I fractured my Left Ring Finger February 2008. I practice cardiology at the same hospital Dr. Cohen works in. I know little about hands so I consulted with orthopedic surgeons and anesthesiologists (they watch everyone’s surgeries and they know the best doctors) to find out whom I should have treat my hand. The answer was always Dr. Glenn Cohen. I met him and knew immediately why all the other doctors referred to him. Not only is he a skilled physician and surgeon but he also comforted me with his wonderful bedside manner. After my surgery I healed so rapidly and so perfectly I could not believe it. I am so thankful for his many gifts.

Cardiologist Thousand Oaks

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for the fine care you have rendered to me recently. Your fine care and professional manner, as well as that of your staff, is much appreciated and is very comforting. As I am sure you know as well or better than anybody else, acute hand trauma for a surgeon can be unnerving to say the least. Fortunately your confidence is contagious. Thanks again for all you do.
Very Sincerely Yours,

As a pediatrician, I refer my patients with hand issues to Glenn D. Cohen, M.D. Not only does he do a superb job technically with them, but he and his staff are caring and efficient. I speak from experience since I’ve seen Dr. Cohen as a patient myself, as well!

John, an officer with the California Highway Patrol sustained a gunshot wound to his hand and feared he might lose the use of his hand. He was very concerned and thought this might end his career. He has since made a full recovery is back patrolling the highways with disability. Hear John’s story about his gunshot wound (and see the before and after pictures).

It has been about six weeks since you performed surgery on my finger. I wanted to just drop you a short note to thank you, and your staff for a job very well done. From the first visit to your office where you identified the problem, through the surgery and the post-operative care, you and the staff were really great to deal with. I was comforted by your accessibility and patience with my endless questions. The staff took care of everything very effectively, including insurance matters, scheduling matters, calling in prescriptions to the pharmacy that I use, and diligently following-up with me during the post-operative period. I would not hesitate to, and actually have referred other patients to you. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,

Just a quick note to thank you both for being so kind to me. Before I met you guys I had been blown off by a handful of doctors who didn't want to take the time to figure out the problem and help me find a solution. You saw my pain/frustration/sadness and acknowledged it and jumped in to help. I see Dr. Itamura on September 30th and I have high hopes. Thank you for your compassion.

Jeremy, a Los Angeles firefighter from Newbury Park, CA had a severed tendon in his pinky finger requiring surgery and physical therapy.

When seeing a physician for a specific injury I wanted to make sure that the doctor I saw is board certified and specialized in that particular orthopedic problem. Dr. Glenn Cohen was personal, professional and accommodating to my specific orthopedic injury. I would highly recommend Dr. Glenn Cohen for any hand specific orthopedic problem.

Physical Therapist

After transecting my tendon last year, the ER Doctor remarked that Dr. Cohen was the specialist I needed to see. He was right. While Dr. Cohen is a very intelligent physician, well versed in current medical/surgical methods he has an excellent bedside manner. This kind of physician is in short supply today. He saw to it that I was comfortable before, during and after the procedure. I highly recommend him to friends and colleagues alike.

Michael from Santa Rosa Valley had finger surgery that went very well. He is very pleased with Dr. Cohen and his office staff and highly recommends them. Listen as he tells his story:

Over the past few years I have been going to Dr. Cohen for several wrist problems. He was a very kind, straight forward and honest physician. He always tried the conservative treatments first and saved surgery as a last resort. When it came time to do an extreme surgery on my arm, he encouraged me to get a second opinion to make sure there weren’t any other conservative treatments that could be done. Both Dr. Cohen and his staff were always available, whether over the phone or in the office, in any emergency situation. His staff was very friendly and always willing to help with any questions. Thank you for everything that you have done to make my wrist feel better.

Words can‘t express our positive experience(s) at your office. Normally, to end up in an orthopedic surgeon’s office would not go in the same sentence with pleasure, but you prove otherwise.

Friendly, warm, caring, professional are just the few adjectives that pop in my mind. Both of my children speak of you with love, they actually enjoy to stop by with me at my vitamin shopping visits just to say hi – you really are an extraordinary person. We need more physicians like you!

