• Asthma
• Osteoporosis 
• Heart disease
• Hypertension, or high blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Anxiety or depression 
•  Diabetes

At Cohen Concierge, Dr. Cohen offers personalized chronic disease management that takes into account other health problems, the severity of your disease, and your lifestyle. 

What is involved in chronic disease management?

Dr. Cohen offers chronic disease management using a concierge medicine model. This means you pay a set fee for access to her expertise and, as a result, get high-quality, customized care.

She accepts only a set number of patients, so she can get to know each patient more personally and intimately. Each appointment is long enough to learn your concerns and get you the necessary care. 

Dr. Cohen also takes the time to educate you on how to take care of your chronic disease at home and avoid complications or acute problems. Education may include information about nutrition, exercise, and stress management. 

Dr. Cohen oversees all regular screenings and testing to gauge your disease status. These may include blood work, X-rays, ultrasounds, and urine tests. 

She works in coordination with other medical specialists you see for your condition. If you need hospitalization, she provides visitation and coordinates with your inpatient healthcare providers. If you need a referral to a specialist for particular problems, Dr. Cohen can help. 

Chronic disease management also involves reviewing prescription medications and adjusting dosages or types according to changing health needs.
