Medical disclaimer

This site is educational, not medical advice.

The content here describes shoulder and elbow conditions and procedures in general terms. It is not a substitute for evaluation by a qualified physician who knows your history and has examined you. Never disregard professional medical advice, or delay seeking it, because of something you read on this website.

No doctor–patient relationship.

Viewing this site, submitting the appointment form, or emailing us does not create a doctor–patient relationship. That relationship begins only when Dr. Cohn formally accepts you as a patient at an office visit.

Every patient is different.

Recovery timelines, sling durations, therapy milestones, and return-to-activity estimates on this site are typical ranges, not promises. Your surgical plan and recovery protocol are individualized. Where anything on this website differs from the written instructions Dr. Cohn or his team gave you, follow your written instructions and call the office.

No guarantee of outcome.

Patient stories and reviews reflect individual experiences. Results vary, and no particular outcome is promised or implied.

Emergencies.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not use this website, the appointment form, or email to report an emergency.

External links.

Links to third-party sites are provided for convenience. We do not control or endorse their content.

Practice affiliation.

Dr. Cohn practices at Summit Health. This website is operated independently and its content is his own; it has not been issued by Summit Health, and Summit Health is not responsible for it.
