minimally invasive spine surgery

Dr. Betsy Grunch works as a neurosurgery specialist in Gainesville, GA and Braselton, GA. She graduated from Medical College of Georgia.

"I wanted to see Dr. Grunch and get her expert advice about my spine issues and waited the 6 months for the appointment. When I went in, I had submitted all paperwork in advance and she never saw me. A PA was sent in instead. I could have seen the PA much sooner than 6 months. Others I know saw the Dr. at their first visit. I was very surprised and disappointed. Seeing Dr. Grunch was important to me."

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.
