As in any branch of science, the discipline of neurosurgery and spine surgery requires continued learning, even among the already licensed surgeons. Dr. Anders Cohen understands the importance of this, and has thus engaged himself in a mission to help transform neurosurgery into a growing field of science.
Dr. Cohen presently serves as a neurosurgeon for the Brooklyn Hospital Center, where he is chief of the Neurosurgery Department, and the St. Barnabas Hospital in Bronx, New York. In these facilities, he performs minimally invasive surgery, neurological surgery, percutaneous discectomy surgery and percutaneous disc decompression, among other procedures designed to treat a variety of neurological and spine conditions. He also treats children patients, having completed fellowship training in pediatric surgery, and teaches at the Weill Cornell Medical Center where he is an assistant professor in neurosurgery.
But when he is not in the operating room or in the medical school’s lecture halls, Dr. Cohen is most likely attending local and international conferences, introducing a variety of state-of-the-art techniques to further improve the science of neurosurgery and spine surgery. Dr. Anders Cohen is also an active member of the American Medical Association, the American Osteopathic Association, the New York State Osteopathic Medical Society, and the Cervical Spine Research Society, through which he promotes and shares his expertise on advanced surgical procedures.
In fact, Dr. Anders is the first New York City physician to perform the extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) and Trans1 procedures to treat the lumbar spine. He likewise pioneered the lumbar and cervical decompression, discectomy, fusion and motion preservation and dynamic rod procedures.
Through his knowledge and contributions to the field of neurosurgery and spine surgery, Dr. Cohen has doubtlessly helped hundreds of adult and pediatric patients live more productive lives.
