A Welcome Message To New Patients
We are committed to keeping our patients healthy. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." When you are hurt or have a problem you should attend to it as soon as possible, especially if you feel you have a fracture or an infection. Immediate treatment usually nips problems in the bud, preventing the need for extended care and extra doctor visits. It also can save you money because you are less likely to miss work days.
It is for this reason patient education is a big part of our practice. Dr. Cohen has written a Foot Care Manual which will be published soon. It is a layman's guide to foot and ankle care. Dr. Cohen has written over 100 articles on foot and ankle care. Please consult the reception room directory for copies and a list of these articles.
Dr. Cohen also provides free community service programs. Some of these programs include gait analysis (walking habits) and foot screenings. Please see our office manager if you or your organization are interested in these services.
Patient Scheduling
Patients with emergency problems and patients with sports related injuries are scheduled immediately. New patients with general concerns are seen within 72 hours or sooner. Please mention to the receptionist if you have a sports related injury.
Weekend coverage is available and Dr. Cohen or his associate is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Dr. Cohen also has 6 surgical residents who can help follow your emergency care. For emergencies call our office at 610-522-9200.
Your Appointment
We realize that your time is valuable and we will make every effort to limit your stay in the reception area to a minimum. Occasionally, emergency patients may take longer than we expect, which could delay your appointment. Please bear with us during these times .
Thank You
Finally, we just wanted to thank you for choosing us to provide your foot and ankle care. We realize you can go anywhere, and chose us. We will work hard to maintain your confidence.
-- Dr. Lee Cohen
