5.0 star star star star starHe was just as thorough as his staff. He listened to every detail related or not to my visit and asked thorough questions. He made sure no question was left behind and asked the right questions to help me answer as clearly as possible. I was not rushed at all and he explained next steps as clear as possible and told me what or what not to expect.

5.0 star star star star starHe hears what you're saying and is very knowledgeable . Doctor doesn't rush you to beat the clock, he explains your next move. I first saw him 23 years ago when I was brought to the ER. He was the physician on call that day. I've been with him ever since. I e referred him to others

5.0 star star star star starI had chosen him a year ago with the help of knowledgeable people and now, after several visits, I am fully aware of his knowledge about my disease. I have a lot of information about my disease and I can say that my opinion about Dr. Cohen's information and performance is justified.

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
