This website provides general educational information about stereotactic and functional neurosurgery and a way to request an appointment. It does not provide medical advice and is not a substitute for evaluation by a physician. Functional neurosurgery is decided by a multidisciplinary team; several procedures are reserved for severe, refractory illness and some are investigational. In an emergency, call 911. Requesting an appointment does not by itself establish care; a clinician-patient relationship begins at your scheduled visit.
