[RBS] They told us eczema, but Dr. Robert Cohen knew better!

[Yael and Yehonasan Crow]

Over a course of a year, we were told by three excellent (and I mean that 
sincerely) doctors (including a dermatologist) that my child had eczema.  We 
were given steroid creams to treat him when things got bad enough. 
Sometimes he got the rash on his stomach, and sometimes it spread to other 
parts of his body – at least one time it was all over his body, including 
behind his ears.

Arthur Jacobs (thank you, Arthur Jacobs!) recommended some excellent cream 
that helped us avoid the steroids much of the time, but my child was still 
suffering, and we weren’t happy giving the steroid creams.

Over the Shabbos table one day, my mother (thank you, Mommy!) mentioned that 
there was a new allergist in town, Dr. Robert Cohen, who had an excellent 
reputation in Georgia.  I had no idea if he could help with eczema, but 
during the week, I decided to call his office and ask.  I thought I would be 
telling my problems to his secretary, but he called me back and gave me a 
lot of time and asked me many questions.  Just from speaking on the phone, 
he said his gut reaction was that it wasn’t eczema but rather a nickel 
allergy.

Approximately six months ago, my husband and I took our child to Dr. Cohen 
to be tested.  Dr. Cohen did diagnose a nickel allergy.  After making some 
minor changes (e.g., trousers without metal closures, covering the back of 
my son’s watch, etc.), I am very happy to say that my son has been cured of 
his “eczema”.

We would like to publicly thank and heartily recommend Dr. Robert Cohen! 
And thank you to Hashem for sending us such a wonderful shaliach!

Sincerely,
