At the Atlas Institute of Brain and Spine in Los Angeles, we specialize in spinal and peripheral nerve surgery, addressing complex conditions with advanced surgical expertise. Led by Dr. Aaron Cohen-Gadol, a globally recognized neurosurgeon with over 7,500 complex brain surgeries to his name, our practice is committed to providing exemplary care for patients navigating spinal and peripheral nerve disorders. Dr. Cohen-Gadol is also the founder of The Neurosurgical Atlas, the world’s largest neurosurgical education resource, and has influenced over 100,000 patient lives globally.
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.
