• MUST READ BEFORE USING COHEN VET CLINIC:
I have been taking my 2 dogs & cat to Dr. Cohen since 2013. At first, I decided to overlook this vet's incompetence. For example, I paid for a teeth cleaning and when I got home, I noticed there was still very apparent tartar on multiple teeth on one side. I showed Dr. Cohen my dog's teeth the next day. Dr. Cohen's solution to this problem was to get out his instruments and try to scrape the tartar off his teeth while my dog was AWAKE! Do I really want to traumatize my dog this way? No offer of a partial refund. No offer to re-do the cleaning the correct way. Therefore, I asked Dr. Cohen if he would sell me a prescription de-wormer med for my cat who he has NEVER SEEN. Dr. Cohen agreed and sold me the prescription that day. Since then, I have paid Cohen a lot of money to treat all my pets. Last year, my cat had a swollen stomach with vomiting. I paid hundreds of dollars for tests/treatments. No results. My cat is still sick. On 6-30-18 Cohen saw my old dog and he sold me a few pills of Previcox to try for his bad arthritis/pain. Cohen said if the pills worked, he would sell me more. Cohen couldn't draw blood from my dog on a Saturday, so I came back on 7-2-18 and did the routine blood test to check basic levels and his thyroid. After reviewing the blood results, at first, Dr. Cohen told me to INCREASE my dog's thyroid meds. A few minutes later, Cohen changed his mind and advised me to keep my dog on the SAME DOSE of thyroid medication (do NOT increase the thyroid med) although my dog's blood results showed his thyroid levels were LOW (Cohen said the blood results were NOT accurate because I should have withheld giving my dog his regular daily dose of thyroid meds until AFTER the blood had been drawn). Why did I pay a lot of money to have a blood test which couldn't produce accurate results? Why didn't someone instruct me (before the blood was drawn) to delay giving my dog his regular thyroid medicine until AFTER the blood draw? My dog has suffered greatly because Dr. Cohen lacks the basic skills necessary to diagnose/treat simple conditions (arthritis/thyroid) and Cohen lacks the skills necessary to communicate with a Pet's owner. Cohen collected money for lab work and then disregarded the lab results. Cohen told me I could get a refill on the arthritis medication, and then 6 months later, I was told by the lady in the office I would NOT be given the prescription unless I paid for another office visit. The office staff then mailed me a copy of all my pet's medical records (including a deceased pet's records). I questioned this action and called to speak to Dr. Cohen to resolve the problem. However, the office staff told me Dr. Cohen would NOT return my call, and the office staff told me I would NOT be their customer any longer (the office lady told me Cohen would NOT treat ANY of my pets in the future and Cohen would NOT call me to discuss the problem). Allan Cohen is clearly incompetent as a vet AND as a business owner. If you decide to use Cohen your pet WILL SUFFER, you will be writing a bad review about Cohen's lack of basic vet skills, and Allan Cohen will be laughing all the way to the bank as he deposits your hard-earned money into his bank account.
