Reviews of Mittler Mark A MD (Doctor)

Julia K

This review is long overdue….our son Maximus at the age of 4 months was referred to Dr. Mittler by our pediatrician, after she suspected Max had craniosynostosis. Dr. Mittler confirmed the diagnosis and provided us with all of our options. Given the effects of this diagnosis we decided to go ahead with surgery. During this terrifying time Dr. Mittler was patient, kind, and supportive. He explained everything and answered all of our questions. On the day of surgery, he provided us with support both pre and post operation that was beyond what we could have ever expected. Not only is Dr. Mittler one of the most brilliant doctors out there but he is a genuine decent human who cares greatly for his patients. We cannot thank Dr. Mittler enough for all he has done for our son Max to help ensure he leads a great life. Max is now 18 months and you would never know he had surgery. Dr. Mittler will always have a place in our hearts!

Our son Samuel was diagnosed with craniosynostosis and we were recommended to Dr. Mittler for treatment. Dr. Mittler was very professional and thorough during all of our visits and his bedside manners were very comforting for us as new parents under such stressful circumstances. Dr. Mittler recommended surgery to correct the condition. From all the accolades we heard and read about him and the numerous awards he received as one of the country's top pediatric neurosurgeons we didn't doubt his advice for one minute and we felt that he would give the same advice had it been his own child. Immediately following the surgery Dr. Mittler came out to us smiling to let us know that our beautiful boy was doing well and that the surgery went smoothly. During the recovery we felt really loved and supported by the staff at Cohen's Children's Hospital. We would not hesitate one bit to recommend Dr. Mittler to all our friends and family if their child needs any neurological treatment. Thank God and Dr. Mittler and his staff for taking care of our Samuel.

As a mother, I went crazy when I found out that my baby needed to have a scalp surgery due to an accident. When I went to see Dr. Mittler for the first time, I was really nervous, concerned and confused but Dr. Mittler and his staff were very professional, before, during and after the surgery. Dr. Mittler made everything go so easy, he's such a wonderful doctor and person. Now, my son is 2 years old and he's 100% in good health. Thank you very much Dr. Mittler; you're the best doctor I could ever find.

This is the doctor that saved my daughter Elizabeth's life in 2014. An abscess had settled near my daughter's brain stem. She was paralyzed on her right side. She was having seizures. Dr. Mittler and his team at Cohen's Childens Hospital performed two brain surgeries on my daughter in July of 2014. She spent the next seven months in rehabilitation hospitals learning to walk and talk and eat again. Almost two years later, my daughter is walking with a walker, and walking short distances on her own. She regained much of her memory and all of her movement on her right side. She is back in school, learning and laughing with her friends. But most of all, she is alive and back home with her family. Thank God for Dr. Mittler, his skill, his team, and his kindness that he showed our family while Elizabeth was at Cohen's Childrens Hospital.

Dr mittler is one of the most amazing doctors I have ever met. Besides his professionalism as a neuro surgeon, he has a heart of gold. The way he deals with each patient as if it were his own child, either before, during or after the surgery is something I will never forget. Thank you Dr Mittler!

I don't think there are enough words to say how thankful I am. Dr. Mittler was nothing but patient, kind, caring, I could go on and on. When we found out our 10yr old had chiari malformation, it was a bit nerve wrecking. We were referred to Dr Mittler, and from day 1 he assured us she would be fine. Surgery was successful, she is super happy with her results, as are we. I believe that Dr. Mittler is hands down the best. Forever Greatful....

I am in tears just writing this review... Dr. Mark Mittler, not only is he a GREAT surgeon, but the kindness and love he shows his patients.... PRICELESS!!! You probably will not believe this (still crying) but he performed two brain surgeries on my daughter when she was 5 years old and again when she was 6 years old. He and his team were AMAZING to say the least. She is now 21 years old just graduated from college with her BA and just started graduate school. We write and send pictures to Dr. Mittler every year or so. Tonight I am sending him a graduation picture and a card. I will never forget him, I know that the Lord sent him to our family. In every card I thank him like he just did the surgeries yesterday!! LOL It was a very serious surgery she had...he held our hands through it all even the healing process. Then after the healing. I didn't want her to do anything but sit still and stay inside safe. He called me into his office for a meeting per my husband. "Mom, don't rob her of her childhood. Let her enjoy it." It changed my entire mindset.. I let her enjoy it. Before the surgeries she was in dance classes. After the meeting I let her return. Here is a picture maybe a year after the surgery. Still in tears... so many years later, Thank you Dr. Mittler, you are the real deal!!!

Let me just keep it simple. Dr. Mittler saved my son's life. That's really all that needs to be said, but let me elaborate. Walking into the office of a neurosurgeon oblya day after you found out that they found a tumor in your five year old son's brain was perhaps the hardest thing I have ever done. I felt as if the 50 foot hallway was 50 miles. When you enter Dr. Mittler's exanibaexam room you see that it is littered with awards, articles and commendations for hus work. Seeing that makes you a little at ease; then you tense up as the door opens and he enters the room and right away your first line of defense falls once he turns to you and flashes his confident smile and tells you that your son will be okay. YoulYo believe him, trust me. Then as the news of the diagnosis gets harder to hear you are oddly comforted by Dr. Mittler's confidence, knowledge and his ability to explain this frightening situation in a way that constantly reassures you that all will be okay. You believe him. Then the day of the surgery comes and you see him again and again you feel a little better, but you're still terrified. Then out comes Dr. Mittler and shares the amazing news that he's going to be okay and in a way, hr makes you whole again. Thank you Dr. Mittler. You saved my boy. You saved me.
