I went to Dr. Alen Cohen for thyroid surgery for my thyroid cancer after consultations with mutliple doctors. I read a lot about him before going in and he is the most knowledgeable and technically skillful surgeon I have met to date. I had a total thyroidectomy and central neck dissection and everything went great. My incision is only 2 inches and no voice problems. The lymph nodes were negative and just waiting for my radioactive iodine. If you need a thyroid surgeon, he is the person to see in Los Angeles.
