Our team at the department of neurological Surgery is among the most experienced and highly regarded in the country. Several characteristics of our team make it unique to the region:

Teamwork
There's no "I" in team, nor is there one physician who is an expert in all areas of neurosurgery. But by combining their knowledge and skills, our team members are able to provide patients with individualized, expert care.

Experience
The exceptional care we provide also stems from our exceptional expertise. Whereas some hospitals perform neurosurgical procedures on a monthly or yearly basis, the physicians at the Emory Department of Neurological Surgery perform them daily. With so much first-hand experience, patients who come to Emory have better chances for more accurate diagnoses and successful outcomes.
 
Advanced Research
Our physicians are also involved with clinical research in an ongoing mission to advance the care of neurological disorders.

Our Additional Team Members

Our neurosurgeons work closely with interventional neurologists,  neurointensivists, and other neuroscience physicians who specialize in complementary areas of care. Our physicians are also aided by nurses, nurse practitioners, and rehabilitative therapists who only attend to patients with neurological conditions. This specialized, collaborative structure enables us to provide our patients with the most appropriate care every step of the way.
