As a neurosurgeon, I offer specialised consultations for the evaluation and management of disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system, with particular focus on the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves. Within the field of Neurochirurgie, I combine clinical expertise with a precise, evidence-based diagnostic approach, aiming to develop an individualized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s needs.

The consultation includes a comprehensive medical history, a focused neurological examination, and a critical review of available complementary investigations, including medical imaging. When appropriate, various treatment options are discussed in detail, both conservative and surgical, in line with current guidelines and the latest scientific evidence, with continuous attention to patient safety, functional recovery, and quality of life.
