Alexandros Powers

I think of Dr.Powers often and believe God guided me to Dr. Powers. Dr.Powers saw how bad my condition was and operated on me less than 24 hours after examining me. I had been writing in vain for other specialists to take me seriously (8 months) and was rapidly losing control over my arms. The last neurologist that examined me couldn´t get me in for 6 weeks, but Dr. Powers recognized I was going to be permanently disabled and rescued me. I was immediately better post surgery and shortly...

Wonderful Doctor kind and compassionate

I was very sad to learn that Dr. Powers passed away. He did my first back surgery in 2004. He was very personable and easy to talk to about the challenges with my back. I just found out that he was gone and will never be able to replace him. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

In reading so many messages below, no words can even match the countless "lives" that Dr. Powers touched and healed. It is remarkable that he achieved so much in his short span of life. May God provide peace and solace to his family members.

He was the best doctor and wonderful person Just the other day I was saying just that So he is not forgotten nor will he ever be May he rest in heavenly peace.

As the expression goes "time flies", yet memories remain, and I cherish every moment I got to spend with Dr. Powers. In each of our lives we might encounter people, who make a profound impact, Dr. Powers in my life is one those individuals, a person who made me smile. May God bless his family.

Thinking of you Dr. Powers. Thank you will never be enough for literally saving my life. You were truly one in a million." RIP.

I had a herniated disc and was admitted to Sibley Hospital. Lucky for me, Dr. Powers was the neurosurgeon on duty. He performed a laminectomy and I never again had any pain. He was the best neurosurgeon and person I've ever met. We joked about his being from Pittsburgh as I was born about 40 miles north of there. He had all of the qualities of the best of the best doctors (neurosurgeons). I am deeply saddened to just learn of his death and send belated condolences to his family. I am...

As I sit at my desk and write my personal statement for physician assistant (PA) school, I am reminded of why I wanted to pursue medicine. When I was 13 years old, I had a serious back injury, for which I became a patient of Dr. Powers. Amidst apathetic surgeons and specialists, Dr. Powers was warm, calm, caring, and the only doctor who took the time to describe what was wrong with me and how he was going to fix me. He was the best doctor I ever had and is the reason why I want to be a...
