Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Leslie Cohen is an Exceptional Surgeon!
Dr. Leslie Cohen is by far the best surgeon around. This was my first elective procedure (BA & Lift) and she surely did not disappoint, She took the time to go over all my needs to make sure the outcome was everything I wanted and perfect for me and my body shape. Dr. Cohen did not just make me feel like 'another patient' she generally cared about me as a person and my outcome, just as much as me. That kind if compassion is what made me feel super comfortable and knew I was in good hands. I am now 4 weeks post op and she still meets with me weekly to make sure I am doing okay and to continue to monitor my entire healing. I also want to mention, along with Dr Cohen, her entire staff is just as wonderful. Their dedication to me as a patient has been nothing but an incredible experience. I highly recommend Dr Leslie Cohen and her staff for anyone seeking plastic surgery. You will NOT be disappointed.

Dr. Choen changed my life. I had horrible bat arms
I had horrible bat arms from being over 300 lbs and Lossing 100lbs.I tried exercises and diets, but the arms never left. When I waved my arms they waved too. My primary doctor told me that I would need to have surgery, due to the fact of just extra skin. I visited Dr Cohen office in July for a consultation. By August 22 I was in surgery. She took her time an explained everything to me , down to where they were cutting and how long surgery should be. It is now October, and I still visit with her office at least every two weeks. Dr Cohen's staff is amazing and helpful. They are truly a team. They make you feel welcome, every time you visit. If you need any plastic surgery. She is the best!!!!

Exceptional Physician and Surgeon
In addition to being a wonderful doctor, Dr. Cohen is the most compassionate physician that I have ever met. From my first appointment through completion of my care, I wouldn't change a thing. She put me at ease right away; I cannot say enough about how happy I am that I found Dr. Cohen.

Dr. Cohen’s bedside manner, her compassion, and incredible knowledge was beyond belief! I could not have found a better surgeon for my needs. Her grace and concern for my well being throughout my surgery and post-surgery was so detailed - I never felt I could not reach out with questions! She was always available to me and her team were awesome! I highly recommend Dr. Cohen - she will truly take care of you beyond all your expectations!

Theeee Best !
Dr. Cohen performed my breast reconstruction and augmentation after undergoing a unilateral mastectomy on my left breast. She walked me through the entire process and was VERY thorough in explaining everything to the T. She is detail oriented, personable, extremely patient, meticulous and truly cares about her clients. A total sweetheart. If you’re looking for a doctor that will just do a surgery to get a paycheck, this is not the one for you. But if you’re looking for a doctor who takes into consideration your body shape, your lifestyle, etc. she’s the one. She doesn’t do it for the sake of money, she takes note of everything about you. A very personal approach. I highly recommend Dr. Cohen.

Wonderful doctor!
Couldn’t have had a better result from my breast reconstruction surgery. More importantly, the entire team there is amazing. They seem to genuinely care about you and help put you more at ease after a breast cancer diagnosis. Dr. Cohen spends lots of time with you to make sure you have all information you need and never felt rushed with her.

I can't say enough about Dr. Cohen and her entire staff. She is a compassionate doctor who takes the time to answer all your questions and addresses any concerns you may have. I felt like she (and her staff) cared for me as one would care for a family member. You can't get any better than that!

Amazing Surgeon!
Dr. Cohen came into my life at what was the lowest point. I had been diagnosed with breast cancer, needed a complete mastectomy and reconstruction. She was highly recommended and didn't disappoint. She patiently walked me through every step of the procedures and made sure I was comfortable with everything needed to be done. I was having a hard time focusing on the future and she made me feel like I wasn't alone throughout the whole process. Her entire staff exudes compassion and positivity on a daily basis and I would definitely recommend Dr. Cohen to anyone needing a plastic surgeon.

Will not be using her as my plastic surgeon.
Terrible. I went to Dr. Cohen for breast reconstruction. My first visit with her, I felt comfortable, however, the second meeting had me in tears. She told me that she would be able to perform my reconstruction a certain way on the first visit. The second visit she stated that she never said that and it wasn't in her notes. As I cried, she sat there and starred at me. She also told me that I could go and seek another plastic surgeon's opinion. I did! I would never recommend her to anyone because I felt that she lied and or couldn't admit that she had previously stated something different.

Liposuction SUCCESS
Dr Cohen and her team take the best care of you from 1st appointment through final check up. Aftercare is just as important to her as the procedure. I'm thrilled with my liposuction results!! Through Dr Cohen, the hospital experience was just as professional - they obviously think highly of her! She also is a filler injection genius.

My experience with Dr. Cohen and her staff was very positive. She and her team are incredibly knowledgeable and very helpful. I underwent major surgery with her team and was nervous with a lot of questions. They took the time to answer all questions and offer opinions/guidance where needed. With their help, I feel confident in the decisions I made for myself. Dr. Cohen is meticulous with her work and was able to correct my numerous asymmetries with astounding results. She and her team were supportive throughout the entire process. Cohen's office is a warm, welcoming environment and I would recommend this team for anyone looking to have cosmetic surgery.
