The reasons for becoming a medical provider are different from the reasons I continue to be one. When I made neurosurgery my career, my intent was to help individuals to health with neurosurgery, and this was and continues to be an extremely rewarding part of my work. More recently I have additional interest in informing and educating colleagues and patients to prevent disease and creating systems and processes that promote health in populations.  In my free time I enjoy running, wine, gardening, hiking, pets, cooking and computer programming. I am also a dog shelter volunteer.All living things exist in a delicately balanced state. Disease is the manifestation of an imbalance. Prevention of disease (learning how to prevent imbalance) is the biggest contribution the provider can make to the well-being of the patient. For the sick, as a provider, I feel my job is to identify the cause of an imbalance and help the patient regain health. Most healing comes from the patient- I can help guide the body's natural healing abilities, but I cannot create health.

My fascination with medicine took root during my later years after engaging in volunteer work with traumatic brain injury patients in Toronto. Hearing their incredible stories, I came to recognize the profound privilege held by doctors who catch glimpses of the most sensitive moments in their patients' lives. It became clear to me that as a physician, I could truly make a significant impact. As a resident, my attention was captured by the challenge of hydrocephalus and abnormalities of cerebrospinal fluid flow, areas in which our understanding remains poor and treatment options are limited. Moreover, treatment typically involves the placement of a shunt to redirect fluid away from the brain, a procedure which has a high rate of complications. As a neurosurgeon and scientist, my goal is to discover alternate approaches for diagnosing and treating patients with cerebrospinal fluid disorders, so that they can maintain a high quality of life. Beyond my professional pursuits, I enjoy spending time with my husband, exploring the North Carolina mountains through invigorating hikes, reading a book by the lake, or tinkering with my car. Her clinical expertise encompasses Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, Hydrocephalus, Congenital Cardiovascular Shunt, and Cerebellum Agenesis Hydrocephaly. Dr. Bramall is currently accepting new patients.
