Not only is Dr. Cohen a highly skilled surgeon, he is one the most caring and compassionate doctors I have ever met. I went to Dr. Cohen after enduring a breast reconstruction by another surgeon who left my totally disfigured. Surprisingly enough, the first surgeon was a female and I had mistakenly thought that a female doctor would give me the compassion and care that I needed following my bilateral mastectomy. I couldn’t have been more wrong and I paid the price for that assumption with a disfigurement that was so profound that I couldn’t bear to look at myself in the mirror. I was reluctant to go though another surgery and recovery, but decided to meet with Dr. Cohen to see if he felt there was something he could do to correct the disfigurement and make me look and feel normal.

Dr. Cohen was an absolute Godsend! He was kind and gracious, and he treated me like a member of his own family. He took the time to explain every detail of what he would do to improve the first result, answered all of my questions and I could tell that he really cared about me as a person and wanted to achieve the best result possible for me.

My surgery took place on Friday, 3/25/11, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Dr. Cohen’s skill and talent as a plastic surgeon is obvious when you look at my before and after pictures. After a very long journey, I finally feel “whole.” For those of us who have fought breast cancer and made it through, it is comforting to finally feel a sense of normalcy once again.

Dr. Cohen’s wonderful staff, Shelly and Shanna, are also to be commended for their unfailing kindess and willingness to help me through every step of the process. I appreciate the excellent care I received from of you and thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Sincerely,
D.H.
