Great experience with Dr. Cohen!! Very knowledgeable, friendly, & easy to talk to :) definitely recommend!!

Tatum S.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Cohen for I think 2 or 3 years. Yeah … I’m not trying to find another neurologist. He’s extremely knowledgeable, personable, caring, and probably the best in the country (IMO - but I really don’t know). I don’t really like doctors because sometimes it feels like they’re just pushing pills, but I (from the start) felt like he was more concerned with doing all he could for MY benefit and he wasn’t trying to make some quota (if you know what I mean). I also drive 6 hours (from Pittsburgh) to see him because I don’t trust a lot of doctors, but I trust him. I forgot to mention, he’s super serious about my health and has no problem being upfront and honest with me, which I am so appreciative of.

Stephanie M.
Dr Cohen was extremely helpful in figuring out where my headaches were coming from. He is generous with his time and has fantastic bedside manner!

Lisa B.
Dr Cohen has been treating me for chronic migraines for over a year. He is kind and caring, and knowledgeable in all the newest treatments. He has always been reassuring and confident that we can find the right treatment, and after trying different medicines, we were able to find one that works. He even stood up for me against the insurance company in order to receive the procedure that finally help relieve my migraines. My head now feels completely clear and I barely get headaches. It has been life changing. Thank you!

Amit P.
I am so grateful for Dr. Cohen. After so many doctors telling me for years I have to just live with my headaches, Dr. Cohen finally took me serious and prescribed a rigorous treatment plan. I finally feel heard, and most of all I got relief. I love that Dr. Cohen offers telemedicine and evening appointments. If you’re suffering from migraines you simply can’t wait for months to get an appointment. I highly recommend.

Leonie D.
Dr Cohen is an amazing doctor. He is always on time and is thorough and precise and if i ever have an issue he responds almost immediately. I couldn’t be more pleased with his attention and care.

Sara L.
Dr. Cohen's approach to treating headaches is regarded by some as effective and patient-centered. He is known for taking a comprehensive approach, often combining medication, lifestyle changes, and individualized treatment plans to address the specific needs of each patient. Many appreciate his methodical and thorough style, as well as his ability to communicate clearly with patients about their treatment options. While his approach receives strong recommendations from some, it's important to consider that treatment effectiveness can vary from person to person. Consulting directly with Dr. Cohen would be beneficial for anyone interested in understanding how his methods might apply to their particular situation.

Destiny R.
Dr. Cohen is a caring, compassionate doctor who knows himself what it's like to suffer from migraines. He's definitely helped me cut down on the number of migraines I get due to the different treatment options he offers. He explains things very clearly and makes an effort to get to know you. I highly recommend.

Sheri W.
I've seen many doctors for my headaches; none previously were helpful or took me seriously. Dr. Cohen was the first doctor that made me feel seen and not cast aside. After a few visits, he got my headaches under control and back to normal. I can't recommend him enough!
