The Emory Department of Neurological Surgery is one of the leading clinics of its kind in the region. But what really makes us unique?

People
While all members of our medical staff are trained in multiple aspects of general neurosurgery, each neurosurgeon also has a special area of interest, expertise, and training. In other words, our physicians are able to subspecialize in a particular condition and/or procedure--giving them the ability to only focus on one disorder (e.g., epilepsy or stroke) and/or one surgical procedure (e.g., electrical stimulation). This makes them remarkably knowledgeable --and successful--at what they do.

Organization
Neurological conditions are often multifactorial, so it takes a team of doctors who are trained in specific factors or areas of an individual condition to provide optimal treatment. Our surgeons also work closely with neurointensivists, interventional radiologists, nurses, and other staff members who are specifically trained in individual areas of neurological care, which helps to enhance efficiency and accuracy. This team-centered organization translates to individualized care through every step of your treatment.

Experience
The exceptional care we provide also stems from our exceptional expertise. Whereas some hospitals perform specialized procedures on a monthly or yearly basis, as a high-volume neurological center, Emory's neurosurgeons perform them daily. Our neurosurgeons specialize in various clinical areas, including:

• Surgery and adjuvant treatment for brain tumors
• Stroke management and surgical treatments of aneurysms and vascular malformations
• Pediatric neurosurgery
• Head and neck pain
• Stereotactic radiosurgery

Technology and Research
The Emory Department of Neurological Surgery offers extensive research and education programs that are among the best in the world. We are a national leader in neurological research, generating new insight into brain-related diseases and disorders and developing new procedures and medications for their treatment. Our physicians and scientists examine the causes and workings of specific neurological disorders as they aim to find more effective treatments for these conditions.
