Neurological care

Our highly skilled team provides comprehensive diagnostics, advanced surgery and a neurosurgical intensive care unit (NSICU). We offer a wide range of neurological services, including:

• Deep brain stimulation
• Epilepsy treatment
• Neuroendovascular procedures
• Neurointerventional surgery
• Neurological rehabilitation
• Spine surgery
• Stroke treatment

The neurosurgery team at our hospital uses leading-edge techniques to perform surgeries on the brain and spine. Advanced imaging technology enables our surgeons to perform procedures, such as tumor removal, with precision. We are also equipped to perform highly specialized back surgeries, including spinal fusions.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS)

DBS is used to treat movement disorders when other methods of treatment have been unsuccessful. During this procedure, electrodes are implanted in specific areas of the brain. These electrodes produce electrical impulses that control abnormal brain activity. DBS can be used to treat conditions such as Parkinson's disease and epilepsy.

Neuroendovascular surgeries are minimally invasive procedures used to treat complex brain and spine conditions. These procedures are performed by threading small wires and catheters through arteries and veins. Benefits may include lower complication rates and a faster recovery than with traditional forms of surgery.

We are a certified Comprehensive Stroke Center by The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association. We are also recognized by the American Heart Association as a Get With The Guidelines - Stroke program.

Our emergency room (ER) is ready 24/7 to treat you if you are experiencing a stroke. We are proud to offer advanced stroke treatments, such as intravenous (IV) thrombolytic therapy. Our neurologists also offer stroke support groups and inpatient rehabilitation for stroke recovery.

After a stroke or neurological diagnosis, rehabilitation can play an important role in your recovery. Our inpatient rehabilitation program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) for adult inpatient rehabilitation and as a stroke specialty program.
