The Division of Neurosurgery at the University of Vermont is devoted to the evaluation and treatment of neurological diseases in children and adults. We use a full range of Neuromedical and Neurosurgical technologies to provide the most up-to-date and effective treatment for the entire spectrum of neurological diseases. In addition, the Division of Neurosurgery is devoted to the teaching of medical students, and students of allied health professions, as well as the post-graduate training of Neurosurgical residents.

This division has been divided into sub-speciality programs to better identify expertise within the field of Neurosurgery. Our team therefore offers multidisciplinary outpatient and inpatient care for patients with:

•  Head, spinal cord or peripheral nerve injury

•  Brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerve tumors

• Cerebrovascular disease and stroke

• Degenerative spine disease

• Medically intractable epilepsy

• Chronic pain from neurological disease

•   Pituitary disorders

Neurosurgery is a demanding multidisciplinary effort. Experienced and highly trained neurosurgeons, nurses and support staff help work with patients, their family and friends through evaluations, operations and post-surgical follow-ups to assure a high quality care.
