Being bipolar it was very hard to find a doctor that I connected with. Dr Cohen was the most educated in his Feld. That I had met. On top of that fact, he was able to help me lead a balanced life. He was so caring, and sincerely compassionate of my situation. . For 20 years he has helped me maintain that balance in life. Don’t misunderstand me of course there have been issues, however Dr. Cohen was always there to help me through them. Jack

I have been doing ECT treatments and he has always made me feel comfortable. He always discusses everything that is going on and when my next appointment will be. I absolutely love him! His staff is also amazing

He spends time with a patient as if they are the only one he has to see for that day and he listens to your concerns about medications working or not working. If I could give a five star rating, it would be for courteous staff, bedside manner, spends time with me and follow up after visit.
