Dr. Cohen has changed my skin and the way I treat it. He treated my acne quickly and simply and saved me from using expensive products and treatments that had never worked. Most importantly he has taught myself and my family proper sun care, again with products that are easy to find. He makes skin checks easy for the entire family. In terms of Botox, he has literally written the book on it and it shows!!! I have brought family and friends to him as there is absolutely no one else I would trust our skin to (the whole practice is amazing) and they agree!
