Graduating cum laude from Dartmouth College, Dr. Cohen went on to the Dartmouth-Brown Combined medical program where he graduated in the top ten percent of his class. He completed his general surgery internship at the New York Hospital, and his Orthopaedic surgery residency at the prestigious Hospital for Special Surgery at Cornell University Medical Center in New York. He then studied under the distinguished shoulder surgeon Professor Christian Gerber in Zurich, Switzerland where he gained experience in the management of complex shoulder problems as a traveling fellow.

Following his year as Chief Resident, he was selected for an additional year of training in the Sports Medicine and Shoulder Reconstruction Fellowship at the Hospital for Special Surgery under Russell Warren, M.D., Head Team Physician for the New York Giants football team. During this fellowship, Dr. Cohen learned the most advanced techniques in non-surgical and minimally invasive surgical management of knee and shoulder disorders as well as sports-related injuries.

Dr. Cohen’s surgical interests include the all-arthroscopic management of rotator-cuff disease, dislocations, and labral tears of the shoulder; total shoulder replacement for arthritis; knee arthroscopy for meniscal tears, ligament ruptures, instability, and cartilage injuries; total knee replacement for arthritis; treatment of ligament and tendon disorders of the elbow and ankle. Whenever possible, Dr. Cohen is a strong proponent of non-surgical management and rehabilitation of these injuries.

Dr. Cohen is the author of multiple peer-reviewed research articles and book chapters on knee and shoulder pathology. His research has examined healing after rotator-cuff surgery, Anterior Cruciate Ligament graft orientation, knee osteochondral allografts, and the outcomes of arthroscopic labral repair in the athlete’s shoulder. He has presented his research at national and international meetings, been a member of the faculty at professional education courses, and lectured extensively at Yale-New Haven Hospital, The Hospital For Special Surgery, and Cornell University Medical Center.
