Why choose a Neurosurgeon?

Neurosurgery has one of the longest training periods of any medical specialty due to the extreme complexity of the nervous system and the advanced techniques used in neurosurgical operations. 

The public knows the Neurosurgeon as a brain surgeon.  However, the Neurosurgeon does much more than brain surgery.

Back and neck pain are common complaints. The cause is primarily due to stress, injury, or degeneration of the spine.  When the spine is the source of pain, it’s a nerve problem – not a bone problem.
