Dr. Kofi Boahene, MD

Dr. Boahene is no doubt a kind and gentle doctor with great bedside manner. His prices are better than many of the Beverly Hills and Tysons Corner doctors, so he was what I could afford. However, on my visit to him pre-op a patient was upset as she walked out complaining that she didn't like her results. I should have taken the hint. I went to him and had a procedure that is what I asked for BUT left me with a droop and so my nose hangs down lower because it's not supported enough. Droops are a result of surgical skill and how the doctor closes up the nose. Which means it was the doctor's job. However rather than offering to fix the droop he offered me another procedure at the same price I had already paid. So if you don't want to be in a position to pay him, to fix something, then you may want to not make your decision based on price and go with reputation of results... I thought I was getting a really great job, at a great price, but it has its downside, LITERALLY!

I feel that I must write this review, so others are able to make an informed decision when selecting a doctor for a procedure. My ordeal with Dr. Boahene began in 2020, I planned to improve breathing and remove the bump on my nose. I had 4 surgeries. After the first, my breathing improved. However, in terms of the look the bump remained, and the front of the nose collapsed. Dr. Boahene told me that he’ll put in cartilage to raise the nose which he had to do surgically. The second surgery was worse than the 1st. The cartilage was put in incorrectly, it stuck out and to make things worse he enlarged nostrils. To correct the position of the cartilage the procedure was done in the office under local anesthesia. I was able to see his work 1st hand. While in the middle of the procedure he ran out of the room several times to treat other patients. As a result he the bump remained with cartilage at the tip. Just in general when we discussed one thing to do he would do the complete opposite.

Worse Dr., he completely disfigured my nose. He performed 3 unnecessary surgeries. DO NOT GO TO HIM!!!

Dr. Boahene is incredible! I had a rare malignant tumor in my sinus and skull base (very close to my brain). Dr. Boahene save me and did so with the utmost professionalism. He took the time to explain what was going on, how he was going to address it, and what I could expect following the surgery. Here I am, 3 years later, alive because of Dr. Boahene!

After two and a half years of seeing doctor after doctor, and repeatedly being misdiagnosed, I went to Dr. Boahene. I knew immediately that he was different. I could see in his eyes that he truly cared about me as a patient. He not only knew what was really wrong with me, he performed a highly skilled surgery that gave me my life back.

Dr. Boahene is a brilliant surgeon. He worked with my otolaryngology surgeon to reconstruct my tongue /jaw after part of my mandible was removed (bone cancer). B/c he is in demand, yes you may wait to see him. Come prepared with questions, he'll answer all. He cares about finding right approach for best results. Tips: ask about recovery time, time off work, physical therapy (to reduce scar tissue), need O2 treatment presurgery? speech therapy? referrals for prothodentist (implants). JHH speech $

Dr. Boahene is the best! He is a compassionate doctor who took his time to answer our questions and put our minds at ease. We feel blessed to be under his care and have complete confidence. His work is immaculate!

Run from this guy. I flew across the country a few years back after having suffered paralysis from a tumor. I flew to JH and ultimately decided to go with Dr. Boahene. My white blood cell count was too low so, my surgeon did not give me the go ahead. I went about scheduling again around 8 mo later and this time the doctor cancelled and I never got a refund. His surgery coordinator was extremely unprofessional and caused unnecessary stress. Keep in mind, I had a brain tumor and a blood cancer!

I've been visiting Dr. Boahene for a few years now and he and his staff do care about his patients. He is very approachable and does a great job explaining the procedures prior. All concerns I had prior to my visit were always addressed in a compassionate manner. Karen, his assistant has always been very helpful and pleasant to deal with, when trying to co-ordinate an appointment. I would recommend Dr. Boahene to others who might be in need of his services. Call/email Karen as the first step!

My husband went to see Dr. Boahene recently with our young dtr (she was born with an ear malformation). My husband waited 45 min, and the Dr. only spent 5 minutes with them. He took a look at our daughter's ears, and told us surgery was the only option. She would have been an candidate for ear molding when she was younger, but no information was passed to us beforehand. Why are they not educating others about this?! There was no compassion from him. I work in healthcare and this is unacceptable.

Dr Boahene is helping my mom look like herself again. He is kind, caring and genuinely concerned with the patients wellbeing. He performed an eyelid surgery on her today after she had facial paralysis from brain surgery last week. This is the first step for my mom on her road to recovery and looking like herself again. I look forward to her future visits with him and seeing her full smile again someday.
