How We Can Help

Surgical Evaluation

Our neurosurgical providers will evaluate whether surgery is the best course of action to address your symptoms or condition. If a more conservative or less invasive approach is best, your provider will discuss this with you and make the appropriate referrals for you to receive the care you need. If surgery is the best course of action, our experienced and highly-trained neurosurgeons can operate on your head or spine.

Spine Surgery

Common spine surgeries of the neck and back include spinal decompression, spinal fusion, vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty to address vertebral fractures, spinal cord stimulators, and spinal deformity correction. Our surgeons have access to advanced technology, including surgical navigation systems, and use the most advanced techniques when indicated, including minimally invasive surgery.

Brain Surgery

Common surgeries of the head include tumor biopsy or removal, shunt placement to relieve cranial pressure due to illness or trauma, deep brain stimulation, vagal nerve stimulation, and correction of skull deformities, and aneurysm repair. Endovascular revascularization or aneurysm repair to prevent or address a stroke is also performed by a neurosurgeon sub-specializing in this unique type of brain surgery.

Neurovascular Surgery

Our specialist treat a variety of vascular conditions the affect the nervous systems such as brain aneurysms, AVMs and carotid stenosis as well as strokes. This includes the use of minimally invasive techniques using micro-catheters that avoid the need for traditional open brain surgery techniques.
