The Thoughtful Approach

Dr. Cohen and Dr. Winters became associated as Plastic Surgery Residents at The New York Hospital/Cornell Medical Center in 1996 after each independently completed training and board certification in General Surgery. They began practicing together in 1998 when they became affiliated with Hackensack University Medical Center—considered one of the finest university hospitals in the nation.

In their many years of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery practice, Stephanie and Rick remain close friends and colleagues, and are committed to providing superb surgical care for all patients in their practice: Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgeons. Their compatibility and passion makes Cohen/Winters one of the most unique plastic surgery practices in northern New Jersey.

Unparalleled Care, Unmatched Expertise

From the moment a patient walks in the door, they will understand the core beliefs of Cohen/Winters. The highest level of surgical skill combined with state-of-the-art technology can still be warm. Honest, firm and expert advice can still be compassionate and caring. Cohen/Winters believes that doctors can be assured and decisive without being intimidating.

Whether a patient is considering an aesthetic procedure or are in need of reconstructive surgery, they will want to feel secure that they are making the right decision about the procedure and their choice of surgeon.
