Our daughter suffers from epilepsy so it was important to us to secure a trusted English-speaking physician in advance of her studying abroad. We met with Dr. Cohen and were blown away by his knowledge of her condition and his compassion. Before our daughter left for Copenhagen, she was armed with medical contact information organized for her on her phone and he had connected us with two doctors in Copenhagen. He also identified doctors in all the countries she was visiting and had contacted them on her behalf incase she had an issue. She had forgotten her medication while traveling to Berlin. We contacted Dr. Cohen who called his contact in Berlin. This doctor saw my daughter immediately and was able to prescribe her medication. It is so hard to get medication abroad so this was a big deal to us. We are extremely grateful for Dr. Cohen and will continue to rely on his advise.

I left for Barcelona armed with all my medical information organized on my phone as well as a list of doctors in my abroad locations should I experience a medical issue. When I lost my prescription in Barcelona, I knew which doctor to call due to the contact information I had from MyAbroadMD’s. I did not have to bother my parents with this issue, rather I had the tools to advocate for myself. I feel this is an extremely important resource. When I make a copy of my passport for travel, I also connect with MyAbroadMD’s as part of my travel preparations.

My son arrived in Florence and fell down the stairs in his apartment. We were unsure if he had a concussion. A friend had told me about MD Medical Navigators so I immediately reached out. Within the hour, my son was connected to a physician who coordinated all the tests my son needed. My son did not have a concussion but this situation did make us realize how important it is to have medical care abroad should an emergency occur. Three weeks later, my son had a cut that got infected and turned into MRSA. We were grateful we had Dr. Cohen’s support. He was available to answer additional questions about MRSA and with antibiotics, our son was able to focus on his adventure rather than his healing.

Our family finally was able to travel to Europe after COVID. On our first day, our youngest daughter started having terrible ear pain. I had no idea where to begin. Our hotel concierge called a doctor affiliated with the hotel, but this doctor was unavailable until the evening. A friend connected me to Dr. Cohen. He sent me a list of English-speaking doctors in Madrid. I called a practice that saw my daughter immediately. They even gave her a first dose of antibiotic. This is a great service. We won’t travel without contacting Dr. Cohen first.

I wasn’t sure if I needed this service for my child until within the week she got to Florence, she got a urinary tract infection. We notified Dr. Cohen and the doctor he had put us in touch with in advance. The doctor actually came to my daughters apartment with medical tests, probiotics, and medications for her. This was extraordinary care and confirmed to me that I had made the right decision. This is an incredible service that I recommend to any family who wants to empower their children abroad.

After relocating to London, I found I needed a team of doctors after experiencing headaches, stomach issues and chronic back pain. While the firm I worked with had a doctor they had formed a relationship with, I needed more. Dr. Cohen connected me to a number of physicians in London. He also arranged for potential care in countries I was visiting incase I needed support. It is stressful to be in a foreign country with a health issue but Dr. Cohen and Cori made my experience manageable.
