Astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas are significant types of malignant gliomas originating from glial cells in the central nervous system. For patients in Los Angeles seeking advanced treatment options, the Atlas Institute of Brain and Spine, led by the renowned Dr. Aaron Cohen Gadol, offers unparalleled expertise in managing these complex brain tumors. With over 7,500 complex brain surgeries performed, Dr. Cohen Gadol is internationally recognized for his extensive experience and advanced techniques, ensuring that our practice provides comprehensive solutions tailored to each individual.
Dr. Cohen gave me my life back. It’s cliché, but the truest explanation of the amazing work he and his entire team did for me. He performed a very tricky Microvascular decompression of my glossopharyngeal nerve. I have had zero symptoms since surgery!
I am convinced Dr. Cohen is the best of the best, and feel so grateful and lucky to have been and continue to be able to call him my doctor. Someone at this high of a level who remains so friendly and compassionate is not common. You cannot be in better hands than Dr. Cohen and his team. Forever grateful.
Advanced Treatments for Astrocytoma in Los Angeles
