Team Approach to Patient Care

UBNS follows a team approach to diagnosing and treating complex disorders of the brain and spine. Accordingly, patients treated at our institution derive the unique benefit of having multiple highly-regarded physicians and other clinical experts involved in their care.

Neuroendovascular & Stroke Team

Four attending neurosurgeons – Drs. Elad Levy, Adnan Siddiqui, Ken Snyder and Jason Davies – function as UBNS’ neuroendovascular team to diagnose and treat the cerebrovascular abnormalities and diseases of the brain and spinal cord that can lead to stroke—including aneurysms, atherosclerotic occlusive disease, arteriovenous malformations (AVM), and arteriovenous fistulas, (AVF). The neuroendovascular team is nationally recognized in minimally invasive endovascular treatments, as well as more traditional, open surgical approaches. Each year, thousands of patients undergo endovascular procedures at our institution.
