MD Joshua Cohen is the most caring, knowledgeable, primary care MD that I have had in my [redacted] years of seeing physicians. He took extra time to administer a Mini Mental Status test because I had concerns about my memory. He is a true blessing in my waning life. I feel very secure going into an uncertain future with his help and care. [redacted]

He takes his time with me, understands what I've been through, lets me get some things off my chest, makes sure I have my proper medication, does my blood work, sees me on time, sits down and actually gets to hear me out. He's just been amazing these past few years, and each nurse that comes in before him has done a tremendous job as well. So I appreciate it. Thank you.
