What Is Neurosurgery?
Neurosurgery focuses on conditions that affect the brain, spine, and nervous system when surgery may be the best option for care. This type of care is often recommended after careful testing, expert review, and consideration of non-surgical options.
Procedures may include brain surgery, such as craniotomy, and surgery for spine and nerve conditions when other treatments have not helped.
Schedule a Neurosurgery Appointment
Beebe offers neurosurgical care through referral. To schedule a visit, ask your primary care provider or neurologist for a referral.

When Should You See a Neurosurgeon?
A neurosurgeon specializes in conditions that may require procedural or surgical treatment, often related to structural issues in the brain, spine, or nerves.
You may be referred to a neurosurgeon if symptoms are not improving, are getting worse, or are linked to a known condition. Common reasons to see a Beebe neurosurgeon include:
- A diagnosed brain or spinal tumor
- Herniated discs or nerve compression causing significant pain or weakness
- Brain bleeding, aneurysm, or traumatic injury
- Persistent or severe neck or back pain that does not improve with treatment
- Progressive neurological symptoms, such as worsening weakness or loss of function
These conditions may be signs that a procedure or surgery could help improve comfort, movement, or quality of life. When surgery is recommended, care is planned carefully and guided every step of the way.
Our goal is to reduce symptoms, protect function, and support long-term health—always with a focus on what is right for each patient.
If more advanced care is ever needed, Beebe ensures a smooth transition—so you are never left to navigate next steps alone.

When to Seek Immediate Care
Some symptoms should not wait for an appointment. They may be signs of a serious neurologic emergency. Seek immediate medical care or call 911 if you experience:
- Sudden weakness or numbness, especially on one side of the body
- Trouble speaking or understanding speech, or facial drooping
- A sudden, severe headache, often described as the “worst headache of your life”
- A new seizure or loss of consciousness
These symptoms need urgent evaluation and should not wait for an outpatient referral. Getting care quickly can make a meaningful difference in treatment and recovery.

- Disorders of the brain and spine
