His clinical practice integrates advanced surgical techniques with patient-centered care at the Wake Forest Road campus in Raleigh, NC.

• Education: MD (2000) and MPH (1999) from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Dr. Cohen's research spans laryngology, dysphagia, and airway management, with recent work examining:

• Vocal fold paralysis treatment trends across tertiary care centers
• Preoperative dysphagia risks in aging populations
• Psychosocial impacts of swallowing disorders
• Inhaled drug delivery optimization for stenosis patients
• Long-term outcomes in idiopathic subglottic stenosis

His publications demonstrate strong interdisciplinary focus, combining otolaryngology, geriatrics, nutrition, and biomedical engineering. Clinical grants include Treatment Alternatives in Adult Rare Disease (2016-2018) and NoAAC PR-02 Study for idiopathic subglottic stenosis, both funded by Vanderbilt University. Current research emphasizes improving quality of life for patients with complex airway conditions through evidence-based interventions.
