Our 7-year-old daughter needed emergency brain surgery after a bicycle accident. Dr. Cohen stayed with us through the night, updating us every hour. He even drew cartoons on her bandages to make her smile. We'll never forget how he treated our family like we were his only patients.

As an 82-year-old with spinal stenosis, I was terrified of surgery. Dr. Cohen explained everything with such patience, using simple analogies that even my grandchildren could understand. His hands were steady as a rock during the procedure, and now I'm walking pain-free for the first time in a decade.
