Whether you’re suffering from nerve pain or a herniated disc, or have a condition affecting your brain, spine, spinal cord or nerves, the neurosurgery team at SBH Health System provides expert neurosurgical care tailored to your needs.

We care for both common and complex conditions affecting the brain and spine, including stroke, brain aneurysms, tumors, back and neck pain, and spine disorders. Our team includes surgeons with expertise in different areas of neurosurgery, allowing us to offer a wide range of treatment options, and world-class care, right here in the Bronx.

At SBH, you’re more than a diagnosis. We take time to listen, answer your questions and create a treatment plan based on your overall health and goals. We also work hard to make care easy to access, with many patients able to get an appointment within a week.

We use the latest tools and techniques, including minimally invasive approaches when appropriate, and work closely with other specialists across SBH Health System to provide coordinated care.

We treat cerebrovascular diseases such as:

• Brain aneurysms
• Vascular malformations
• Carotid artery stenosis, or the narrowing of the arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain
• Stroke, including ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke and transient ischemic attack, or “mini-stroke”
• Trigeminal neuralgia
• Hemifacial spasm

As a designated Level II Trauma Center, we also provide emergency care for serious head injuries and other neurosurgical emergencies.

We treat spine problems including:

• Herniated discs
• Pinched nerves
• Spinal cord injury
• Spinal stenosis
• Spine deformity and scoliosis

Whenever possible, we use smaller incisions and less-invasive techniques to help patients avoid complications and recover faster.

We care for people with:

• Brain tumors
• Skull base tumors
• Spine and spinal cord tumors
• Peripheral nerve tumors
• Pituitary tumors

Whenever possible, we work closely with cancer specialists and other providers to streamline your care.

We guide thin tubes called catheters through blood vessels to reach the area that needs treatment.

Because these treatments are performed through the blood vessels, they often require smaller incisions and may help reduce recovery time for some patients.

We may use this type of procedure to treat disorders that affect the blood vessels and blood supply to the brain and spinal cord.

We offer surgical treatments for these complex conditions, which include:

• Chiari malformation
• Hydrocephalus
• Idiopathic intracranial hypertension
• Syringomyelia
