Welcome to the Atlas Institute of Brain and Spine in Los Angeles, where we specialize in addressing a wide range of brain and spine conditions and treatments. Under the leadership of Dr. Aaron Cohen-Gadol, a board-certified neurosurgeon and the founder of the Atlas Institute, renowned for his commitment to transforming the lives of patients, our team is dedicated to providing personalized and advanced care for patients facing complex neurological challenges.
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.
