About Andre Cohen, M.D.

Cataract, cornea, and refractive surgeon Dr. Andre Cohen was determined to become a doctor after a physician gave his father a blunt and bleak prognosis. “I knew I wanted to be someone who could inspire hope in others,” Dr. Cohen recalls, “and to help people in a way that only a physician could. That experience with my father—who is doing quite well, by the way—taught me that the practice of medicine is so much more than knowledge and skill; being compassionate toward people is important, too.”One of Dr. Cohen’s favorite aspects of his job is building relationships with his patients. He enjoys the unique opportunity ophthalmology affords him to serve his patients for multiple needs throughout their lifetime.“I feel blessed because I love my work,” Dr. Cohen says. “I hope to see patients until the day I can’t operate anymore.”In addition to routinely performing sight-saving eye surgeries, Dr. Cohen became the president and managing partner of the Marietta Eye Clinic in 2020.In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family, sports, politics, world events, meditation, philanthropy, and technology.

Sandy B.

"Dr. Cohen is not just my doctor; I feel he is my friend. We have travailed with my cornea and eye issues. He has been doing for me what he discussed in the video concerning his dad. He has worked diligently for me and with me. God bless him! And with God's help and Dr. Cohen's, I believe for a great outcome."

Terry G.

"Dr. Cohen is an excellent doctor. I have Fuchs' disease, and he did my cornea transplant. I have had Dr. Cohen for over 20 years, and the whole staff of doctors and assistants are awesome."

Judy S.

"The most amazing physician I have ever met. He did my cataracts, and I never was in any pain. His bedside manner was wonderful. Marietta Eye Clinic is the only place I would want to have my eye sx."

Adrian R.

"Dr. Cohen and his staff were all amazing for both of my eye surgeries. I would strongly recommend them and have done so."

Nancy C.

"Dr Cohen is top notch and so is his staff. Professional yet friendly. His exam is thorough, and he answers all questions and concerns. Follow up with his staff is also thorough. Do not get discouraged if the phone isn't answered by a person. You will hear from the person you need assistance from immediately. There is more than enough staff to do any and everything you need."

LeAnn T.

"I have wanted to do Lasik for the last 15 years but just never was pushed to the point that it became a priority. I wore glasses and could not wear contacts because they burnt my eyes. Left was a +1.5, my right eye was a +2.50. During Covid I got sick and tired of my classes steaming up and it pushed me to the point to call Dr Cohen. It was one of the best phone calls I have made in my life. The experience was incredible, my vision is perfect, and I can read every single fine line on the side of a Coke can. Dr Cohen was amazing, his demeanor, humor, and professionalism is what drives me to write this review. I highly recommend anyone who is thinking about it, make that call! Best thing I ever did in my life and I constantly brag how great I can see now!"

Burke O.

"Drs Cohen and John are the best. Will not go anywhere else."

Jonnie B.

"I have recently completed laser cataract surgery with multi-focal implants on both eyes by Dr. Andre Cohen at Marietta Eye Clinic. Dr. Cohen & the entire team did a fabulous job of explaining my surgery options and walking me through the entire process, from my pre-op office visit, through the actual surgeries on each eye, and on the post-op visits. I could not be more pleased with my results, as I now have 20/20 vision again! —...Best of all no more glasses!!! I definitely recommend Dr. Cohen for your eye care needs!"

Tricia M.

"I have had two cataract and two cornea replacements surgeries with no complications whatsoever. Dr. Cohen is the best."

David P.

"As always, I was treated in a friendly, thorough and professional manner by all staff, from front door greeting to departure. All of my questions were answered fully. Thank you!"

Leslie L.

"Dr. Cohen is always informative and courteous. I know from my husbands experience he a skilled surgeon."

"If needing a qualified and superb eye surgeon, Marietta Eye Clinic is the place to go for excellent and reliable care. All the physicians have excellent reputations, and the staff is both professional and kind. Dr. Andre Cohen has performed several eye surgeries on me over the years with very professional expertise and focused care. In an office visit Dr. Cohen uses his caliber of knowledge, coupled with vast experience, to give the patient a proper diagnosis with a complete follow through. Additionally, and also very important, is that he actually listens to the patient. He gives you his full attention, not just half a year. You are heard. I trust Dr. Cohen with one of my most valuable and needed part of my body......my eyes. I need not say more."
