Upstate Brain & Spine Center offers comprehensive neurosurgical services for adult and pediatric patients. Our surgeons treat a variety of conditions related to the brain and spine. Upstate's pioneering advances include the introduction of the Gamma Knife, cutting-edge research in laser ablation techniques for tumors and epilepsy, development of the world's most advanced neurosurgical navigational microscope system, and a specialized intraoperative MRI suite. The Pediatric Neurosurgery division is affiliated with Golisano Children's Hospital. Together, we provide care on a local, national and international basis for children with structural disorders of spinal cord and brain. We are proud to be in collaboration with experts in pediatric neurology, neuro-radiology, neonatology and intensivists. We also proudly participate hand-in-hand with the Epilepsy Center, the Spina Bifida Program, the Center for Development, Behavior & Genetics and the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) Programs.
