The Neuroscience Specialists

The neuroscience program at Ellis has become a national model for the care of brain, spine and nerve disorders. In fact, hospitals from around the U.S. come to learn how they can offer the same high quality care that we provide our community. Luckily, you don't have to travel very far.

Comprehensive neurological care

The Neuroscience Center at Ellis Hospital delivers comprehensive inpatient and outpatient care for neurological conditions, including stroke, epilepsy, back pain, brain tumors, dementia and movement disorders. This centralization of services and integration helps speed diagnosis and treatment times - and offers convenience for patients and doctors.

A team approach for better outcomes

Ellis Medicine is pioneering a team approach to healthcare in many of our specialty areas. In Ellis’ Neuroscience Center this innovative team structure brings together leading neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, physician assistants, nurses and clinicians to provide a coordinated, unified care plan. Our team of specialists gathers together at least once a day - or more often as necessary - to discuss their patients' care. The effective collaboration and communication among these specialists is one of the reasons why Ellis' neuroscience program is a national model of care for the treatment of brain, spine and nerve disorders.

Nationally recognized Stroke Center

Every minute counts when treating a patient experiencing symptoms of a stroke. Fortunately, Ellis is a designated Primary Stroke Center, recognized for quality care and quick response. Our acclaimed Stroke Alert System assembles the on-call Stroke Team for rapid evaluations and advanced treatments that can improve outcomes. In addition, the Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit at Ellis provides an exceptional environment for comprehensive care of stroke patients.

The Neuroscience Center is located at Ellis Hospital, B-wing, 6th Floor.
