Neurosurgery Clinic

(415) 353-7500

The UCSF Neurosurgery Clinic offers a broad spectrum of services – comprehensive evaluations, treatment planning, surgery and rehabilitation – for conditions ranging from nerve disorders to brain tumors. A team of leading experts, including neurologists, neuroradiologists and radiation oncologists, provides care. Our patients also benefit from the research conducted at UCSF and new treatments and medical devices developed here.

As part of this clinic, the Center for Management and Surgery of Peripheral Nerve Disorders evaluates and treats patients with peripheral nervous system disorders, from carpal tunnel syndrome to congenital nerve damage. The center is staffed by experts in neurology, neuropathology, neurogenetics, electrophysiology and rehabilitation. Patients have access to the latest diagnostic techniques, including electromyography and nerve conduction studies, MR neurography, 3T MRI and spectroscopy.

In addition, the advocacy group Angioma Alliance has named UCSF a Center of Excellence in Cerebral Cavernous Malformation in recognition of the high-quality, multispecialty care we provide for these vascular malformations.

We are part of the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences.
