"Went to Dr Morrison after visiting and speaking with at least 7 ortho and neuro Drs. on Floridas West Coast. We found Dr Morrison after searching for a Neurosurgeon out of our local area as NO ONE would look or treat me as I had a prior surgery 3 months prior. Dr Morrison met with me and immediately had a plan to resolve my issue. a few weeks later, surgery and all good! I cant say enough about his personality and staff. EVERYONE (kudos to Maria P) was unbelieveable and office was able to deal with NY Workers Compensation. I highly recommend him and hope others can benefit from his expertize. Note: he has 5 offices so I was able to get an appointment easily! Many thanks Dr M."

What is Neurosurgery?

Neurosurgery is the highly skilled specialty devoted to the surgical treatment of issues affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It is similar to the specialty of neurology, which also treats disorders of the nervous system. Even though there is some overlap, neurosurgery focuses on the surgical treatment of nervous system disorders. However, not every neurosurgery job means surgery -- neurosurgeons may also provide a diagnosis, interpret imaging and test results, or provide non-surgical treatment, depending on the nature of the illness.

Neurosurgeons treat nervous system disorders such as:

Traumatic brain injuries
Brain or spine tumors
Blood clots in the brain
Hydroencephalitis
Aneurysms or stroke
Seizures
Spinal cord injuries
Carpal or cubital tunnel syndromes
Repair of severed nerves
Infections of the brain or spinal fluid

Because the nervous system is both so delicate and so complex, neurosurgery has one of the most rigorous and competitive medical education programs. After college and medical school, it is common for a neurosurgeon to require 7-10 additional years of intense training.

New discoveries in this field allow neurosurgeons to heal and accomplish more than ever before, and they are now able to treat many injuries and illnesses that were once fatal.
