Pittsburgh, December 20, 2000 -- The Department of Neurological Surgery has just completed phase two of a clinic renovation project at UPMC Presbyterian almost doubling the previous examination area and bringing the total number of exam rooms to 17. These additional rooms will help reduce waiting time.

This expansion follows the opening, in early October, of the department's new, larger relocated patient reception area. The spacious, brightly decorated patient reception area is approximately 50% larger than the department's old area and is intended to improve patient comfort and increase office efficiency.

In addition to facilitating a more comfortable flow of patient traffic, the expansion will help accommodate the department's growing patient volume and faculty and help improve the processing of administrative matters.

Located just a few steps from UPMC Presbyterian's main elevators in the hospital's 4th floor central corridor, patients will also find the clinic much easier to access. (See directions and maps.)
