Spine and Disc Diseases
Spinal conditions are some of the most costly and painful musculoskeletal problems today. We offer comprehensive spine care provided by world-class experts. We are proud that four of our neurosurgeons received the Physician Recognition Award from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) - Back Pain Recognition Program (BPRP). NCQA identifies physicians who provide high-value, patient-centered care for patients with back pain.
Brain and Spinal Tumors
Collaborating with radiation oncology specialists, neuro-oncologists use some of the most advanced neuroimaging, stereotactic radiosurgery, and image-guided stereotaxis for treating malignant tumors of the brain and spine.
Stroke and Brain Aneurysm
Modern surgical options for treating cerebral aneurysms have vastly improved patient outcomes and recovery. Micro-neurosurgical clipping blocks the blood flow at the aneurysm neck using a tiny titanium clip, while endovascular coil embolization is a newer technique that eliminates aneurysms through tiny microcatheters using platinum microcoils.
