Elaine

Patient of Lillian E. Cohn, MD, FACP

I've been a patient of Dr. Lillian Cohn's for approximately 40 years even before she was with MDVIP. Over that time there have been multiple moments where she helped me through life's ups and downs from getting married to family illnesses and losses and many more. However, the one that made a huge difference to me is when my husband was dying in the hospital. Although I knew his final wishes, I hesitated out of panic and grief. I remember so clearly calling Dr. Cohn and she called me back immediately and talked me through one of the most difficult decisions of my life. She was my lifeline on that day. Although that was 17 years ago, her response and guidance is something I'll be forever grateful to her for and which I'll never forget.

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.

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 that Read more...

Saved my bones

from Dorothy in PA • February 10, 2024

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 Read more...

from PATRICIA in PA • February 10, 2024

I have known Dr. Lillian Cohn for several years - when neither of us had grey hair!
