"Dr. Ritter is an amazing surgeon! He is kind, caring, & understanding. He takes time and listens to his patients. If it wasn't for Dr. Ritter I don't know what I would have done! I came to him with a history of chronic back pain due to childhood idiopathic scoliosis. After trying every noninvasive route with no relief, together we decided on spinal fusion to straighten my spine & decrease pain. This surgery was a huge deal to me as I had been trying to put it off for over 20 years. The thought of this surgery terrified me. Choosing Dr. Ritter for my proceedure was a no brainer. He is diligent in his work & strives for perfection. Nearly 3 months after my fusion of T4-L4 I can say I feel like a brand new woman. I could not be happier with my results!! I would highly recommend Dr. Ritter!!!"

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.
