Neurosurgery Clinic
Did you know that every minute lost for an acute ischemic stroke patient translates to two days of shortened life? Because each minute of blood flow deprivation to the brain can damage up to 1 million brain cells. Therefore, if you encounter a patient exhibiting stroke symptoms such as sudden loss of balance, acute blindness in one or both eyes, facial drooping, weakness in the arms or legs, stiff tongue, voice changes, or slurred speech, immediately seek medical attention at the nearest hospital within 4 hours and 30 minutes. Prompt treatment can significantly reduce the risk of disability, paralysis, or even death.
Beyond rapid and accurate diagnosis and timely treatment, MedPark Hospital's comprehensive stroke care encompasses a team of experienced and highly skilled neurosurgeons, neurologists, and allied healthcare professionals dedicated to providing exceptional patient care. Our state-of-the-art medical equipment and cutting-edge technology further enhance patient safety and optimize post-stroke outcomes. This comprehensive approach also applies to the management and treatment of other acute and chronic neurological disorders, ensuring top-notch care for all individuals under our care.
In the face of acute stroke, every second counts. At MedPark Hospital's Neurosurgery Clinic, we recognize the urgency of timely and high-quality care. The moment a patient arrives, they are placed under the expert care of our team of board-certified, teaching faculty neurosurgeons, who work in close collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of specialists experienced in pre- and post-operative rehabilitation. Our commitment to cutting-edge medical technology ensures comprehensive and effective treatment options, empowering patients to regain their quality of life and return to normalcy as much as possible.
Why the Neurosurgery Clinic at MedPark Hospital?

Their mastery of surgical techniques seamlessly integrates cutting-edge innovations and technologies, enabling them to perform a diverse range of procedures in our state-of-the-art hybrid operating rooms. This comprehensive approach empowers them to address the full spectrum of neurological conditions.
- Our dedicated neurosurgical team is available around the clock to provide comprehensive care for outpatients, inpatients, and referrals from other hospitals. We collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team of specialists to conduct thorough diagnostic evaluations and determine the most appropriate treatment plan. This personalized approach optimizes the recovery of the patient's neurological system, enhancing their quality of life and enabling them to achieve maximum independence in their daily activities.
- Our neurosurgeons have access to a comprehensive suite of cutting-edge diagnostic tools and medical technologies, enabling them to diagnose and treat a broad spectrum of neurological disorders. These advanced tools, such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for the treatment of stroke and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), are typically found only in major teaching hospitals or specialized medical centers. Leveraging these sophisticated technologies, our team develops highly personalized treatment plans that optimize patient outcomes.
- Our Neurosurgery Clinic is strategically located adjacent to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Center, a thoughtful design that streamlines patient care. This proximity facilitates seamless transitions for patients requiring neurorehabilitation following stroke, paralysis, Parkinson's disease, or spinal neurosurgery. We minimize patient discomfort and expedite patient recovery by eliminating the need for inter-floor journeys.
