Dr. Sivakumar Jaikumar

Neurosurgery is a challenging field of medicine but is very rewarding. I specialize in brain tumor, pituitary neoplasm, and complex spinal disorders and deformity. I find it important to educate my patients on the surgical options available to them. I believe building a great patient-provider relationship is essential to achieving excellent clinical and surgical outcomes.

What we specialize in at The Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center is compassionate care – we take care of our patients. It’s complete care. The patients don’t have to go out and find a radiologist. We have the radiation oncologist, the chemotherapy, the surgery, the radiology, we have all kinds of nursing people as well as help getting physical therapy and getting in-the-home assistance. Patients also can expect cutting-edge care because we run such a terrific science program here. I really like working with the patients. No question about it. It’s not that I’m doing some trivial procedure six times a day. When someone comes in with a brain tumor, there’s usually some bonding, and instead of running away from that, I really enjoy it.
