Breakthrough Procedures and More
Dr. Anders Cohen Performs Breakthrough Procedures and More
Dr. Anders Cohen is a Brooklyn-based neurosurgeon and spine surgery specialist, with reputation for excellence that goes well beyond his area of practice. A proud alumnus of the well-known New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine, he now works at the Brooklyn Hospital Center, where he serves as the chief specialist for spinal and neurosurgery. Among his roster of patients are professional athletes suffering from spine injuries. The doctor also specializes in pediatric surgeries, aside from treating conditions in adults.
As he keeps himself updated with the latest techniques and technology in his profession, Dr. Cohen veers away from the old-fashioned, highly invasive surgeries that require large incisions on the patient’s back or abdominal area. Traditional procedures are more costly, and expose the patient to risks of developing potential complications, as well as to longer recovery times.
In contrast, Dr. Anders Cohen is equipped with the know-how to perform minimally invasive surgeries, some of which are considered breakthroughs in his field. In fact, he is the first doctor in New York to treat the lumbar spine using the extreme lateral interbody fusion and Trans1 procedures. By delivering medical services like these, patients are not subjected to prolonged bed rest and extreme pain after the surgery. Some are even able to leave the hospital after 24 hours, and return to their usual routines after a couple of weeks.
With his impressive reputation, the good doctor is definitely seen as an authority is his field. When he is not busy performing surgeries, he serves as assistant professor of neurosurgery at the Weill Cornell Medical Center. Dr. Anders Cohen also delivers lectures on the newest techniques in spine surgeries in order to help hone the skills of his fellow surgeons. These doctors are most likely to emerge as fine practioners themselves, having learned from one of the best neurosurgeons in the world.
