Neurosurgery

Expert care for a wide variety of neurological issues and concerns. 

Neurosurgery is about a lot more than brain surgery, although that's what most people may think of first. Neurosurgeons diagnose and treat disorders of the entire nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, spinal column, skull and peripheral nerves.

Mercy's deep expertise in this area allows us to provide world-class care for a wide range of complex neurological conditions.

Using the most advanced technology and surgical techniques currently available, Mercy's highly skilled and experienced board-certified neurosurgeons are committed to delivering the best possible outcomes for our patients.

When Is Neurosurgery Needed?

Many conditions treated by neurosurgeons can be managed without surgery, at least initially. Your doctor may first recommend lifestyle changes, medication, injections or physical therapy.

If surgery is needed, your doctor will be sure to tell you all about the risks and benefits. Often, minimally invasive surgery is an option, which means you’ll have smaller incisions and lower risk for post-surgery complications than with traditional surgery.

Some of the most common conditions we treat include: 

If you’re suffering from one of these conditions, talk to your primary care physician, who may refer you to a neurologist or neurosurgeon.

Together, your Mercy care team will provide the quality, compassionate care needed to relieve your symptoms and get you back to living life to its fullest.
