Dr. Cohan is the reason I'm walking. Nearly 13 years ago within a week of my 1st MS attack I was unable to use anything below my neck. Instead of running multiple MRIs on my head, he decided to check the neck for lesions. When one doctor gave me no hope for recovery his continued efforts are the reason I have mostly recovered. Continues to give me hope although the disease is progressing. His aggressive treatment approach is what is needed for my care. He carefully explains the reason for changes to myself and family and we think the world of him.
