5.0 star star star star starOriginally, in the year 2000, I was told by another patient, that Dr. Bruce A. Cohen was one of the best neurologist in the country. From my own experience, hes definitely lived up to that reputation. I would not feel comfortable seeing another neurologist. Dr. Cohen is brilliant, as well as thorough. He explains everything to me in a way that I can understand. We both play a role in my care, and he allows me to ask the toughest questions, without becoming irritated. Dr. Cohen is the best, and he truly cares about his patients.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Cohen has been my neurologist for 21 years. Not only is he extremely intelligent, he takes time to listen to my concerns and he doesnt rush through appointments. I feel Dr. Cohen genuinely cares and he is at the top of his field. I travel two hours to my appointments and two hours home (total of four hours) to see Dr. Cohen. Well worth it.

5.0 star star star star starHe's terrific! Quiet, thoughtful, careful listener, totally devoted to individualized care. We have real discussion of risks and benefits of all treatment options, and we come to joint decisions on how to proceed. A great combination of doctor, scientist, and human being.

5.0 star star star star starI've been his patient for 20+ years. He's always been very personable and listens to my issues and responds in a clear and understandable way. He often gives me guidance / advice how to address other health issues, e.g. what kind of doctor to see, where to look for an appropriate one, etc.

4.0 star star star star star_borderGood exam by physician. I did feel he was agitated that I was there and was second guessing the care from my primary neurologist. He excepted my request that I would like to see him yearly and would be there if I would be a benefit from other therapies or studies if needed. Northwestern is a wonderful medical center. Excellent staff.

5.0 star star star star starI have been a patient of Dr. Cohen for 4 years now, and would highly recommend him to anyone with MS. He takes the time to thoroughly examine any concerns I have and I have never once felt rushed during any of our appointments. He is compassionate, listens to what I have to say, and is receptive if I want to think more about his recommendations before implementing them. He also remembers personal details and checks in, which makes me feel valued as a patient. His team, Chris and Jessica, are also wonderful, very helpful and respond quickly. Thank you, Dr. Cohen!

5.0 star star star star starI have been with Cohen since my diagnosis. He clearly explains and answers and questions or concerns I have. Due to my care with him I am considering switching all my doctors to NW instead split across your institution and advocate.
