Premier Neurosurgery Center

The Bayfront neurosurgery program is considered on par with major academic centers around the country. High-tech medical equipment, dedicated neuroscience units (both critical care and progressive) and a skilled team of nurses and doctors create an exceptional environment for patients recovering from neurological and neurosurgical conditions. The hospital has invested in the resources necessary to create a top quality service.

 

From Basic to Complex

Neurosurgery is the surgical specialty concerned with diagnosing and treating patients with an injury or condition related to the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.

 

Bayfront-affiliated neurosurgeons (all board-eligible and board-certified) are experienced in performing a wide spectrum of procedures – from minimally invasive techniques, such as micro-disc surgery, to the more complex spinal fusions, brain and spinal cord surgery, as well as Gamma Knife surgery.
