5.0 star star star star starDr. Cohen is a great medical doctor. I have been seeing him for 10 years and would recommend him to anyone diagnosed with MS. He is very conservative in his approach which is great in the right situation.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Cohen is why I will always continue to come back to Northwestern. I feel so confident in his care and have deep trust in him. I feel tremendously grateful and appreciative for his guidance and insight and feel lucky to have him as my provider. If human cloning existed I would recommend he be short-listed.

5.0 star star star star starI immediately felt that my choice of a new neurologist was the right choice because of the thorough exam Dr. Cohen made. His demeanor and obvious concern for my wellbeing was comforting and deeply appreciated. The amount of time he pent with me was further affirmation that eased any apprehension that I could have had.

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.
