Lillian E. Cohn, MD, FACP

Meet Lillian E. Cohn, MD, FACP


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."

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.

Testimonials from patients of Lillian E. Cohn, MD, FACP

Life is better because of Dr. Lillian Cohn

from Clara in PA • March 9, 2024
My name is Clara (Claire) Ruscica. I have been a patient of Dr. Cohn for a very long time, and in all these years not once has she disappointed me or made me question her opinion. In addition, and a very important point, is that I think Dr. Cohn is very intelligent; she is also very caring and will research anything that she is not 100% sure of. I am going to celebrate my 88th birthday in Read more...

Thank you Dr Cohn

from Pauline in PA • March 9, 2024
The visit she pushed me to try Mounjaro. It changed my whole life. I am forever grateful to her. Pauline Osher

For Lillian Cohn MD

from Charlotte in PA • February 21, 2024
I am happy to be a patient of Lillian Cohn MD. She has helped me integrate into the medical community having moved here from another MDVIP physician in Boston in June 2021. And yes she rescued me from a trip to the ER because she has a cooler head than I. And she even found me a local friend among her patient pool. I feel very lucky to have her. 

Amazing Doctor

Dr. Lillian Cohn - 24/7 availability

Dr. Cohn is available 24/7, not only to provide expert care, but also to actually listen to you. She is an incredible diagnostician and never settle for less than getting her patient to a 100% level of what each can achieve. I know this first-hand. Dr. Cohn and I are a team and my health has improved with age rather than declined because of her care and advice. Dr. Cohn has a preventive Read more...
