Our team of neurosurgeons also is experienced in neuro-endocrinology and disorders affecting the spine and spinal cord.

We can also help you with pain management, peripheral and cranial nerve surgery and treatment of vascular disease. Our state-of-the-art neurosurgical equipment includes intraoperative electrophysical monitoring.

Our services feature the Gamma Knife, the only one of its kind in Arkansas, which is used by our doctors to correct a variety of abnormalities in the brain and cervical spine, such as:
  • Metastatic, malignant and benign tumors
