What is Neurosurgery?

Neurosurgery encompasses the surgical, non-surgical and stereotactic radiosurgical treatment of people with disorders of the nervous system: disorders of the brain, skull base and their blood supply; disorders of the pituitary gland; disorders of the spinal cord and vertebral column, including those that may require treatment by fusion, instrumentation, or endovascular techniques; and disorders of the cranial and spinal nerves.

Neurosurgeon Gregory J. Rubino, MD and Erich Wolf, MD, PhD offers patients access to some of the most advanced surgical treatment and care for brain and cranial disorders. Our board-certified neurosurgeons bring over two decades of academic and hands-on neurosurgical experience to the Lake Charles area while providing sophisticated surgical techniques usually found only in top academic medical centers.
