What does the UTMB Neurosurgery team treat?

Our neurosurgeons care for people with conditions affecting the brain, spine, and nerves. We treat everything from brain tumors and epilepsy to back pain, movement disorders, stroke, and nerve-related pain. We also provide expert care for children with neurological conditions. Whether you need testing, surgery, or another treatment, our team is here to help you feel better and get back to life.
When should I see a neurosurgeon?

You may need a neurosurgeon if you have a condition that affects your brain, spine, or nerves—like a tumor, chronic back pain, seizures, or weakness in your arms or legs. We can help diagnose the problem and recommend the best treatment.
Do you offer minimally invasive neurosurgery?

Yes. Many of our procedures use small incisions and advanced tools to reduce pain and speed up recovery. We’ll let you know if a minimally invasive approach is right for you.
What’s the difference between a neurologist and a neurosurgeon?

Neurologists focus on diagnosing and treating brain and nerve conditions without surgery. Neurosurgeons are trained to perform surgery when needed. We often work together to give you the best care.
Will I need surgery right away?

Not always. Many conditions can be managed with medication, therapy, or monitoring. If surgery is needed, we’ll explain your options and make sure you feel informed and supported.
