About Dr. Cohen
Dr. Steven E. Cohen is a board-certified general surgeon practicing in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and a member of the American College of Surgeons. He brings a measured, deliberate approach to every case—whether it involves routine abdominal surgery or a complex reconstructive procedure.
His practice centers on minimally invasive and robotic techniques that reduce recovery time and discomfort, paired with the kind of personal attention that makes patients feel heard from their first consultation through full recovery.
Dr. Cohen believes that surgical excellence lives at the intersection of technical skill, thoughtful communication, and genuine respect for the person on the other side of the operating table.
Surgical Services
Dr. Cohen offers a comprehensive range of general surgical services, emphasizing minimally invasive approaches whenever appropriate.
Advanced laparoscopic and open techniques for inguinal, femoral, ventral, and hiatal hernias—designed for durable repair and faster return to daily life.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed through tiny incisions—minimizing pain, scarring, and recovery time so you can resume normal activities quickly.
Surgical management of colon and rectal conditions—including polyps, diverticular disease, and colorectal cancer—using the least invasive approach possible.
Careful surgical treatment of thyroid nodules, goiters, and parathyroid disease, with attention to preserving voice and calcium metabolism.
Diagnostic and surgical care for breast conditions, including biopsy, lumpectomy, and mastectomy—delivered with sensitivity and clear communication.
Excision of suspicious lesions, cysts, and soft-tissue masses with careful attention to wound closure and cosmetic outcome.
This is not an exhaustive list. Contact our office to discuss whether a specific procedure is appropriate for your condition.
The Dr. Cohen Difference
The best surgical outcome depends on more than the operation itself. It depends on how clearly you understand your condition, how confident you feel in your surgeon, and how attentive you are during recovery.
Every patient receives a detailed discussion of diagnosis, all treatment options, risks, and what to expect—so you can make decisions with confidence.
Where clinically appropriate, Dr. Cohen uses laparoscopic and robotic approaches that mean smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery.
You are never left to navigate recovery alone. Clear instructions, direct access to your surgeon's team, and follow-up care tailored to your progress.
