Saint Luke's Neurological & Spine Surgery

Saint Luke's Neurological & Spine Surgery is a comprehensive neurosurgery practice that uses advanced surgical techniques to treat some of the most complex neurosurgical problems. Our neurosurgeons have a variety of subspecialties ranging from the treatment of skull based tumors, to minimally invasive spine surgery, to the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, and everything in between.

Saint Luke's Neurological & Spine Surgery also offers the premier neurosurgical vascular center in the region, treating more aneurysms than any other Kansas City area hospital.

At Saint Luke's Neurological & Spine Surgery, patients can meet with a surgeon to discuss a wide range of spine and brain issues.

Patients with complex cases requiring specialized surgery always have quick access to Saint Luke’s Marion Bloch Neuroscience Institute on the campus of Saint Luke’s Hospital of Kansas City.

Our team of physicians and nurse practitioners are patient-centered and firmly believe in fully educating each and every patient through every step of the surgery process, from the first office consultation to each post-operative visit.
