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 from surveys submitted by patient families and verified by our survey partner National Research Corporation (NRC Health), an independent company that specializes in patient experience. 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 using percent positive scoring. Percent positive is the percentage of respondents who answered with the most desirable response. We are committed to transparency and sharing the voices of our patients and families. Comments are reviewed before posting to ensure accuracy, privacy, and relevance. To provide meaningful feedback, comments are displayed on provider profiles once a sufficient number have been received. All feedback is also shared internally to support learning, recognition, and continuous improvement. The comments reflect the experiences and perspectives of the patients and families who submitted them. The comments are not endorsed by and do not reflect the views of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