Thank you so much for everything you do,

Listen as he talks more about his experience:

Thank you so much for healing my wrist and helping me during the recovery process. As the new year looms in front of us bringing new opportunities, and a clean slate with it, I am reminded of all the dumb things I did in the past year. I can tell you, with absolute certainty, that breaking my wrist while skateboarding was the dumbest thing I could do and possibly the dumbest thing I have ever done. The way you seized control fo the situation and offered helpful advice and simple, knowledgeable explanations along every part of the healing process leads me to seriously think of becoming an orthopedist in life. Your healing skills and inspiration are truly remarkable and I thank you for that.

The skateboard you autographed is now hanging on my wall next to the last cast I wore as part of the healing process and everyone asks who signed the skateboard.
May you have zen in 2010!!

A much overdue thank you. Last March my son injured his hand in a motorcycle accident. I had been your patient the year before and was thrilled with your work. I called you on a Saturday and you were kind enough to return my call and refer us to Dr. Enass Rickards. I knew anyone you would refer us to would do excellent work. I am pleased to say we have not been disappointed. My son has had an excellent recovery and I wanted to thank you for your part in his recovery. You are an outstanding M.D. and person.
Sincerely,

Michelle's 10 year old son Shafer was treated by Dr. Cohen when he crushed, lacerated and severed the tip of his index finger. For weeks she was continually told by other doctor's that her son's finger needed to be amputated. Uncomfortable with the prognosis, she spent many hours researching and during that time continually found Dr. Cohen's website. She made an appointment with his office and after looking at her son's injury, he felt it was treatable. Dr. Cohen was extrememly confident and for the first time since her son's injury, she felt they were in the right place. They made the decision to go outside their insurance plan to give their son the best medical help possible. Prior to the surgery, Dr. Cohen was forthcoming and honest about what could happen. She feels that Dr. Cohen is a physician she will never hesitate to use and recommend. They feel blessed and feel that without the help of Dr. Cohen, their son would not have his finger today. Listen below as she tells their story:

New Hall, CA

I fractured my wrist last winter while snowboarding and was told at the ER that I would need surgery due to the complexity and location of the break. We were determined to find the best surgeon around, with all signs pointing to Dr. Cohen. It was clear upon my first meeting with Dr. Cohen that there would be no need to look elsewhere. His confidence, expertise, efficiency, and charming comportment turned a distressing situation into a much more positive experience. He pays impeccable attention to detail and is a gifted and humble surgeon. After spending a year in and out of Dr. Cohen’s office and operating room, he has earned my complete trust and admiration. Both he and his staff are caring, reliable, personable, and professional, and make coming in for a visit a stress-free task. I offer my sincere gratitude for all the care I have received.

David was involved in an auto accident where he sustained a severe injury to his left hand. He had almost completely severed his index finger and had deep lacerations to the palm of his hand. David met Dr. Cohen in the emergency room and thought he was going to lose his index finger or worse his hand. Dr. Cohen felt he could save is finger and hand and took him to surgery to try and repair it. Today David has full use of his hand His scars are almost invisible and is playing the guitar again. Hear David talk about his injury (and see the before and after pictures).

Prosser Family

Cheryl of Oak Park, CA visited Dr. Cohen after her son was diagnosed with skier's thumb. Another doctor recommended surgery for a torn ligament, so she asked for a second opinion. Dr. Cohen believed the ligament was not torn and surgery was not his recommendation. Dr. Cohen diagnosed the problem immediately and treated her son with a cast. With Dr. Cohen's care, her son is playing sports and enjoying activities again.

Dr. Cohen was attentive, personable and spent extra time explaining my circumstances. I especially appreciate his thoroughness in doing his own x-rays and catching the existence of bacteria which emergency room had missed. I am moved by the happiness of the office staff and atmosphere. Mostly, I am grateful that such quality care was available to me. Thank you! Thank you!

Jay is a motorcycle police officer who was involved in a traffic accident and was ejected from his motorcycle. Jay fractured his left wrist and had surgery with another doctor. Jay’s recovery was slow and noticed during a doctor’s visit that the screws in his left wrist were loosening and backing out of the bone. Jay was referred by his case manager to Dr. Cohen who evaluated his wrist and felt the screws were endangering the nerve in his wrist and felt he needed immediate surgery to remove the screws. Dr. Cohen performed the surgery to remove the screws. Jay’s recovery was remarkably quick and was able to return to work as a motorcycle police officer. Hear Jay tell his story.

Dear Dr. Cohen & Staff,
I want to express my gratitude for all you did for me while I was here visiting. I was very uncomfortable for 2 days and didn’t know what to do.

