This is the only time I've felt compelled to write a review. I've been dealing with knee pain for years and was honestly getting close to going through with a full knee replacement. I didn't think anything could really turn things around at this point, but after starting treatment with Dr. Cohen, I'm finally seeing real improvement. Not only is he a skilled doctor, he's genuinely a good man. He treats you with respect, takes the time to listen, and you can feel that same level of care from his entire team. His technicians and staff are professional , kind, and make the whole experience as comfortable as possible. Let's be honest, getting knee injections isn't exactly something you look forward to, but every time I leave, I'm walking easier and feeling better. That says everything. He's helped me more than I expected, and I'm truly grateful. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Cohen to anyone dealing with knee pain or arthritis conditions. Brett P. read more

My daughter has been a patient of Dr. Cohen's for many years. He, and his staff have consistently gone the extra mile in providing the best of care while taking a personal interest in her well being. Dr. Cohen has played a crucial and essential role in managing my daughter's various health challenges, and his knowledge of and affiliation with other medical professionals has been a bonus in keeping her as well as possible. There are few doctors who are as willing to make themselves personally available for consultation beyond the practice's regular business hours. I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Cohen. He is the standard by which all physicians should be measured. read more

Shariar Cohen, MD - Enjoying myself pain free! - Rheumatologists Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

After battling gout for years and bouncing between different doctors, I finally found Dr. Shariar Cohen through Yelp and I'm so glad I did.

Dr Cohen cares for me like family. He has been my rheumatologist and internist for about 15 years. After 35 years of dealing with RA I can confirm that no other doctor has ever cared for my health with such wisdom or concern. His extended care option most likely saved my life when I was put in the hospital with Covid in my lungs in 2023. read more

I highly recommend Dr Cohen who is incredibly knowledgeable and personable. I suffered terribly for 2 1/2 months. Within months I transformed from a healthy 76 year old man into an extremely ill nonfunctional 76 year old man. I was scarcely functioning and could not sleep or even dress myself. These complications affected my emotional health, physical actions and wellbeing. I was so grateful that my cardiologist recommended Dr. Cohen. On my first visit Dr. Cohen correctly diagnosed me with polymyalgia reheumatica. He also prescribed the correct medication. I am deeply indebted to Dr. Cohen for his professional service and kindness. Sincerely, Gary S. read more

I have been a patient with Dr. Cohen for nearly two decades. As a teenager living in constant pain I had the opportunity of meeting Dr. Cohen during his residency at a UCLA and he forever changed my life for the better. Dr. Cohen is a phenomenal physician whose goal is to make sure his patients are comfortable and well taken care of. It's hard to find a doctor who cares for their patients as deeply as he does. He has always been very thorough when it comes to speaking with his patients and helps me understand the symptoms and pain I am experiencing. He is so intelligent and always coming up with the new ways to ensure the absolute best care for his patients. Because of Dr. Cohen and his support we have found the right treatment for my autoimmune. I am fortunate to say I live with very minimal pain and can physically be a full time teacher on my feet all day with his care. Cohen medical centers is also filled with amazing and welcoming staff. Chance is so quick to respond to any questions I may have. Macie is always a great help. Victor greets you with a big smile on infusion days. And Carmella goes out of her way to make sure you are comfortable during infusions with cozy blankets and snacks! I have also been seen by the wonderful PA Maaya Ono. She's extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. I can't imagine being in better hands. I highly recommend Dr. Cohen and his medical center. read more

I have been dealing with extreme Psoriasis on my thumbs and fingers. I have seen dozens of dermatologist and several Rheumatologist over the past 15 years. I have had steroid injections and many steroid ointments with very little success. I was a commercial airline pilot and was on the verge of losing my FAA medical licence do to this condition. Dr. Cohen has been successfully treating me over the past several years and I now have complete movement of my fingers. From day one, Dr. Cohen brought professionalism, compassion, and deep expertise to the table. He took the time to really listen--something you don't always get in today's medical world.

I may be retired from the airlines, but staying active and enjoying life is still my mission--and he's made that possible. read more

I'm 73 and my body is like a used car. Dr Cohen keeps putting me back together and in good running order. I was reticent to fork out $200@ month for concierge care but in retrospect it has been a hugely wise investment. Let's see- hip replacement, cellulitis, back surgery, and going in for knee replacement soon. Dr Cohen's referrals had me cared for by surgeons who were so highly skilled, they weren't capable of taking any new patients. His referrals have taken a stye out of my eye, plantars warts and skin tags removed, and even toe nail fungus terminated along with all of the major surgeries. I visit the Dr 4 times a year for visco knee injections and a physical.He has an uncanny ability to diagnose future health hurdles. He now has me set up with a cardiologist as precautionary care. Dr Cohen has my hypertension and A1c in check along with cholesterol levels that were all problems. He is amazingly competent and I highly recommend his medical care. read more

i've been with Dr. Cohen for 3 years now for osteoarthritis and gout. My gout is mainly under control and i've been able to reduce the medications for it. my osteoarthritis has become manageable, as well as my gout, due the cortisone injections, dietary changes, a 4 mile walk each day and a change in shoe brand and wider width, which eliminated my bunions. All of this due to the recommendations provided by Dr. Cohen. The office staff, from the ones at the sign in desk, to the vital signs people, to Dr. Cohen's assistants, all have been very helpful in providing professional care. read more

Dr. Cohen is the best Dr. I have ever met. He is caring, kind, highly intelligent and he listens. These are rare skills in today's medical world.

