Alanna Kohler, PA

I am a hardworking and enthusiastic PA-C who has been interested in providing surgical care to patients since graduating from the Marist College Physician Assistant Program in 2018. I am passionate about providing compassionate, equitable and patient-centered care.

Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
My patient-centered focus in clinical care is at the forefront of my practice when caring for patients. I treat everyone as if they were a family member and look to treat everyone with compassion.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
My patients should expect to be heard and provided with the utmost care and compassion. I treat all my patients like they are one of my own family. I believe it is easy for them to treat me with the same care and respect.

How do you spend your valuable personal time when you’re not caring for patients?
I spend my time with my family and creating memories.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I chose surgery because these patients need someone who can listen and explain their diagnosis which may be of a complicated nature, and one that may require long-term follow-up and continued care.
