For Patients

The Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh has created a unique environment where “centers of excellence” flourish. In this model, neurosurgical subspecialists devote time to patient care and research in their areas of expertise but freely collaborate, as needed, with subspecialists in other areas to bring a comprehensive treatment plan to patients. This use of centers of excellence has strengthened and advanced neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh, establishing our department as one of the leading neurosurgical departments in the world, enabling us to bring the best possible care to our patients.

To learn more about these centers, please visit our Centers of Excellence section or call us at 412-647-3685.
