Neurosurgery... treating the nervous system and spinal column diseases
Our team of neurosurgeons provides the highest level of patient care through their communication and experience. The compassion of our staff helps guide patients and families through the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions. A neurosurgeon focuses on treating the central nervous system, the peripheral nervous systems, and the spinal column diseases through surgical intervention.
The neurosurgeons practicing at Longmont United Hospital strive to be on forefront of neurosurgical and orthopedic spine care including the development and application of new techniques and instrumentation. Neurosurgeons typically complete eight years of pre-medical and medical education, one-year surgical internship then five to seven years of neurosurgery residency.
