• Aneurysm - Bulging or weakened areas in blood vessels of the brain that can rupture if untreated. Our specialists provide careful monitoring and advanced surgical and endovascular treatment options.
• Brain hemorrhages - Bleeding in or around the brain caused by injury or medical conditions. Prompt evaluation and expert care are critical to reducing complications and supporting recovery.
• Brain and spine tumors - Benign and malignant tumors affecting the brain, spinal cord, or surrounding structures. We offer comprehensive surgical care as part of a coordinated treatment plan.
• Chiari malformation - A structural condition where brain tissue extends into the spinal canal, potentially causing headaches, balance issues, and neurological symptoms. Treatment is tailored to symptom severity. [Patient brochure: English | Spanish]
• Epilepsy - A neurological condition marked by recurring seizures. Our team evaluates complex cases and offers advanced surgical options when medications are not effective.
• Head trauma - Injuries to the brain or skull caused by accidents or falls. We provide expert assessment and surgical care when needed to support recovery and long‑term function.
• Hydrocephalus - A buildup of fluid in the brain that increases pressure and can affect brain function. Surgical treatment helps restore normal fluid flow and relieve symptoms.
• Movement disorders - Conditions such as tremor or dystonia that affect movement control. Advanced therapies, including surgical options, may improve symptoms and quality of life.
• Nerve sheath tumors - Tumors that develop on the protective lining of nerves. Treatment focuses on relieving pain, preserving nerve function, and removing tumors when appropriate.
• Scoliosis - Abnormal curvature of the spine that can progress over time. Our specialists evaluate severity and offer surgical options for complex or advanced cases.
• Spinal disc herniation, stenosis, and degeneration - Conditions that compress nerves and cause pain, weakness, or numbness. Treatment ranges from non‑surgical care to advanced spine surgery.
• Spinal fractures and instability - Injuries or conditions that weaken the spine’s structure. Surgical stabilization may be needed to protect the spinal cord and restore alignment.
• Stroke - A medical emergency caused by blocked or ruptured blood vessels in the brain. Rapid intervention and specialized care can reduce long‑term effects.
• Trigeminal neuralgia - A chronic pain condition affecting facial nerves. Surgical options may help relieve severe, persistent facial pain when other treatments fail.
• Vascular malformation - Abnormal connections between blood vessels in the brain or spine. Specialized evaluation and treatment help reduce the risk of bleeding or neurological damage.

We offer advanced neurosurgery and spine services using proven techniques and innovative approaches. Each procedure is guided by your condition, goals, and overall health.

• Artificial disc replacement - A surgical option that replaces damaged spinal discs while preserving motion, helping reduce pain and improve mobility in select patients.
• Brain and spine tumor surgery - Precise surgical removal of tumors affecting the brain or spine, with a focus on protecting surrounding tissue and neurological function.
• Carotid artery stenting - A minimally invasive procedure that opens narrowed carotid arteries to help reduce the risk of stroke.
• Cerebrovascular surgery - Surgical treatment for disorders of blood vessels in the brain, including aneurysms and vascular malformations.
• Cervical spine surgery - Surgery targeting the neck region of the spine to relieve pressure on nerves or the spinal cord and restore stability.
• Coiling - An endovascular technique used to treat brain aneurysms by preventing blood flow into weakened vessel areas.
• Complex and minimally invasive spine surgery - Advanced surgical approaches designed to reduce tissue disruption, shorten recovery time, and improve outcomes when surgery is needed.
• Decompression surgery - Procedures that relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves caused by stenosis, herniated discs, or other conditions.
• Deep brain stimulation (DBS) - A surgical therapy that uses implanted electrodes to help manage movement disorders such as tremor when other treatments are ineffective.
• Endoscopic surgery - Minimally invasive surgery using small instruments and cameras to treat certain brain and spine conditions with less disruption to surrounding tissue.
• Neuroendovascular surgery - Catheter‑based treatments performed inside blood vessels to address aneurysms, strokes, and other vascular conditions.
• Stroke thrombectomy - An emergency procedure that removes blood clots from the brain to restore blood flow and limit stroke damage.
