The Edward Neurosciences Institute in affiliation with the Northwestern Medical Group offers world-class care for patients with neurological disorders such as stroke, migraines, concussions and other neurodegenerative diseases.  Additionally, the Institute’s neurosurgeons perform surgeries in the brain and spine using minimally invasive techniques whenever possible and open cranial procedures when necessary.

The Institute features the most advanced drug therapies, interventional neurosurgery techniques and a $5 million state-of-the-art neurointerventional lab.  Since all neuroscience specialists practice out of one clinic, patients benefit from collaboration among neurologist, neurosurgeon and neurointerventionalist, a team approach that creates the best treatment plan.
