Melissa F. Cohen, MD

About Me

I have always been interested in fitness, nutrition, science, and education. This led me to become an endocrinologist, a doctor who specializes in managing hormone-related diseases and conditions. I enjoy the challenges of making a diagnosis and creating personalized treatment plans for patients.

I care for adults who have thyroid disorders, thyroid cancer, osteoporosis, calcium and parathyroid disorders, diabetes mellitus, adrenal and pituitary disorders, and obesity. In addition, I treat male and female reproductive disorders, including polycystic ovary syndrome and hypogonadism. I also manage transgender health.

To diagnose a condition, I may recommend blood tests and imaging. I often collaborate with colleagues, including endocrine surgeons, pathologists, radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists, cardiologists, and primary care doctors. This enables me to provide comprehensive and innovative care.

I am dedicated to offering my patients the latest therapies. I educate them about their condition and explain what they can expect throughout their treatment. I enjoy getting to know my patients personally and empowering them to take control of their health.

I am a member of several endocrine societies, including the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology, the American Thyroid Association, and the Endocrine Society.
