The MAKO Systems have transformed the way Dr. Cohen performs joint replacement, and has improved the healing of orthopedic and sports medicine injuries for over 5 years. He was the first doctor in south central Ohio to perform robotic-assisted orthopedic surgeries.

"2000 is just a number, but what it represents is more important. It serves as a commitment from me to my patients and it is symbolic of the advanced technologies that I promise to continue to provide. Technologies, like MAKO, help

make me a better surgeon, so I can do the best procedure for each individual patient,” said Dr. Cohen.

With the Mako robotic arm-assisted hip and knee replacement procedures, Dr. Cohen can make more precise cuts and adjustments quicker. This advanced technology also may reduce the need for opiates, the duration of hospital stays, inpatient physical therapy as well as post-operative pain.
