Fabulous Podiatrist
Dr Cohn is very knowledgeable and takes the time to figure out your diagnosis. He explains everything well and even calls you personally with results. The practice is easy to make an appointment with and I didn't have to wait 3 months to get it like most of the other doctors.

After 4.5 years finally pain free
I had my 3rd foot surgery (in 3 years) with Dr. Cohn. He was the 3rd doctor I had seen as well. I had told him I was ready to give up and cut my foot off because no one could make the pain go away and make it better. He had removed the screws I had in and did a trial of gel to help regrow my bones. Well after just 3 months post-op I finally have no pain. My hopes were not high after dealing with this for so long but I was so happy and will recommend First Step Foot Care to any in the future.

Dr. Cohn review
Dr. Cohn is very friendly and personable. He explains what is going to happen during the appointment. He takes his time with the patient and they don’t feel rushed. And he personally called me after the surgery!

Dr Cohn always puts his patients needs first. I have had issues with my foot for many years. Dr Cohn came up with a procedure that would be less invasive and I would be up and about in no time. He talks to his patients like friends, not numbers.I’m so happy that after several previous surgeries, Dr Cohns Procedure straightened my toes! And I am walking without a limp. Dr Cohn not only cares about your podiatry needs, he cares your overall wellbeing. I can’t say enough about the staff and Dr Cohn. I have referred friends and colleagues to see them.

Your feet will be in great hands with Dr. Cohn!
I had foot surgery with Dr. Cohn and he was awesome from start to finish. He was punctual for every appointment and was so easy to talk to. I was comfortable with him and his abilities from pre-surgery, to day of surgery and after. I knew I made the right choice of surgeons when the nurses at the hospital where I was having my procedure told me he was their favorite doctor! He’s mine now too! If surgery can be a breeze, mine really was, thanks to Dr. Cohn!

Back Running Again!
After avoiding my foot pain for 5 years I’m so glad I came to see Dr. Cohn. He listened to my ailments and what I was hoping for out of a solution. He explained he decision making process and throughout the whole process I felt as though he always kept my interests as the foundation for his care. In the end he opted for a more conservative treatment and I’m so glad he did. Two weeks post cheilectomy I was back in a regular shoe and one month post-op, I am BACK RUNNING, with more mobility than I could have hoped for. If you are like me and have been avoiding seeing the podiatrist, take this as your sign to schedule and appointment with Dr. Cohn. You won’t regret it!

Great Podiatrist
Dr Cohn is great at explaining procedures, why he feels they will help, and how they work for recovery. He offered me multiple treatments for plantar fasciitis and I felt capable of making a well informed decision.

Knowledgeable, Experienced and Caring
I've been seeing Dr Cohn for 5 years now. He is my favorite doctor! When I first became a patient of Dr. Cohn's, I could barely walk. I had tried steroid shots and wearing a boot for eight (not 6) weeks and physical therapy. Nothing resolved my issue, just a Band-Aid fix. Then, he recommended I get stem cell (placenta) injections and do hydroblast therapy. Within one week I noticed a huge difference!! And after 2 weeks I was mobile again!! It truly was miraculous!! I trust Dr.Cohn implicitly with my foot care! I would recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced, competent, compassionate podiatrist! He's the best!!

Healed
I spent the past 5 years in pain on and off. I have seen multiple physicians and all have diagnosed me with plantar fasciitis, yet none have helped. That is until I met Dr. Cohn. He is obviously very knowledgeable and happy with his profession, has a calming and comforting demeanor, and maintains a very state of the art and clean office. There is ultrasound, MRI, laser therapy, and XR all in the office. It's been 2 years since that appointment and I am still pain free.

Trust Your Feet to Dr. Cohn
Dr. Cohn surgically corrected my Morton’s Neuroma during the pandemic and I’m now pain free. He also took care of me during a bad sprained ankle and even steered me to some over-the-counter orthotics since my pronation isn’t too bad. Highly recommend!

Awesome Experience
Dr Cohn is very personable and very knowledgeable. Had a lot of pain in both ankles for years. Dr Cohn explained in layman terms how he could reconstruct my ankles and relieve my pain. He was very knowledgeable and kept me informed of the latest techniques that he would apply to my surgery. Upon completion of surgery and rehab, I was ready for Dr Cohn to do the other ankle. I was amazed that both surgeries were pain free from beginning to end. Thank you Dr Cohn! Best thing I’ve ever done for myself.
