Care Philosophy
Neurosurgeons recognize that not all problems require or are best treated with surgery and so we work closely with a variety of allied professionals to offer the best solutions possible to our patients. Patients too often encounter a Neurosurgeon for the first time in the aftermath of a serious medical emergency. We try to treat patients with the compassion and dignity with which we ourselves would want to be treated.
