WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute

Advanced Brain and Spine Care at Thomas Hospitals

WVU Medicine Thomas Hospitals, in partnership with the WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute, provides innovative brain and spine care.

Our team of board-certified neurosurgeons use advanced, minimally invasive, and robotic techniques for improved accuracy with smaller incisions that can lead to faster recovery, less pain, and reduced risk of complications for patients.

Innovative Neurosurgical Care Designed Around Patients

Neurosurgeons treat patients who have injuries or disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. In partnership with the WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute, our neurosurgeons perform complex surgeries and are leaders in:

  • Robotic technology and robotic-guided surgery
  • Minimally invasive procedures
  • Laser ablation
  • Focused ultrasound

Our neurosurgeons help patients suffering from back and neck pain as well as a host of other illnesses ranging from head injury to nerve tumors.

Before seeing a neurosurgeon, it’s important to have a good relationship with your primary care physician. If you have been experiencing back pain for six weeks or more, and it is not relieved with conservative treatment, you may want to ask your doctor for a referral for a neurosurgical opinion.

Other signs you may need to see a neurosurgeon are extremity pain, numbness, or weakness, or sudden loss of bowel or bladder control.
