Chair's Welcome

The Department of Neurological Surgery is committed to training future neurosurgeons, expanding neuroscience knowledge and providing excellent patient care.  We emphasize learning with compassion.  

Our highly trained faculty are adept at treating the full spectrum of neurosurgical disorders. Additionally, we have outstanding centers in skull base surgery, complex spinal care with specialization in deformity correction and multi-disciplinary cerebrovascular/endovascular expertise. Neuro-oncology is an interdisciplinary program with the Cardinal Bernadin Cancer Center.  Our functional program works closely with our neurology colleagues specializing in epilepsy and movement disorders.

Our partner site is at the Hines VA hospital. Loyola University Medical Center is a member of Trinity Health and our department provides consultation services to Gottlieb, MacNeal and Mercy Hospitals.
