Neurological Surgery Specialists of North Texas – Comprehensive Treatment of the Entire CNS

Our Philosophy

The Neurological Surgery Specialists of North Texas philosophy is to perform the smallest intervention possible that has a good likelihood of improving a patient’s current condition. Most of the time this consists of non-surgical treatment. We offer an excellent program of physical therapy, medical management, and localized injections. When surgery is indicated, we make a focused effort to perform the smallest surgery possible. We utilize minimally invasive techniques and the newest technologies to preserve a patients range of motion and functional capacity. We are committed to getting our patients back to their optimal quality of life. Extensive fusions and spinal screw instrumentation are reserved only for a handful of cases. We are honored to be your referral source for all surgical disorders of the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves.

Acute Problems / Rapid Work-In

This would include sudden significant shooting pain into an arm or leg; sudden progressive weakness; or sudden mental status changes.
