Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Aaron Cohen provides expert, compassionate care for a range of conditions common in older adults, with a focus on managing symptoms and maintaining function. Common areas of focus include:
- Insomnia: Insomnia can disrupt your daily life, making it hard to concentrate and enjoy your favorite activities, but with a healthcare provider's guidance, you can find solutions tailored to your specific needs for better sleep.
- Asthma: If you have asthma, it means your lungs' airways become narrow and inflamed, making it hard to breathe, but regular treatment can significantly improve your lung function and quality of life.
- Ear Ache: Experiencing ear pain? It's important to seek medical attention to determine the cause and get appropriate treatment, potentially avoiding hearing loss or further discomfort.

- Leukocytopenia: A low white blood cell count, or leukocytopenia, can increase your susceptibility to infections, but with careful management and attention to preventive measures, you can significantly reduce your risk and live a fulfilling life.

- Chronic Venous Embolism Thrombosis: Blood clots that don't fully resolve in the veins (chronic venous embolism thrombosis) can cause swelling and pain, but your doctor can create a treatment plan that may include medication and lifestyle adjustments to help you feel better and stay mobile.
- Genital Herpes: Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection that causes sores or blisters on the genitals, which can be managed with antiviral medications to reduce outbreaks and discomfort.
- Chronic Pain: For seniors, chronic pain can be a major challenge, but with proper medical attention and a personalized treatment plan, including pain management techniques and lifestyle adjustments, you can regain a sense of well-being and continue doing the activities you enjoy.
- Magnesium Metabolism Disorders: Managing magnesium levels often involves dietary changes, supplements under a doctor's guidance, and addressing any underlying health conditions that might be contributing to the imbalance.
- Pharyngitis: A sore throat, medically known as pharyngitis, can be uncomfortable, but thankfully, many cases clear up on their own with home care like staying hydrated and resting your voice.