He reviews my blood work every 3 months and shares results with me. I am beyond grateful for him and his staff. Highly recommend. read more

Today I woke up without pain. Sounds like a simple sentence but for me it was anything but simple. I have been suffering in pain for decades with my body from multiple surgeries resulting in fusions, joint replacements, arthritis, inflammation, sadness and anger being stuck in a body that I had never envisioned I'd have as a younger person. Years of physical therapy, trying different pain management doctors that I felt saw dollar signs and not a human being suffering. I've done it all but there is one doctor that remained steadfast in his approach to see me happy and healthy and above all saw me as a person that needed and wanted a doctor to listen to me without judgement. Trust me, I have come across many a doctor that has forgotten the girl that is in this broken body. Dr. Cohen has listened, consoled and discussed my problems with empathy and kindness with a positive outlook to the future. He has been very thoughtful in his decisions to my needs both physical and mental. His demeanor is always one of gentleness and patience. When I say I have been bullied and treated like your 5 minutes are up - next - I am not exaggerating. It's the exact opposite with Dr. Cohen. He makes sure when you leave your appointment you feel everything has been discussed, you understand his plans to get you healthy and most of all that you feel better than when you first walked in. While it's true I don't expect everyday to be pain free I'll take the one with the simple sentence. Today I woke up without pain. Thank you Dr. Cohen. read more

This doctor and his team are wonderful. My experience with every single person in this office couldn't have been better. Each person was exceptionally supportive, competent and friendly. Dr. Cohen is brilliant, warm (but not in a creepy way) and thorough. I was relieved and grateful to have found him. read more

Dr Cohen and team are exemplary in their approach to patients health. Dr Cohen listens to his patients, if tests are required he makes appropriate recommendations, sets follow up appoints and prescribes treatment. Dr Cohen himself will follow up with phone calls or texts outside of hours following up on progress. I couldn't recommend a better physician. read more

My experience Dr Cohen MD has been great. Initially I met him when I was interested in Hormone Replacement Therapy, Dr Cohen and his staff provide outstanding service, incredible knowledge and friendly follow up. He is also an expert in rhuemetolgy.I have had a long term issue with back and neck pain. He has helped me navigate these issues with physical therapy and trigger point injections. This has been a game changer in my well being and quality of life. I can't thank you enough Dr Cohen for your care and personal attention. read more

9 months of begging chiro, primary, ortho and pain dr to help with my arm pain. All of them insisted it was my neck. Not only did he not help he literally told me to "try sleeping on a flat pillow and consider doing tai chi". I asked him what to do because I couldn't take the pain anymore and said "I don't know you well enough". Shoulder MRI came back with a full tear, 2 partial tears, arthritis, bone spurs and fluid build up. Thank you DR.?Cohen for doing absolutely nothing to help me. I also looked at his billing breakdown he should be ashamed. read more

I first met Dr. Cohen in July of 2022. I had a few issues including some kind of skin issue that started after all the vaccinations so many of us got over the last couple of years. Dr. Cohen set up a healing path to follow, both verbal and written diagrams, along with taking x-rays and giving me a shot of cortisone in my knee! I admit, I was a bit scared of the needle that was about to go into my knee but, honestly, I hardly felt anything. Amazing! Fast forward to a week ago, April of 2023. My husband's knee swelled up. It was debilitating and we knew trying to see any doctor in the area would probably take months. I thought of Dr. Cohen and how good I felt after seeing him. I recommended him to my husband who was able to get an appointment within a couple of days. Dr. Cohen performed his magic and my husband felt instant relief and then fantastic a day later! We left with lots of information, some selfies with Dr. Cohen, including two books that Dr. Cohen gave him. We highly recommend Dr. Cohen and his staff, who are also awesome to work with. Thank you, Dr. Cohen! read more

On an emergency in 2009, I was hospitalized. A young doctor ( Dr. Shariar Cohen), visited me. He was so caring and the way he recognized my problem was amazing and he controlled my giant Cell Arteritis, He is now treating me for various long-term conditions. Dr. Cohen is an extraordinary, professional, caring, compassionate human, while providing fast diagnosis and treatment. I recommend him to all my family and friends. My husband loves and respects him, and any time I have an appointment he accompanies me to see him. His office staff are fantastic as well. I am currently under Rituxan treatment which helps me tremendously. Dr. Cohen, Thank you for all the years that you have taken care of me! read more

I know this isn't my first review of Dr. Cohen but i honestly can't say enough positive and good things about him and his team. He is beyond kind, helpful and caring. He takes care of me like I'm the only patient he cares about and he hires a team that acts the same way. I have a team of doctors handling my numerous health issues and I've worked to find only the best. Even with that, I still put Dr. Cohen at the top of my list for the care I get from him. He has a new laser therapy, FibroLux, to treat Fibromyalgia. He is one if the first offices in the country to offer this treatment and I hope to give it a try soon. I'll post a review about it as it's supposed to be a game changer for those of us with chronic Fibromyalgia pain. I highly recommend Dr. Cohen and all the services he offers. He is so much more than just a Rheumatologist. read more

