40+

YEARS IN MEDICINE

A PHYSICIAN’S PATH

A career shaped by science, experience, and listening.

Dr. Cohen’s work has always centered on the same question: what will help this person move forward with greater clarity and confidence?

After earning his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree, Dr. Cohen completed an obstetrics and gynecology residency at a Yale University–affiliated hospital. He later served as a department chairman in obstetrics, gynecology, and pediatrics and directed the Center for Integrative Therapies at Longmont United Hospital.

​

Across a 30-year career in obstetrics, he assisted nearly 10,000 women and families in childbirth. His work also included caring for Shoshoni and Arapaho women in Wyoming and Māori women in New Zealand—experiences that strengthened his respect for culture, context, and whole-person care.

​

In 2009, he founded Holos Health in Boulder. Today, he brings that clinical foundation to cannabinoid medicine and micro-dose consultations, helping patients navigate emerging therapies with education, careful review, and practical next steps.
