Darius Kohan MD

Terrible. Appointment canceled at the last minute. Completely unprofessional office. Wish I could give zero stars. I had appointment made well in advance and was canceled at the last minute. Apparently they care very little for their patients. I was traveling 3 ½ hours to see him. Won’t give them a second chance to waste my time.

Dr. Kohan is very professional and answers every question and concerns one might have. I found him online, as I noticed significant hearing loss in one ear over the past few months — turned out I had an outer ear infection but unusually (apparently) no pain associated with it. Dr. Kohan was very thorough in examining my neck, nose, ears etc. Then, his colleague Dr. Vazquez checked my hearing and explained every test. Turns out I have some hearing loss due to a hereditary condition — but Dr. Kohan had read my chart and patient form well and acknowledged that given my job and lifestyle, that I didn’t need a hearing aid at this stage — which is my round about way of saying that there is no unnecessary upsell here. I wish all Dr. Office experiences were as seamless as this. Oh yeah, and if you go to see him, the office is through the lobby entrance on the north side of East 77^th St (no exterior signage).

Greatest ENT/​surgeon ever. Period.
Went to Dr. Kohan with a cholesteatoma which caused me to be practically deaf on one side. Thanks to him, I can finally hear again!
He and his staff are very professional, pleasant people. Would recommend to anyone!

I have been Dr. Kohan’s patient for 6 years. I suffer from Meniere’s Disease, vestibular migraines, and profound hearing loss in one ear. Prior to seeing Dr. Kohan, I sought help from my PCP at the time and two local ENTs. I was referred to a very good ENT who specialized in balance disorders, but once it was determined that surgery was likely needed, she referred me to Dr. Darius Kohan, her colleague. Dr. Kohan receives the honor of NY’s Finest for a reason. His office is unlike any other I’ve been to; quiet and calm, impeccably run by a wonderful staff. Dr. Kohan has a great bedside manor and takes the time to not only run tests, but really explain what the results mean and all of your treatment options. What I truly love about Dr. Kohan is he absolutely cares about his patients. At my last visit he was genuinely excited to present me with a new hearing aid option to help improve the quality of my life. I drive into the city from South Jersey to see Dr. Kohan, and he’s worth every trip. I highly recommend.

Enough time (1 ½ years) has passed since I had surgery for otosclerosis performed on both ears by Dr. Kohan. I waited to make sure there were no side effects/​relapses related to my hearing. The surgery has changed my life, both professionally and personally. I can hear better than most people I know. I was 65 at the time of the surgery. If you have the same diagnosis and are resisting hearing aids, run, don’t walk, to Dr. Kohan’s office. An admitted coward, the surgery was a total non event both times. In fact, the whole experience could not have been better thanks to Dr. Kohan, the comfortable surgical facilities and the incredibly competent and courteous office staff. Thaks Dr. Kohan!

i have never written a review of a doctor, or for that matter, any review at all. why dr. kohan you might ask? because, from beginning to end he and his staff were outstanding. my first appointment was an evaluation, and thorough testing. after surgery was deemed to be the proper course of action, a date was set up for within a weeks time. the surgery was done at the ny eye and ear infirmary, and went smooth as a gravy sandwich. at this point, i would like to mention that the folks at the ny eye and ear infirmary were top notch, from beginning to end. post op was like a dream come true. bottom line: i am so very grateful to have been directed to dr. kohan and his staff for their caring, and professionalism. would i recommend dr. kohan? yes, in a heart beat. v. kerpel please note that this review has some how been attached to the name sarah l. this is a Unilocal glitch, as it is written by me, v. kerpel

I have been suffering with vertigo. My primary care Doctor recommended a Otolaryngologist/​ENT that specializes in sleep disorders and had received unfavorable reviews on Unilocal.
I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Kohan after hours of research: he was highly recommended by Organizations devoted to resolving Vestibular Disorders, also by a Meniere’s Disease Support Group, and one Reviewer on Unilocal — Not to mention all the Top Doc Awards. I did have to wait more than a month for an appointment, but is was worth it.
Dr. Kohan took the time to give me a comprehensive examination, which included looking at the films of my brain MRI, balance tests, auditory testing (he has an Audiologist on Staff), and other appropriate tests. I was scheduled for vestibular testing during that same week; he called me and discussed the results that night.
At all times I felt that he was professional, highly competent and capable. I was not diagnosed with any vestibular disorder, and I feel confident my vertigo is not ENT/​vestibular related.

Thank god and anyone else responsible for Doctor Kohan. Thanks to him, I not only have a new ear, but i can now hear 100% out of my right ear! yay! He is thorough and confident. He really puts you at ease because you know he knows what he’s doing. He is the head of Otolaryngology practically everywhere in NYC and review as best doctor in new york times repeatedly. My big Love for him is that he was willing to operate when no one else was. I am grateful.
Tomorrow we fix the left ear.
