    I would be remiss if I did not mention that Dr. Cogan's nurse, Erin, was equally as engaged in providing the information and scheduling that was needed. She also took the time to answer any questions and concerns that came up during the conversation.

    Dr. Cogan listened very carefully to every comment or question that I had and Took whatever time was needed to answer my concerns and questions fully. I never felt as though I was being rushed. Perhaps most important, was the fact that he was not looking at the screen of his laptop while he was talking with me and my husband about the shoulder replacement surgery. He was fully engaged in our conversation and not distracted in anyway.