I recently scheduled an appointment with Dr. Cohen for a consultation regarding a condition in my right hand. The front office staff was courteous and helpful. My initial consultation by Dr. Cohen was very thorough with Dr. Cohen explaining to me exactly what my condition was and what treatment options were available, As it turned out the most appropriate treatment for me was a surgical procedure. The type of surgery needed was thoroughly explained to me by Dr. Cohen.
Additionally, Dr. Cohen reviewed in detail what I should expect during the post operative recovery period.

Follow-up care by Dr. Cohen and his nursing staff was thorough and professional. The post-operative care was just as comprehensive and professional as was the pre-operative care. Following a course of physical therapy with a certified hand therapist I am very pleased and happy with the outcome of my treatment.

On both occasions she received friendly and professional care and her questions were thoroughly answered. Listen as she talks about her experience.

The best part about the office is Dr. Cohen and his staff. He seems like the best and he has a great rapport with his patients.

Everyone is confident and competent. The results were my favorite part of the office. Jo is fun and friendly; beyond what is “required” for the job. She genuinely cares about patients and this comes across in the great treatment she gives patients.

Sue from Simi Valley, CA had a great experience with Dr. Cohen and her wrist is healing nicely.

I love the personal care in the office! It was nice to always be known by name, as there has to be a lot of patients, so it felt VERY personal. Dr. Cohen made me feel so comfortable and Jo always spent time with me without feeling rushed.

Craig was impressed by Dr. Cohen's many credits in the orthopedic field. After suffering a power tool accident, Dr. Cohen operated on Craig's right index finger to repair the damage. He feels Dr. Cohen is a superb choice and is happy to report that his recovery is going well after a short time. Hear Craig's story below.

I asked several nurse friends who was the best doctor for hand problems-they all said Dr. Cohen! I loved the cleanliness of the office, the nice staff and not having to wait too long for the doctor.

Patricia was referred to Dr. Cohen for pain and tingling in both arms and hands after long time use of a cane.

After starting Patricia on natural anti-inflammatory supplements she is pain free and overall a healthier person. Hear Patricia talk about her story.

Dr. Cohen,
My father told me that he ran into you recently. He told me you not only remembered him but that you remembered me by name and asked how I was doing. I must say I was really taken by that. You are truly compassionate doctor to remember a patient by name that you only met once and to ask about her. Thank you for caring enough to inquire about my health.

The 2nd opinion that you recommended was a Godsend to me. After 4 years and 10 surgeries I wasn’t sure if I would ever get to the place I am now, where I really know I am going to recover and live a normal life. You played a part in my healing process by instilling such confidence in my father and I that we had made the right choice with the doctor you referred to me. Thank you for your candor and your honesty.
Sincerely,

We first met Dr. Cohen when we discovered a lump on the top of my son’s hand. It turned out that he had a rare tumor that was both inside and outside of the bone. Our experience with Dr. Cohen could not have been better.

I have no doubt that Dr. Cohen has treated my son as if he were his own, and continues to do so. At every appointment Dr. Cohen gives his full attention, and has always explored every option available before making decisions on the best course to follow. His bedside manner, so important with young children, could not have been better. With warmth and care, he explained to my son what to expect every step of the way.

I highly recommend Dr. Cohen to anyone seeking out to the very best hand surgeon!

Dear Dr. Cohen-
How can I ever thank you enough? I have had several various wrist problems for years. You had come to me highly recommended and although you weren't covered on my insurance plan, I decided to pay you a visit. Would this Dr. finally be able to help me and give me a suggestion?

In the past 10 years, I have had many orthopedic surgeries- 6 on my wrists and 2 on my knees. During my initial consultation, you instantly shook your head and said that something just isn't right here and that this wasn't normal- having this many surgeries as well as the "Euflexxa" injections in my knees at only 32 years old. Never once had a doctor told me that something was just a little off about this whole situation. Yes- they would try to help me and take care of the pain, but no one has ever tried to get to the bottom of the problem.

Dr. Cohen suggested that I see Dr. Dequet, a local Rheumatologist. After a consultation with Dr. Dequet, many tests, blood work and x-rays later, I have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. We are in the process of trying to find the right medicaton combination that works for me- to help ease my daily pain and stop the progressive destruction of my joints. I also have piece of mind know knowing that there really is something that is causing my pain- it is not just in my head or that I am being a hypochondriac. For years I have always had pain- however I would never say anything because there was no reason for me to be in pain. I can say something now, and stop when I need to stop doing stuff because I don't feel "looney" anymore!

