"I saw Dr. O'Boynick today for a neurosurgery consult. It was the saddest excuse of an appointment I have ever been in. His physician's assistant, Mark Pemberton, did the exam. While he was thorough, it was not done very well. I go to a neurologist regularly for migraines, so I know what a proper neuro exam should be. When Dr. O'Boynick did make an appearance he was in the room for less than 5 minutes, challenged me on the muscle weakness I said I had. Thank the universe I had my partner present because they spoke up and confirmed what I said was true. However, Dr. O'Boynick did not do his own physical exam or even go over my scans with me. If you are referred to him, I recommend finding someone else in your network or at least getting a second opinion and don't go solely on the word of this doctor or his assistant."

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.
