Dr. Cohen completed his anesthesia residency at Washington University in St. Louis, Barnes-Jewish Hospital. He then moved to Houston, Texas, and worked at St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital in the Texas Medical Center, as part of the Greater Houston Anesthesiology group. From Houston, Dr. Cohen settled in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he joined a private practice group at Holy Cross Hospital. In this practice, he led multiple initiatives with a multidisciplinary approach and a focus on patient safety and improved outcomes. His work at the local level allowed him to help develop and lead educational programs on the national level with the company, Mednax.
Dr. Cohen’s passion for the continuous improvement in perioperative medicine and pain control lead him to his current anesthesia position. He accepted the unique opportunity to start an anesthesia group for a new physician owned surgical hospital in Miami, Florida. This venture allowed him to create a group that embraces every aspect of what quality medicine and anesthesia should be, in a hospital that exemplifies individualized service and safety. His experience and participation in the creation and design of the hospital itself, provided him with a truly holistic and all-access view into the current medical landscape.
AMS is built on the same principles that Dr. Cohen has promoted throughout his career which are transparency, quality, safety and concierge service. Just as he is committed to his patients, he is committed to the clients of AMS as a colleague and resource for your practice’s safety and success.
