“Dr. Cohen listened and responded to my question, and to my descriptions of what I felt were the physical conditions affecting my life right now. It was our first meeting. On arriving, I was immediately told he was running behind schedule, and I got the impression with an office of this size it happens a lot. I have been going to this office for quite a few years, and he is the third GP I have dealt with, and he just started. I hope in future visits, there is more opportunity to hear about his previous experience, but I felt he properly dealt with my situation.”

About Dr. Robert Cohen
Rob Cohen, MD MPH, is a board-certified preventive medicine physician who has worked in the National Capital Region since 2011. He graduated with an undergraduate degree in biochemistry from Harvard College, received his MD from Columbia University, and his Master's of Public Health from Johns Hopkins University. He completed his residency in Preventive Medicine as an Active Duty Army Officer through Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and the Army Institute of Research, and became board-certified in 2014. He deployed as an Army Physician to Kuwait and Iraq in 2015 as part of Operation Inherent Resolve, which recaptured Western Iraq from ISIS. He then spent the next decade at USAID, first working on maternal and child health, then on COVID-19, Ebola, HIV, malaria, plague, and primary care. He has been working in primary care since 2015.
Dr. Cohen is an accomplished physician-scientist, with sixteen peer-reviewed publications, who combines cutting-edge biochemistry and medical science with compassionate care. He has many passions, including optimizing the biochemistry of all primary care issues in adults and children, treating and reducing chronic pain, and promotion of health and well-being with thoughtful prevention and wellness. As a scientist, he regularly reads the latest developments in medical science, and evaluates which are ready for implementation with patients, and which have not yet reached that threshold.
Dr. Cohen has a personal story of medical recovery that drives and informs his approach to patient care. After herniating a disc in his back in 2018, he could barely walk for months, and developed severe and chronic pain. He learned everything there was to learn about the back, and combined the science from the world's most rigorous biomechanics experts with emerging neuroscience around chronic pain. After a determined three-year recovery, he is now fully recovered and a certified Zumba instructor.
