Dr. Cohen is extremely thoughtful, insightful and kind. He always makes me feel so comfortable, knowledgeable and confident in my care journey. He has always taken the time to help answer all of my questions (which I usually have a lot of) and help me understand and feel safe, heard and seen. I travel from out of state to ensure he is my care provider because he is simply the best in class. If we can clone humans, Dr. Cohen should be at the top of that list so we can better humanity and keep helping MS patients live happier, healthier lives!
