The neurosurgery service at the University of Pittsburgh began decades ago, founded on a commitment to dedicated patient care, exceptional training and thorough research.
Today these goals are still paramount in our pursuit of excellence:
- To provide outstanding care to patients with neurological disease;
- To equip neurosurgeons of the future with state-of-the-art techniques and analytical skills to lead the field of neurosurgery; and
- To foster research designed to enhance the treatment of diverse diseases affecting the nervous system.
Although the faculty has had a wide variety of interests over the years, their unity of vision has been remarkable in this regard.
