About Lillian E. Cohn, MD, FACP

I am a primary care physician with over 40 years of experience in internal medicine, and I have the privilege of providing individualized health and wellness care as an affiliate of MDVIP, the leader in the leader in personalized healthcare. My office is in Center City Philadelphia, located between Penn Medicine/University of Pennsylvania Health System and Jefferson Health. I refer to a network of specialists in both systems.

My goal is to partner with and educate my patients and help them feel enabled to participate in their medical decision making. I support my patients as they pursue living healthier, happier lives. I work with patients to help them address acute and chronic diseases, and I can discuss the intricacies of end-of-life care.

Because of my smaller practice size, I have more time to listen to my patients and offer proactive medical guidance and emotional support. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.

I believe one of my greatest assets is my ability to advocate for my patients’ needs as we work together to navigate the complex healthcare system. I think having an advocate on their side supports patients as they work to improve their overall health and potentially minimize the amount of extraneous health services needed. I have an honest and direct approach to communication and am sensitive to each individual’s different needs and goals.

I am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese.

My internal medicine practice has earned the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Level III Certification. This recognition identifies medical practices that have invested in a model of care that puts patients at the forefront and where continuous quality improvement is a priority. My practice has also repeatedly ranked above 95% nationwide for quality, according to Aledade ACO.

What our members are saying

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 way…

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.

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 emotional.…

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