Dr. Cohen- you have helped me tremendously- all within the span of a 30 minute consultation. I can't thank you enough for even sugessting to me that I needed to see a rheumatologist. As Dr. Dequet says, I don't need a hand surgeon right now, I need a rheumatologist- but if I ever do need a hand surgeon again, I will surely be seeing you. No matter what money issues are at the time, it is worth paying the extra money (as you are not a prefered provider on my insurance) for the piece of mind seeing you. I have all the trust in the world for you and respect you more than I could ever let you know

Craig from Thousand Oaks was involved in a mountain bike accident and broke the scafoid bone in his right hand. He had the option of wearing a cast for three months or having surgery. He chose to have surgery to fuse the bone back together. Listen as Craig talks about his experience.

I was introduced to Dr. Glenn Cohen and staff after being involved in a physical altercation while arresting a combative person. As a police officer I rely on my dominant right hand so when I fractured my right hand many thoughts went through my head specifically, being medically retired and not being able to to do the job that I love. When I arrived at Dr. Cohen’s office, I met some of the most dedicated personnel who made me feel comfortable in that I would be returning to police work. One of the most memorable moments was when Jo had to wrap my cast in USC colors, per Dr. Cohen! If you need a great hand surgeon I highly recommend the Cohen family. Thanks for taking care of me and allowing me to have fun once again.

The thing I liked best about the practice was Jo she was always friendly and encouraging. I also loved the new office.

Gladys of Tarzana injured her wrist playing tennis. She first visited another doctor and surgery was immediately recommended. She was uncomfortable with this diagnosis, so she visited Dr. Cohen for a second opinion. Gladys was impressed with Dr. Cohen's approach because he recommended options that avoided surgery. After therapy and other treatment options, she is on her way to recovery after just one month. Listen as she talks about her experience.

Myrna from Simi Valley was dealing with a growth on her hand at the base of her little finger. She was advised by another Doctor that surgery was the only option, so she visited Dr. Cohen as a second opinion. Dr. Cohen diagnosed her with a gangline cyst and offered aspiration as an option. Therapy was recommended after the aspiration and six weeks later she was doing great. In addition to taking care of the cyst, he helped with arthritis at the base of her thumb. She highly recommends Dr. Cohen and his staff and can't thank them enough! Hear her recorded testimonial below.

Dr Cohen treated me for a hand broken as a result of a sports injury. He asked all of the right questions, and performed the right tests to precisely diagnose the break. Dr Cohen uses the latest in radiological technology. Seeing the results real time means you do not have to perform extra or excessive x-rays. It also means you have better information to fix the problem. He treated the break and got me connected to the right physical therapy folks, following up to ensure all was progressing appropriately. Dr Cohen is a true professional and one of the premier hand specialists in the country. He has built a great staff and runs an outstanding practice. I could not recommend him more highly.

Karen from Newbury Park is very happy with the care her 15 year old son received from Dr. Cohen and his staff. Her son broke the radius bone of his forearm in January 2009. Although the break was very bad, with the expertise of Dr. Cohen they were able to avoid surgery which was very important to them. She is very thankful for Dr. Cohen and his entire office staff and appreciates the care and dedication her son received. Hear her recorded testimonial below.

Dr Cohen was remarkable with my daughter. Even when I could not pay the full amount, he cared more for her well being. Everyone was very polite and caring. They were very professional with a kindness when dealing with a scared mother.

Karen from Moorpark, CA had surgery in January 2009 with another doctor for a distal radius fracture. The surgery was not a success and her bones were misaligned. In great pain and unhappy with the results, she asked around for referrals to another doctor. She was given Dr. Cohen's name from multiple sources and visited with him for a consultation. Dr. Cohen decided that another surgery would be required and she agreed to the surgery. She is very pleased with the results and happy to report that after her surgery with Dr. Cohen her hand is now just about perfect . She highly recommends Dr. Cohen and his staff. Listen as she tells about her experience.

Margaret from Newbury Park had a cyst and tumor on her hand. Dr. Cohen performed surgery to remove the cyst and she is very happy with the results.
