What to Expect at Your Appointment

UAMS has safety measures in place to protect our patients and employees. Everyone who comes to UAMS is required to wear a mask and pass a health screening before entering the building. You will also have your temperature taken. Please wear a clean mask to your clinic visit, and do not remove it until asked to do so by a UAMS employee.

If you need a wheelchair from your car to your appointment, transport staff may be available at the main UAMS campus. Contact your clinic for more information.

  • Seizure surgery
  • Brain implants
  • Pediatric neurosurgery
  • Neuron-oncology, including brachytherapy and radiation surgery

Our team of neurosurgeons also is experienced in neuro-endocrinology and disorders affecting the spine and spinal cord. UAMS is also one of the few hospitals in the country that offers skull base surgery.

We can also help you with pain management, peripheral and cranial nerve surgery and treatment of vascular disease. Our state-of-the-art neurosurgical equipment includes intraoperative electrophysical monitoring.

  • Metastatic, malignant and benign tumors
  • Facial pain
  • Vascular disorders, such as arteriovenous and cavernous malformations

We see patients from around the world, as our neurosurgeons are widely known for their surgical expertise as well as the personal attention patients receive. We are also home to Dr. M. Gazi Yasargil, internationally known as one of the pioneers of microneurosurgery, and named neurosurgeon of the century in 1999.
