Brett Cohen Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

Dr.cohen is the best he treats you like family he and his entire staff is so warm caring and always there to help I will recommend him to everyone he's the best

Dr. Cohen is honest, knowledgeable, and extremely experienced in the field with an outstanding personality and care for people.

My first impression of Dr. Cohen was that he is a very warm and caring person who sincerely had my best interest at heart. I continue to feel the same way. He listens to my complaints and encourages me to listen to my body. Never have I felt embarrassed or discouraged to ask questions. I have no complaints about him or his staff. They are always pleasant and professional. rnrnDr. Cohen's practices with 2 or 3 other well known bariatric surgeons. The program that they have developed is good and they are always fine tuning it to make it better. The risks of surgery are also discussed in group & individual consultaions. Aftercare is emphasized and I was told on each visit by him that my banding is only a \"tool\", and that it was up to me to make it work for me. rnrnOverall, I give Dr. Cohen a 10+ in surgical competence, bedside manner, and just plain 'ol support. He's great along with the entire staff!

What can I say about the BEST surgeon around? Dr. Cohen is second to none. He is GREAT. He was there for me all through my surgery as well as after and is still there for me. His doctor-patient bedside manner is awesome. He truly cares about his patients. His knowledge and abilities surpass the regular surgeon. I trust him thoughly. I wish more doctors looked at his practices and followed suit. Way to go Dr. Cohen. Keep up the good work.

He is a very informed surgeon. From the research I've done, and the reviews I've heard from former patients, and others he is a world renowed surgeon. I'm trusting that the God I serve would not let me down in leading me to him.

I met with Dr. Cohen today for my first consult. For a surgeon, he had an exccellent bedside manner and made me feel very comfortable. He has some cockiness, which is definitely a big plus in my book. He's also very thorough and is sending me for several extra tests (CT Scan and Endoscopy) due to my medical history.

Friendly good bedside manner. Helpful office staff. Patients are discharged from the hospital with his personal pager number. Aftercare is highly stressed as well as not gaining any weight before surgery. Risks of surgery address by completing a test, questions answered as needed by his nurse at preop class. Yes, they have a sturctured aftercare program. I am satisfied thus far with Dr Cohen as a medical professional.

my first impression of him was at a seminar and he seems extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He told us all about the risks involved with each type of surgery according to our health, such as heart problems, diabetes, etc. I had no other health problems except for the EXTRA weight. He made me feel as east about even thinking about getting the surgery. I never got the impression that he was looking down at me and his beside manner is wonderful. I've never had a more respectful doctor. His office staff is very nice not like the rude ones you usually encounter. He emphasizes aftercare all the time, Make sure your doing your excersizes and eating right, go see the nutrictionalist if you have any problems with what to eat, he knows when I need a fill by listening to me and not just decideing to give me one. I have had 2 fills in the 5 months since my band and am feeling good. I think that both surgical competence and beside manner are important in there own way. I don't think that I would have trusted him as much if he had a bad bedside manner.

Dr. Brett Cohen, Hollywood, FL was my surgeon. I could not recommend anyone better. His bedside manner, his genuine concern and caring for his patients and his thouroughness are bar none. His office staff are awesome and reliable. His aftercare is great and I never felt I was left alone... Dr. Cohen always makes himself available anytime you need him... he always returns calls promptly and is very concerned with individual care. I adore him and I am so glad I chose to have him perform my surgery. I have lost 61 pounds and I feel wonderful!!!

My first impression of Dr. Cohen was funny one. Even though he has many years of experience he looks really young. When he came in to meet me for the first time he extended his hand to me and said that he was the doctor. I said: "no really.......where is the doctor???" He could not stop laughing.

What I like most about Dr. Cohen is that he gives it to you straight. He does not sugar coat the situation at hand. He is very thorough in his procedures. He explains everything until you understand it. And if you have any questions he does not mind answering them. I love the fact that he is not like many other doctors who coe in to see you and then 5-10 minutes later they are gone. Dr. Cohen stays with you until you do not have more questions to ask. He jokes around a lot but gets serious when the time calls for it.

His office staff along with Dr. Bass are excellent and very, very, very friendly.

After care is an extremely important aspect for their office. Dr. Cohen and his office staff consider the patients a part of their family after surgery. Even if you do not have to come in anymore they want you to keep them updated on your situation. Once you leave the hospital you leave with Dr. Cohens personal pager number in case something goes wrong or you have any questions in the middle of the night.

I would give Dr. Cohen an 8 for now because I have not had my surgery yet. After I do and once everything comes out fine, I will update if necessary.

He has a great personality overall. If you are scared he puts you at ease. I think he is an excellent doctor.
