A Multidisciplined Approach

Our team specializes in all phases of neurological surgery. Our surgeons work closely with nursing, hematology, radiology, psychiatry, neuro-oncology, neurology, physical therapy and other groups to ensure diagnosis accuracy and optimal treatment plans. 

A "Neuro Hospital" Within Mass General

In 2011, our group opened 82 new dedicated neuroscience beds, including 24 neurocritical care beds, in the state-of-the-art Lunder Building with iMRI, iCT, iAngiography and O-arm with computer-assisted spinal navigation as advancing imaging modalities. 

Education and Training

Mass General is the original and largest teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. Our goal is to train neurosurgeons who will become leaders in academic neurosurgery. We expose residents to cases spanning the entire range of neurosurgery thanks to Mass General's standing as both a domestic and international referral center for complex cases.

Our Alumni

Almost 90% of graduating residents go into academic positions at high-ranking institutions, and nine active US neurosurgery chairs are filled by people who have trained at Mass General.
