When your healthcare provider suggested you see a neurosurgeon, you might have felt confused, overwhelmed or downright scared. It can be hard to process the idea that you might need surgery on your brain, spine or nerves. Cleveland Clinic’s neurosurgery care team understands your worries and is skilled in treatments that involve surgery — and those that don’t. Our team is made up of trusted specialists who’ll take the time to understand your symptoms, evaluate your treatment options and work with you to determine the next steps. Maybe that means surgery. And maybe not. But either way, you’ll know your care is in the right hands.
Why Choose Cleveland Clinic for Neurosurgery Care?
Comprehensive treatment:
Sometimes, surgery is the best or only option. But other times, treatments like medication, physical therapy or steroid injections may be all you need. Our team of expert neurosurgeons and other providers works with you to determine your best treatment plan and involve you in all conversations about your care. So, you can be confident that your treatment is tailored to meet your specific needs.
Skilled collaborative providers:
From your first meeting with our team, we’ll care for you as a whole person. We’ll work with your other providers to make sure your treatment will be safe and effective for you. And if you do need surgery, we’ll keep in touch throughout your recovery to make sure your follow-up care, like physical therapy or occupational therapy, is helping you to live your best life.
Innovation and research:
Cleveland Clinic’s brain, spine and nerve specialists are recognized nationwide and across the globe as experts in neurological care. We actively research the newest treatments and offer the opportunity for our patients who qualify to take part in clinical trials.
High-volume specialty:
Our providers see more than 140,000 people each year — making us one of the top places to get neurological care in the United States. That means our team has lots of experience diagnosing and treating the condition that affects your life.
Minimally invasive options:
Neurosurgery isn’t always a major, complicated procedure. Cleveland Clinic’s neurosurgery team has the technology and expertise to do some operations in less-invasive ways. They’re experts at using camera scopes, robot-assisted surgeries and laser ablation for precise surgical care. That means shorter recovery times and more getting back to life.
Virtual visits:
You might not need to meet with your neurosurgery team in person for all your appointments. When possible, we’ll make sure you have the option of a virtual visit, if that works better for you. All you need is a computer, tablet or smartphone to connect online with your providers.
National recognition:
Cleveland Clinic is a trusted healthcare leader. We’re recognized in the U.S. and throughout the world for our expertise and care.
