    Dr. Cohen is one of the best doctors I've had in my life. She was caring, attentive and explained many questions I've had over the past 2 years about my kidney issue and diabetes. I now feel able to cope with the changes needed in lifestyle to maintain a positive attitude and lessen the anxiety I've been experiencing. Dr. Cohen interpreted the lab results from MyChart that were puzzling me. I approached this appointment with some trepidation but felt 100% better when I left.

    Finally after seeing her at least 6 times I am starting to feel like she is helping me more and I may continue being her patient? My previous kidney Dr. Set the bar really high and I saw him 17 years. Initially Dr. Cohen couldn't even begin to match his high level of care in any way. As of the last appointment she took a little more time with me to discuss my blood pressure medicine and adding a second one eventually.
