What is a neurosurgeon?
A neurosurgeon is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system, including the brain, spine, and nerves. While neurosurgeons are skilled in performing surgeries, they often recommend non-surgical treatments first, such as medications or physical therapy, depending on the condition. Conditions treated by neurosurgeons include brain tumors, herniated discs, spinal injuries, and nerve compression. Neurosurgeons work closely with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care for neurological disorders.
Why am I being referred to a neurosurgeon?
A referral to a neurosurgeon is typically made when a condition affecting the brain, spine, or nerves requires specialized care. This might include chronic back or neck pain, nerve damage, a brain tumor, or traumatic injury. Neurosurgeons carefully evaluate each case and do not always recommend surgery. Instead, they may suggest alternative treatments like physical therapy, medications, or lifestyle changes. If surgery is necessary, they discuss all options and explain the risks and benefits to help patients make informed decisions.
What surgeries are performed by neurosurgeons?
Neurosurgeons perform a wide range of procedures to address conditions of the nervous system. These include:
- Brain tumor removal
- Spinal fusion or decompression for back and neck issues
- Aneurysm repair to prevent brain bleeding
- Surgeries for epilepsy or movement disorders, like deep brain stimulation
- Minimally invasive procedures for carpal tunnel syndrome or nerve repair
They also utilize advanced techniques, such as robotics and imaging, to improve outcomes and reduce recovery times. Each treatment is tailored to the patient’s specific needs.
What is the difference between a neurosurgeon and a neurologist?
Neurosurgeons and neurologists both specialize in conditions of the nervous system, but their roles differ. Neurosurgeons are trained to perform surgeries for conditions like brain tumors, spine disorders, and nerve injuries. Neurologists focus on diagnosing and managing neurological disorders without surgery, such as epilepsy, migraines, or multiple sclerosis. These specialists often work together to provide patients with a full range of care and treatment options.
What can you expect during your first visit to a neurosurgeon?
During your initial appointment, the neurosurgeon will:
- Review your medical history: Discuss your symptoms and any previous treatments.
- Conduct a physical examination: Perform a neurological exam to assess nerve function.
- Order diagnostic tests: Recommend imaging studies like MRI or CT scans if necessary.
- Discuss treatment options: Explain potential treatments, both surgical and non-surgical, tailored to your condition.
This visit aims to develop a personalized treatment plan and address any questions you may have.

Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Neurosurgeon?
Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.
How can I prepare for my appointment with a Neurosurgeon near Seaford, NY?
Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items:
- Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year)
- Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see
- Family history of disease
- List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses
- Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.
- List of questions and concerns
- Your insurance card
You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit.
What questions should I ask my Neurosurgeon?
Here are some sample questions:
- Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated?
- What symptoms or side effects should I watch for?
- What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results?
- Are there other specialists I need to see?
