Dr. Alan Cohen: Loved Beyond Measure

Dr Alan R. Cohen is the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore, Maryland. His area of specialty is treating infants and children diagnosed with brain tumors and is one of the top pediatric neurosurgeons in the country.  He also does an entertaining Elvis.  Elaborate, fun, practiced performances with his recovering young patients that land him forever in the hearts of the kids he saves.  Ask his patients and their parents.  The skilled, humble surgeon who saves lives is also beloved for making sure kids stay kids through it all.  I first met him on a story almost 20 years ago at the amazing Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital in Cleveland OH.   Dr. Cohen had just saved young Treasure Byrge's life. I'll never forget what this humble genius of a surgeon and genuine Good Stuff soul told me.  "Something was at work in that O-R bigger than any of us."  I stayed friends with Treasure and her mamma Carol because they are good to the bone and I love them.  And get this!!! I've recently figured out I'm also friends with THREE MORE patients/families who have Dr. Cohen to thank for kids who are alive and thriving today.  So.....we brought them all together for a surprise Dr. Cohen appreciation reunion!!!!  

He had no idea but did agree to be part of an interview with patient Emma Anderson to share her story. 

These stories are what's GOOD about healthcare.  The PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE part of treating patients.  So genuine of a CALLING for Dr. Alan Cohen that he is loved AS FAMILY by the very families who are forever grateful for him.
