Additional diagnostic tools are found in our epilepsy

The Latest Treatment Modalities
Patients find leading-edge treatment options at
the Neurological Institute, where we continue to

laser interstitial thermal therapy for brain tumors,
epilepsy surgery, stereotactic spine radiosurgery,
endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms and
vascular malformations, and neuroendoscopy. Joint
Commission certification as a Primary Stroke Center
and accreditation by the American Academy of Sleep
Medicine are just two reflections of our commitment
to provide the most advanced, highest-quality care
to our patients.
