The Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Louisville School of Medicine provides thorough, comprehensive care. Our approach is patient-centered and multidisciplinary. With a team of neurosurgeons, physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists, cutting-edge researchers, and nurses, our department is uniquely situated to provide world-class care and expertise for our patients.

We favor a multidisciplinary approach to patient care. Alongside specialists in neurology, otolaryngology, urology, physiatry, oncology, and radiation medicine, we use shared expertise and the latest research to create individualized treatment plans. Multidisciplinary medicine is an effective approach to patient care that allows for the treatment of the whole patient. For example, patients referred to our department with spinal cord injuries are seen at the Spinal Cord Medicine Clinic where they are evaluated in one location by the appropriate specialists - neurosurgeon, neurologist, physiatrist, urologist, and/or radiologist - to provide comprehensive care.

The Department of Neurological Surgery is open to all eligible faculty, staff, and students regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age.
