, to the point of tears.
