Dr. Vogel has developed a robust academic pediatric neurosurgery program built on a multidisciplinary team approach — bringing together neurosurgeon specialists, pediatricians, and oncologists to ensure families have coordinated, clear care plans for their children. He has introduced novel minimally invasive pediatric neurosurgical and craniofacial treatments that he helped to describe, several of which are now considered the gold standard of care.
Dr. Vogel believes a strong physician-patient-family relationship is critical to positive outcomes. He empowers families to fully understand their child’s condition and all available options — prioritizing minimally invasive approaches whenever possible to maximize benefit and reduce recovery time.
Dr. Vogel is a surgeon-scientist whose work extends beyond the operating room into the research lab. Together with pediatric neuro-oncologist Dr. Derek Hanson and CDI research scientist Dr. Claire Carter, he co-founded the pediatric neuro-oncology laboratory at Hackensack Meridian Health’s Center for Discovery and Innovation (CDI), the first lab of its kind in New Jersey. Made possible through Tackle Kids Cancer, the lab’s mission is to advance research that meets the clinical needs of children with central nervous system tumors.
Its initial focus is Embryonal Tumor with Multilayered Rosettes (ETMR), an exceptionally aggressive brain tumor that most often affects children under four and carries a survival rate of less than 10%. Dr. Vogel’s dual role as a pediatric neurosurgeon and researcher means that what is learned at the bench is directly informed by what he sees in the clinic, and vice versa, with the goal of improving outcomes for children facing some of the most challenging brain tumors.
