About Alyssa R. Rosen, MD

Alyssa R. Rosen, MD, is a pediatric neurologist in the Division of Neurology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). She specializes in caring for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities and epilepsy, particularly when the two occur together.

Dr. Rosen has a passion for witnessing neurodevelopment unfold in children, both in typical patterns, in patterns that fit with developmental differences that we understand and know how to support, and in unique variations.

It’s important to her that the families she works with know their children are getting the best possible care.

“I want them to feel their child has a cohesive, dedicated team that truly cares,” Dr. Rosen says.

Along with her work at CHOP, Dr. Rosen is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

She is involved in clinical research in autism spectrum disorders. With so much to discover about the role of genetics in brain development, Dr. Rosen is enthusiastic about the promise of harnessing these discoveries to treat neurological disorders.

“I am excited to someday be better able to provide guidance to families about treatment and prognosis based on genetics,” she says.

About the Patient Experience Rating System

The Patient Experience Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions shown above from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score. We are committed to true transparency. However, to ensure the comments are fair and correctly attributed, we review each one before posting to the website. We exclude entire comments that disclose patient’s protected health information, are off-topic, or include other confidential or inappropriate content. Comments will appear on provider bios only if providers have a minimum number of comments. Comments are shared internally for education purposes to ensure that we are doing our very best for the patients and families for whom we are privileged to care. The comments are submitted by patients and families and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not reflect the views of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
