Department of Neurosurgery

Yale’s Department of Neurosurgery is committed to delivering exceptional patient care, the pursuit of science to improve patient outcomes and the training of future leaders in our field. Our highly specialized physicians, scientists, practitioners and staff are devoted to providing the highest standard of patient care for all neurosurgical conditions of the central (i.e. brain, spinal cord) and peripheral nervous systems, as well as the blood vessels supplying them. We offer the latest in cutting-edge treatment in a state-of-the-art environment that is unsurpassed in quality, infrastructure and compassionate, patient-focused care. Our neurosurgeons are world-renowned experts who are highly sub-specialized, such that each one focuses on very specific areas of neurosurgery and related conditions. This leads to better outcomes for patients and their families.

Our neurosurgeons provide neurosurgical services at hospitals across Connecticut and adjacent areas. Routine procedures and follow-up are done closer to patients’ homes for convenience, while those with more complex conditions are transferred to New Haven, when necessary.
