Dr. Cohn was very professional and friendly. He went over my records with me and truly listened to what I was saying. He wanted to know exactly why I was coming in today and what had changed or did not change from my previous appointment. We discussed medication's And where I would go from here. We also talked about the future of any procedure. Scheduled a procedure for next March. He let me know that I should contact him if I had any further issue before I would see him next year. It was nice to have him escort me to the exit rises. I'm just walk out of the office and have me find my way out. He is extremely knowledgeable about his Profession.

Dr. Cohn is fantastic! He really listens to and takes one's wishes and hopes under consideration and agreed to "try" to do my colonoscopy with me awake. He is extremely thorough and very reassuring. We covered a lot of information and he is very patient and never makes you feel rushed. I'm so happy to have been referred to him because he came very highly recommended by 2 of my friends. I'm looking forward to my colonoscopy!

Disclosures

Aaron Cohn, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
