Meet Jay Judy. After a previous surgery with another orthopedic surgeon, he was still struggling to get back to normal. Then he found Dr. Cohen, and everything changed.

Now, he’s on the road to recovery, getting his strength back and reclaiming his life. ✨

His story is a powerful reminder: the right care makes all the difference. Recovery isn’t always a straight path, but with the right team, it’s always possible. 👣

Full story coming soon ⏳

Staying active is one of the best things you can do for your joints, and it doesn’t have to be hard on your body to be effective. 🦴✨

When it comes to joint health, low-impact movement is key. Activities like walking, swimming, cycling, yoga, and light strength training can help you stay strong, flexible, and moving comfortably, without unnecessary strain. 💪

These types of exercises support your joints while improving mobility, balance, and overall strength, helping you continue doing the things you love.

If you’re not sure where to start, you’re not alone. The right plan looks different for everyone, and we’re here to help guide you with care that’s tailored to you.

Have questions about getting started safely? We’re always here to talk. 💬

Reminder: we offer walk-in clinics every Saturday from 8-noon ✨

“Everyone wants to eat…
but few are willing to hunt.”

Everyone says they want better healthcare.

Closer access.
Safer surgery.
Technology that actually puts patients first.

But very few are willing to step into what it actually takes to build it.

Because the moment it requires change…
real investment…
challenging what’s been “good enough”…

that’s when the resistance shows up.

Building something different isn’t easy.
It threatens comfort.
It exposes complacency.

The Chillicothe Project was never meant to fit inside the existing system.
It was meant to raise the standard.

And the truth is—
the hunt isn’t glamorous.

It’s early mornings and long nights.
It’s pressure in the OR and pressure outside of it.
It’s making decisions when the path isn’t clear…
and showing up anyway.

But this has become bigger than healthcare for me.

Because at home…
I’ve got two young daughters watching everything.

Not what I say—
but what I do.

They’re learning what it looks like to keep going
when things get hard…
when it would be easier to step back…
when most people would choose comfort over conviction.

I want them to see that when you believe in something—
something that truly helps people—
you don’t quit when it gets uncomfortable.

You don’t fold when there’s resistance.

You stay in the fight.
You do the work.

Because patients are counting on it.

Because your community deserves better.

And because one day…
they’ll have their own “hunt.”

And they’ll remember exactly how they were taught to show up.

Lesley Murphy… your story is why I never see what we do as “routine.”

Over the course of my career, I’ve been fortunate to care for many patients who have inspired me with their strength—their ability to overcome, recover, and become more than they ever thought possible.

But your journey stands apart.

Not because of the numbers… not because of the weight loss…
But because of the belief you never let go of, even when others placed limits in front of you.

You were told to lose weight before you could move forward.
But what people often don’t understand is that pain traps people. It takes away their ability to take that first step.

You trusted me anyway.

And together, we took that step.

What followed wasn’t just a surgery—it was a partnership.
A commitment.
A decision, every single day, to keep going.

Watching you reclaim your life…
Seeing you walk, move, live, and smile in a way that once felt out of reach—

That’s the privilege of this profession.

You may call me your hero… but the truth is, Leslie—

You’re mine.

For over 20 years, Leslie Murphy knew exactly who she would trust with her care, Dr. Cohen. 💕

When she needed a total knee replacement in 2022, she weighed 396 pounds. Like many patients, she had heard the same discouraging message others are told at different clinics: lose weight first.

But here’s the reality no one talks about… How are you supposed to lose weight when you can’t walk because of the pain? 🚶

Leslie’s journey is about more than surgery. It’s about partnership, perseverance, and a surgeon who truly puts patients first. Today, she’s down more than 140 pounds, and living a life that once felt out of reach.

“The people who say ‘don’t make your passion your work’ have probably never carried the responsibility of someone else’s outcome.”

I hear this advice often.

The idea is simple:
If you turn your passion into your work, the pressure, the hours, and the responsibility will eventually drain the joy out of it.

Maybe that’s true in some professions.

But in medicine… I’m not sure the opposite works either.

Because when you step into the operating room, the responsibility is real.

And the moment the incision starts, the rest of the world disappears.

Someone trusted you with their health.
Their mobility.
Sometimes their ability to return to the life they love.

There are no “off days” when someone’s outcome is in your hands.

And every surgeon knows this quiet truth…

You remember far more of your patients than they will ever remember of you.

That kind of responsibility is heavy.

And without passion for the work, it would be impossible to carry.

But passion alone isn’t enough.

It has to be anchored in purpose.

Purpose to show up for patients when they are at their most vulnerable.
Purpose to push for safer systems, better technology, and better access to care.
Purpose to build something bigger than yourself—like what we’re working toward with the Chillicothe Project—so communities in Southern Ohio can receive world-class care close to home.

Because the truth is…

Surgeons may leave the operating room, but the responsibility for their patients never really leaves them.

And that responsibility is not a burden.

It’s a privilege.

A privilege we should never take lightly.

For me, that mission has always been simple:

Patients First. Always.

Todd Pike, special patient guest in studio.

“You definitely used good hardware in my knees
I set of every metal detector
I walked so many places on vacation

This could not of happened with out your skills no doctor wanted to touch me because of my size and was not going to do both knees
I can never explain or express my gratitude nor can my family
Of what you did for me
And the memories we made
Thanks Todd Pike”

Long car ride or flight coming up? Sitting for long periods can cause your knees, hips, and lower back to stiffen, especially if you’re already dealing with arthritis or a past injury.

A good rule of thumb: try to move every 60–90 minutes.
Even a short walk or quick stretch can help keep your joints loose and comfortable.

Your body was made to move, especially on the road. 🚗✈️
