Functional Neurosurgery

Individualized Patient Care
The Yale Functional Neurosurgery program encompasses advanced surgical treatment of movement disorders, spasticity, epilepsy, neuropsychiatric disorders and intractable pain. Our mission is to provide each patient with individualized, state of the art care in a unique combination of compassion and world-class technical therapy.
Working together with a variety of experts, a team approach is utilized in order to meet the needs of each individual patient while providing state of the art surgical treatments. This multi-disciplinary and patient focused effort is made possible by the expertise and innovation within the World Renowned Yale School of Medicine and Yale New Haven Hospital. The goal for each patient is to restore function and or eliminate neurological symptoms and pain in every patient possible.
