At our first meeting, Lillian Cohn, was the Medical Director of one of the City of Philadelphia’s Health Care Centers. I was working as a Registered Nurse at the time.
Impressed with her “bedside manner” and on the recommendation of a good friend; when I needed a primary care physician, I contacted Dr. Cohn.
By this time Dr. Cohn was in private practice and I was relieved to note… See more
Dr. Lillian Cohn years ago astutely noticed from a simple urine test that my calcium uptake was abnormal. She sent me to. an endocrinologist, who, after scans, did surgery and discovered that I had an extra parathyroid gland that had gone bonkers. Calcium was being leached from my bones. I am grateful to Dr Cohn for being so observant. Today I am a strong, athletic 78-year-old who continues to… See more
My husband and I have been under the care of Lillian Cohn in Philadelphia for the past 2 years. When we made the change to a MDVIP physician, our specific goals were to consolidate our doctors into one medical network, find a physician who listens to our concerns and makes appropriate recommendations to specialists in addition to being responsive. Dr.Cohn has been all these things to us.… See more
I have known Dr. Lillian Cohn for several years - when neither of us had grey hair! She is knowledgeable, always available and compassionate but also maintains standards of health and has never pampered me. (That's a good thing!) There are two situations that stand out in the history of my relationship with her. The first is when I got breast cancer. She was with me every step of the… See more
I am relatively new to the VIP program and so I am in the "getting to know my doctor" phase of treatment. This is my second year with Dr. Cohn, after my family doctor of approximately 35 years, retired. Adjustment and change can be difficult but, Dr. Cohn has made it quite easy. I think the most memorable moment was when I shared my family history with her, which was quite… See more

In 2009 I came to this city and was having a heck of a problem finding a good Internal MD.. I found Dr. Woodland,wonderful GYN and he encouraged me to find Dr. Cohn. Anyway,I did track her down and fortunately was able to sign on to MDVIP and found her to be just what I had hoped for my Mom! I convinced her to take her on also even though she was not taking on new patients( I got in just under… See more
A colleague of mine was kind enough to suggest I see her doctor when I was searching for a GP. That doctor was Lillian Cohn and its been 32 years since that first visit. I am very grateful to my colleague for that introduction. It is rare to say that you trust someone totally but I can say that without hesitation about Dr. Cohn. From the minor concerns to the major health issues I've faced she… See more
Dr. Cohn is a wonderful doctor. She works long hours and is very caring and concerned for her patients. She has been my doctor for well over 30 years. When she joined MDVIP I signed up so she could remain my doctor. I hope she will continue to practice medicine for a long time. She is a very special person
Dr. Lillian Cohn sees me a whole patient, not just looking at whatever health issue i go to see her about. Shortly after i started to see her, i had a few episodes of vertigo. I appreciated how she coordinated the various specialists i saw: sometimes making referrrals, sometimes interpreting what specialists said, sometimes providing me with questions to ask them. She has done that over and… See more
