Treatment Philosophy
I am a urologist specializing in the medical, procedural, and surgical management of urinary symptoms in men and women including urinary leakage and difficulty urinating, female urethral disorders, pelvic organ prolapse, and bladder dysfunction caused by a neurologic condition, injury, or cancer treatment.
The conditions I treat can have a profound impact on quality of life and may lead to physical and emotional discomfort and social isolation. I recognize my patients’ need for approachable, comforting, and compassionate care that will allow them to navigate their symptoms and treatment options. Together, we develop an individualized diagnostic and treatment plan that focuses on understanding why symptoms are present and how we can best manage them.
When procedures or surgery are necessary, my extensive fellowship training and operative experience in traditional open and minimally-invasive/robotic surgery, vaginal surgery, and advanced approaches to neuromodulation allow me to meet my patients’ needs. However, many conditions that my patients experience can be managed effectively without surgery. Dietary recommendations, physical therapy, medications, or office-based procedures that require only local anesthesia may be considered as part of a multi-faceted treatment plan.
My research interests are in reducing the burden of care for patients. Specific projects include: utilizing smart phone-based home symptom assessment, improving access to recommended testing and treatments, and evaluating the benefits of minimally-invasive approaches to bladder removal, bladder augmentation, and urinary tract reconstruction.
It is a privilege to care for our patients at Fox Chase, where we hope our collaborative and compassionate approach leads to optimal patient outcomes.
Patient Comments
Doctors and staff are excellent
I was very impressed with the attention received from the doctor and physician's assistant as well as the information received via email prior to my visit.
Dr. Cohn has been my life-saver He and his office always return my calls and answer all my concerns!Wonderful, compassionate and caring! Could not ask for a better doctor!
Dr. Cohn and his staff are competent, caring, efficient. Super attention to my concerns.
This was my first visit with this provider. It was embarrassing to meet him for the first time after being prepped and naked from the waist down, waiting for over 20 minutes this way in the bright blinding lights. Thankfully I insisted the PA take my history before I was prepped instead of after or I would have been waiting that way even longer. It was very evident that the visit was arranged for the speed and comfort of the providing team and not the patient. We spoke briefly about an issue I was having then he excused myself while I changed. When I returned I met only with the PA and Dr Cohn did not return, although he said we would speak about it further after I was changed. I'm sure he's extremely talented at what he does and very knowledgeable in his specialty but I did not like how the visit was run. There's no way to have another first impression, I just hope things are smoother next visit.
