Find neurosurgeons in Ashippun, WI. Compare providers, check insurance, and book appointments.
The consultation includes a neurological exam and detailed review of your imaging (MRI, CT). The neurosurgeon will explain whether surgery is recommended, what the procedure involves, the expected outcome, and the risks. They may recommend trying conservative treatments first (physical therapy, injections, medication) before operating. For elective procedures, you will have time to ask questions and seek a second opinion if desired.
See a neurosurgeon for brain tumors, herniated discs causing nerve compression, spinal stenosis not improving with conservative treatment, spinal fractures or instability, brain aneurysms, trigeminal neuralgia, carpal tunnel syndrome (when surgery is needed), hydrocephalus, Chiari malformation, and traumatic injuries to the brain or spine. Your neurologist, PCP, or ER physician will typically make the referral.
