My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

I am a female primary care physician with over 30 years of experience in internal medicine. I also have the privilege of providing personalized health and wellness care in a model. My office is in Center City, Philadelphia, and my patients come from the southeastern Pennsylvania region; New Jersey, as far away as Trenton and Cape May; Delaware, including Rehoboth; and even Maryland. I am on staff at both Pennsylvania Hospital and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and continue to teach residents and students as part of my commitment to educating the next generation of primary care physicians. 

My goal as an internist is to partner with my patients so they can become better advocates for their healthcare needs and participate more in the medical decisions that can help them live healthier and happier lives. I manage both acute and chronic diseases and assist with end-of-life decisions. Because of my smaller practice size, I have time to closely listen to my patients and provide proactive medical recommendations and emotional support. My MDVIP-affiliated practice also offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. My greatest asset is my ability to advocate for my patients' needs, and I am available for all of their questions and concerns. As a private doctor, I coordinate care through our complex healthcare system, and in so doing, I am able to help improve the overall wellness of my patients and limit unnecessary services. I have an honest and direct approach to communication and am sensitive to the different needs and goals of individuals. 

My MDVIP-affiliated internal medicine practice has earned the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Level III Certification and has repeatedly achieved above 95% nationwide for quality. This recognition acknowledges an effective way of organizing primary care that emphasizes care coordination and communication in order to transform primary care into "what patients want it to be."

About the Practice/Practice News

Telemedicine Option: I am also using telemedicine visits to stay connected with my patients when they are unable to see me in the office. It is easy to do, and we have maintained our momentum with preventive health goals and chronic care during difficult times.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Cohn

from Barbara in PA February 11, 2024 for Lillian E. Cohn, MD, FACP

At our first meeting, Lillian Cohn, was the Medical Director of one of the City of Philadelphia’s Health Care Centers. I was working as a Registered Nurse at the time.
Impressed with her “bedside manner” and on the recommendation of a good friend; when I needed a primary care physician, I contacted Dr. Cohn.
By this time Dr. Cohn was in private practice and I was relieved to note… See more

from Rita in PA February 10, 2024 for Lillian E. Cohn, MD, FACP

My husband and I have been under the care of Lillian Cohn in Philadelphia for the past 2 years. When we made the change to a MDVIP physician, our specific goals were to consolidate our doctors into one medical network, find a physician who listens to our concerns and makes appropriate recommendations to specialists in addition to being responsive. Dr.Cohn has been all these things to us.… See more

I have known Dr. Lillian Cohn for several years - when neither of us had grey hair! She is knowledgeable, always available and compassionate but also maintains standards of health and has never pampered me. (That's a good thing!) There are two situations that stand out in the history of my relationship with her. The first is when I got breast cancer. She was with me every step of the… See more

Dr. Lillian Cohn years ago astutely noticed from a simple urine test that my calcium uptake was abnormal. She sent me to. an endocrinologist, who, after scans, did surgery and discovered that I had an extra parathyroid gland that had gone bonkers. Calcium was being leached from my bones. I am grateful to Dr Cohn for being so observant. Today I am a strong, athletic 78-year-old who continues to… See more

from Jane in PA January 18, 2024 for Lillian E. Cohn, MD, FACP

I am relatively new to the VIP program and so I am in the "getting to know my doctor" phase of treatment. This is my second year with Dr. Cohn, after my family doctor of approximately 35 years, retired. Adjustment and change can be difficult but, Dr. Cohn has made it quite easy. I think the most memorable moment was when I shared my family history with her, which was quite… See more

from Diana in PA January 18, 2024 for Lillian E. Cohn, MD, FACP

from dina f in PA March 18, 2020 for Lillian E. Cohn, MD, FACP

In 2009 I came to this city and was having a heck of a problem finding a good Internal MD.. I found Dr. Woodland,wonderful GYN and he encouraged me to find Dr. Cohn. Anyway,I did track her down and fortunately was able to sign on to MDVIP and found her to be just what I had hoped for my Mom! I convinced her to take her on also even though she was not taking on new patients( I got in just under… See more

from Beverly in PA March 16, 2020 for Lillian E. Cohn, MD, FACP

A colleague of mine was kind enough to suggest I see her doctor when I was searching for a GP. That doctor was Lillian Cohn and its been 32 years since that first visit. I am very grateful to my colleague for that introduction. It is rare to say that you trust someone totally but I can say that without hesitation about Dr. Cohn. From the minor concerns to the major health issues I've faced she… See more

from Maureen in PA March 12, 2020 for Lillian E. Cohn, MD, FACP

Dr. Cohn is a wonderful doctor. She works long hours and is very caring and concerned for her patients. She has been my doctor for well over 30 years. When she joined MDVIP I signed up so she could remain my doctor. I hope she will continue to practice medicine for a long time. She is a very special person

from Lynn in PA March 12, 2020 for Lillian E. Cohn, MD, FACP

Dr. Lillian Cohn sees me a whole patient, not just looking at whatever health issue i go to see her about. Shortly after i started to see her, i had a few episodes of vertigo. I appreciated how she coordinated the various specialists i saw: sometimes making referrrals, sometimes interpreting what specialists said, sometimes providing me with questions to ask them. She has done that over and… See more
