Neurosurgery

Our team of neurosurgeons, scientists, practitioners, and support staff is devoted to providing the best neurosurgical care for adults and children with all types of neurological disorders of the central (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous systems, as well as the blood vessels supplying them.

Each of our neurosurgeons is highly specialized, and many are internationally recognized as experts in their fields. Patients receive the best in neurosurgical care, resulting in consistently excellent outcomes.

Reliable and compassionate staff facilitate neurosurgical care and promptly coordinate multidisciplinary appointments, typically within a week, to minimize patient wait times. Inpatient care is provided in a state-of-the-art hospital setting with cutting-edge resources, including a dedicated Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit staffed by highly specialized neurointensivists and neuro-focused staff.

We accept and treat every patient, and readily accept referrals from other neurosurgeons and physicians in Connecticut and beyond. We provide prompt consultation and management for high-risk, complicated conditions that require our expertise and experience.