Because of negative experiences w/other specialist physicians & because I don't often respond to medications as expected, as I reflect back on my early interactions w/Dr. Cohen I think I may have been on the defense. I aired my feelings, felt safe doing so. He is a very good listener, respectful, and treats me as a person, not just a patient. I trust him w/my care. Dr. Cohen is a good doctor and good man. Recently I called to see if I could reschedule an appointment because of the sudden death of a friend. The front desk staff compassionately squeezed into another slot w/o hesitation. I rarely wait to be called into my appointment. His practice is efficient. This is the kind of care we should all receive and expect. Warmest gratitude to these ethical professionals. Karen Bednorz read more

Dr Cohen is a phenomenal doctor and has a wonderful staff that assist him. He is caring and will take his time with you to make sure that any and all questions are answered. I originally came to him due to ongoing pain that I thought was maybe arthritis and come to find out I had a torn rotator cuff and other things going on with my left arm mind you this was after multiple visits to doctors in my area. I drive two hours to see him and for good reason as he also has helped with my hormones! read more

Dr Cohen and his staff are very kind and efficient. Dr Cohen goes beyond being just a rheumatologist, showing an interest in my overall wellbeing. He listens and is very thorough. If something is wrong that's outside his area of expertise, he offers referrals to excellent doctors. It's wonderful having a doctor who really cares. read more

I highly recommend Dr Cohen. He is an excellent physician and a very caring human being who goes above and beyond for his patients. 5/5 stars! Dr. Cohen is one of the kindest, most caring doctors I have ever met in my 61 years on this planet. He has a way about him that puts you at ease and makes you feel like you are in good hands from the very first visit. Dr. Chosen really listens to you as you describe how your feeling, then asks probing questions and does in depth and personalized assessments. I came to see Dr. Cohen for sudden and severe knee pain. I had seen two doctors and been to the ER prior who ultimately told me just to give it time. When I came to Dr. Cohen, I knew immediately I was in good hands. He did an ultra sound in his office and felt I had bursitis. He gave me a cortisone injection in my knee and a pain shot, then gave me through instructions about what I was to do for the following week until my next visit. I had to hug Dr. Cohen right then and there because he was the only doctor that helped take my pain from a 9 to a 4 right there in his office. The very next day I got a personal phone call from Dr. Cohen checking in on me. He also referred me to a outstanding orthopedist to rule out anatomical issues in addition to the bursitis. Thank you Dr. Cohen! read more

What a GREAT Doctor. The first time I saw him I was absolutely amazed at his wonderful ability to put you at ease. I am Hard of hearing and could not wear my hearing aids with my mask on. He explained my condition and pulled up a chair to sit next to me so I understood everything he was telling me. Once we were done I knew I would be with him for a very long long time. It a gift to find a Doctor you love to see Maggie Danielsen read more

Excellent, professional, thorough. Dr Shariar Cohen has been a godsend to our family. Thank you Dr Cohen for your quality care & always making sure to review all. read more

I have been seeing Dr. cohen for several years now. I originally went to him as I could not get rid of my depression for years! I thought perhaps it wasn't something auto immune related. This was at my last medical try. After a lot of bloodwork, he made me realize it was my hormones, or lack thereof. I had used bio identical creams from my gynecologist but they did nothing. However, Dr. Cohen convinced me that the Biote pellet would help immensely. I trusted what he said, and after inserted it, my daily depression lifted after 10 years! He is amazing and now 3 years later I still go for my pellet (which is bio identical and my bloodwork is tested every few months). I was feeling better in no time. I trust him, his knowledge and feel he is a very well educated and knowledgeable doctor! I can't thank him enough! read more

Dr Cohen is an amazing and caring physician. He has been my Dr for about 16 yrs and from day one still remains just as caring and connected to his patients. He takes time to listen and addresses all questions and concerns. He truly cares about all his patients read more

Dr Cohen is as compassionate a doctor as I have ever seen. I have a number of age and genetic related issues which have been giving me problems for a long time. He took the time to speak with me at length and came up with innovative solutions to try to get to the bottom of my problems. I would recommend Dr. Cohen without hesitation to anyone who wants a good diagnostician who really cares. He also has an excellent network of physicians that can be relied upon in each of their individual areas of expertise. read more

In a world we tend to accept a normal visit at a Doctor's office because we have a 'need' to be seen and helped, and thus our customer experience expectations have, bast on past experiences, set the bar low. Dr Cohen AND his staff never adopted that mentality. He over almost 15 years of my seeing him, he and his staff continue to make seeing a Dr a pleasurable experience, dare I say fun! When you walk in, everyone knows you by name and they know your family! I brought my son in for the first time during a visit for myself, and the staff knew him by name and Dr Cohen took the time to walk my son through the shots I was getting. Great work Dr Cohen! read more
