Practice Overview

Mid-Atlantic Neurosurgical Associates (MANA) is a center devoted to providing the highest quality care for brain, spine and pain disorders. MANA is dedicated to its founding principle of patient-focused care and to providing a sensitive and compassionate touch throughout every stage of a patient’s treatment.

We provide a one-stop shop concept and start with the least invasive or noninvasive procedure to most advanced surgical treatment customized to individual patient’s needs. One treatment fits all is not our philosophy. This policy is what stands us apart from others. We provide: compassionate counseling for the ones who need it and neurodiagnostic procedures including discograms and ERGs. The patient does not have to go around town to get tests and treatment.

The practice is staffed by board-certified specialist with several years of success and experience in the areas of Neurological Surgery, Pain Management, Neurology and Alternative types of Medicine. We employ the latest technologies, including minimally invasive surgical procedures, endoscopic procedures and Cyberknife Radiosurgery (a Neuronavigation computerized approach – computer guided like GPS finds you the destination) to treat cranial and spinal disorders.
