Advanced diagnosis and treatment for neurosurgical conditions
Our neurosurgeons start by listening to you and your concerns. Neurosurgical disorders can cause symptoms including pain, weakness, loss of sensation, memory loss, problems with speech, mobility challenges, and more. On the Ascension St. John Medical Center campus, we provide advanced neurodiagnostic imaging to diagnose and treat your neurosurgical condition. Brain and spine imaging includes: 3D brain mapping, cerebral angiograms, MRI, and PET brain imaging. Then, if needed, we work with a multidisciplinary team of specialists to create a comprehensive care plan.
