Barrow Brain and Spine
Providing world-class neurosurgery through innovative, compassionate and coordinated care to meet each of our individual patient's needs. While we’re lifelong students in the world of brain and spine advancements, we also drive much of that discovery and achievement through our association with our hospital partners. We diagnose and treat a wide array of complex conditions and have proven, evidence-based outcomes. We’re exhaustive in our process to find the right solution for our patients, whether surgical or non-surgical. We don’t share the following facts to be boastful, but rather to illustrate how we’ve shaped the world of neurosurgery. That’s the type of expertise you should demand as a patient. We perform more than 10,000 procedures per year, giving us the confidence and expertise to handle complex cases that many other centers simply can’t treat. We’ve pioneered numerous procedures and techniques, including the cardiac standstill surgery, neuro-spinal scaffolding implants, the development of a spinal surgery robot, and more. Our surgeons developed new approaches to reach lesions in the difficult-to-reach skull-base area of the brain, enabling removal of what was previously considered inoperable. Through our partnership with Barrow Neurological Institute, patients have access to hundreds of clinical trials, enabling more aggressive treatment options, sooner. Mission: We’re honored to call Barrow our home. It enables us to find answers where all other paths lead to “no.” Here, we strive to make the impossible possible.
