5.0 star star star star starDr Cohen is very thorough. He asked a lot of questions and answered a lot of questions. He spent a lot of time with me. I never felt like he was rushing to get on to the next patient. I appreciated that.

5.0 star star star star starI have never had a doctor be so calm, so attentive, so caring, and so informative. He made sure his attention was fully on me when I asked all my questions. And he made me feel that my health was important to him. He explained my mri scans to me thoroughly and clearly, understanding that it is a sensitive situation for me and that the brain can be confusing! I feel so safe in his care and I am so happy he is my MS doctor.

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.
