The mission of Wayne State University neurosurgeons is to provide
each patient with the highest quality care while seeking to treat
both the specific neurosurgical condition as well as the individual
as a whole. Our neurosurgeons comprise a team of highly skilled
specialists who offer the most comprehensive neurosurgical care
in the state of Michigan.
These physicians were selected to be part of the Wayne State University
academic medical practice because of their keen interests and advanced
training in neurosurgical subspecialities. These subspecialities
include:
- Spine reconfiguration;
- Stereotactic surgery and radiosurgery;
- Gamma-knife surgery;
- Neurosurgical oncology;
- Skull-base surgery;
- Movement disorders;
- Trauma; and
- Minimally invasive neuroendovascular procedures.
The philosophy
is simple: The more experience you have in treating specific neurological
conditions, the better you are at identifying and treating them
in the future.
Because our neurosurgeons are also faculty members at the Wayne
State University School of Medicine, they are able to pioneer technologies
and perform groundbreaking research in their areas of interest.
In fact, not only are Wayne State University neurosurgeons frequently
invited to speak at national and international conventions, but
fully trained physicians worldwide travel to Detroit to train with
our physicians to learn subspecialty procedures and treatments.
While the expertise of any surgeon is critical, so is the support
staff taking part in each patient's care. Our surgeons have several
dedicated nurses and physicians' assistants working directly with
their patients. The nurses based in the hospital all hold advanced
degrees. The nurses in the office are available by telephone to
answer all questions regarding pre-surgical and post-surgical care
expectations.
In addition, the nursing staff has organized a support group called "Look
Ahead" for their neurosurgical patients. The goal of the support
group is to improve the quality of life by providing the patients,
their families and friends with knowledge and information to successfully
manage their individual neurosurgical conditions.
