    Great guy, he was able to spend the time to discuss my issues. Providing examples from his history. Spoke clearly and had a sense of humor about him. Love this guy, he was like Dr. Pepitone who I miss that he chose to retire. This doctor was like him. Don’t let him retire….ever!

    I haven't met Dr. Robert Howard Cohen, but he did a teledoc visit with me regarding my bronchitis on [omitted]. Dr. Nouh was out of the office, so Dr. Cohen called in a prescription for Amoxicillin. Dr. Cohem was very kind, knowledgeable and professional. The prescription was available for pick up the next afternoon.
