Neurosurgery is the medical specialty concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, surgical treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders which affect any portion of the nervous system including the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and extra-cranial cerebrovascular system. Neurosurgeons are doctors who diagnose and treat problems with the nervous system, often by performing surgery on the brain or spine. They treat strokes, tumors, cervical and lumbar disc disease, infections, and head or spinal cord injuries.
Recognized as an innovator, Dr. Thomas continues to be active in the latest development of minimally invasive spine procedures so that his patients may receive the most advanced spinal care in the world. He has lectured about spinal procedures on four continents and has had interactions with hundreds of surgeons around the world.
