He is extremely knowledgeable on his subject, uses the latest technology, and is very specific and precise about his views and recommendations. His demeanor is calm and reassuring; for example, he always sits down next to me during an office visit instead of standing in front of me and speaking down (in more than one way, as most physicians seem to do without being aware of it). Several times I was concerned about something, but he convinced me the best course of action was watchful waiting. He certainly is not looking to do marginally useful procedures. Since I'm still alive and feel great now, I have to assume he's doing his job very well. He doesn't show a whole lot of warmth and sympathy, rather he is quite analytical and factual. Personally, I prefer it that way, and from other things he's said, I know he does feel a lot for everybody in his life.
Description of Work: Dr. Cohen has cared for my heart for several years. When I had a heart attack a year ago, he was there to see me after the emergency staff had done their job. When I thought I had another heart attack a few months later, he was there again to tell me it was just gastric reflux.

Dr. Karen White is a wonderful OBGYN. She provided care for me during both of my pregnancies and I couldn't have been happier with her services. She is great at communicating, answered my questions fully and respectfully, I never felt rushed, and most importantly I felt like she truly cared. I recommend her to anyone I know who is looking for an OBGYN and will continue to use her for future pregnancies and OBGYN needs.

He is a teacher for other heart surgeons. He has written a book and has his own website. If anyone is in need of a specialist, he is the one to choose. He is recommended by Doctors for someone who might have a problem. He is very personable and explained everything to me. For all he has done, he is not pretentious at all. I felt very comfortable with him. He was very punctual and on time. His secretary is very nice as well.

They day of the appointment they called me and cancelled saying that the doctor had an emergency surgery and they couldn’t offer another apt for another 2-3 months. I was definitely displeased with that. They did offered me an alternative of an appointment with a nurse practitioners within the practice. I feel confident in the service they provided for me.

He always recognizes me. He always remembers things. He takes his time. He does not make you feel pushed or rushed. He answers everything thoroughly. He follows up on everything. You can call him after hours if somethings comes up. He is probably the best doctor I have ever seen. My whole family sees him.

I saw Dr Aigen to treat prostate cancer, in initial stage. He recommended surgery, with the DA Vinchi robot.The surgery was a total disaster. He left all the cancer inside, exposed. What makes it even worse, is that he was not forthcoming with the surgery blunder, and I found out about it 3 months after the fact. Don't ever go to dr Aigen for prostate cancer treatment. It make cost you your life, just like the price I am paying now. He destroyed my life.I will be happy to share more details.

I've known Dr. Allen since early 1980's. Being a nurse has provided me the opportunity to see his excellent work first hand. As soon as I found out that I would need surgery, I knew Dr. Allen was the surgeon for me. There are other excellent surgeons in his group, but since I've known him the longest and have worked with him the most, I wanted him for my surgeon. I couldn't be happier with the surgery or the outcome. I would highly recommend Dr. Allen if you need a surgeon.
Description of Work: I am a Registered Nurse and needed to have surgery on my thyroid.
