Support Pitt Neurosurgery

The University of Pittsburgh Department of Neurological Surgery is honored to treat the many regional, national and international patients that seek out our help. Our expert neurosurgeons provide a multi-disciplinary individualized approach, tailoring patient care to maximize results.

You can help make a difference in other patients’ lives by supporting our goals of outstanding patient care, technologically-advanced neurosurgical training, and groundbreaking clinical research in a number of ways.

Share Your Good Experience with Others

Sharing your good experience will help others find the care they need.

Visit a health care website such as vitals.com or Healthgrades.com and leave a review of the care you received here. Search for your physician on one or more of these sites and look for the "write a review" or "leave a review” link to share your good experience.

Also, return the Press Ganey satisfaction survey card that you would have received after your care. Your comments will appear on UPMC’s providers.upmc.com webpage.

Enroll in a Clinical Trial

You can help support one of our many clinical research trials—led by some of the world’s most respected researchers—underway at the University of Pittsburgh. Your input and history will help advance care for other patients like you. To enroll in a trial, please call 412-647-3685.
