Neurological Surgery Availability

Due to an injury to our on-duty neurologist from Dec 20-28, our neurosurgical services will be limited during this time. Please continue to refer suspected cases of disc herniation for hemilaminectomy as well as medical neurological emergencies. We may be unable to treat surgical emergencies involving the neck and cannot treat vertebral fractures at any location during this time. We recommend these cases be referred to other regional neurology services. Surgical neurological cases referred in on emergency will be evaluated and if we cannot provide the care needed, they will be referred elsewhere. Please make your clients aware of this. Thank you for working with us during this time when we are limited.
