Neurosurgery Success Stories
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I decide if surgery is right for me?
Decisions are based on the severity of symptoms, impact on daily life, results from imaging/tests, and response to nonsurgical treatments. Your surgeon will discuss risks, benefits, alternatives, and expected results to help you make an informed choice.
Does ANA always recommend surgery first?
No. Surgery is rarely the first recommendation. ANA emphasizes conservative and non-surgical treatments whenever appropriate. We consider surgery only when it offers the safest and most effective path to relief or improvement.
What conditions do ANA neurosurgeons specialize in?
ANA provides comprehensive care for both adult and pediatric neurological conditions. Our specialists treat brain tumors, hydrocephalus, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, craniofacial disorders, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, nerve compression, and vascular abnormalities. We offer expertise in pediatric neurosurgery, complex spine surgery, epilepsy surgery, brain tumor surgery, and advanced minimally invasive techniques.
Can patients live a normal life after brain surgery?
In many cases, yes. Most patients return to school, work, and normal daily activities following recovery. Outcomes depend on the underlying condition, overall health, and the type of surgery performed. ANA uses modern, precise techniques designed to protect healthy brain tissue and support the best possible recovery.
Can I get a second opinion at the Rutherford office?
Yes. A large number of patients seek a second opinion on a diagnosis and treatment plan. We review your history, imaging, and previous recommendations to help you understand your options.
How can I schedule an appointment?
Appointments can be made by calling our office or submitting a request through our online appointment form. Our scheduling team will help you find the earliest available time at the location that works best for you.
How much does neurosurgical treatment cost in New Jersey?
We provide neurosurgical care across multiple offices in New Jersey. You can select the office that works best for you, and our team will help arrange your visit.
Do ANA neurosurgeons treat both adults and children?
Yes. ANA offers complete neurosurgical care for patients of all ages. Our pediatric team manages hydrocephalus, craniosynostosis, epilepsy, congenital abnormalities, and traumatic injuries. Our adult neurosurgeons treat spine disorders, brain tumors, nerve conditions, vascular issues, and other complex neurological diseases.
How many neurosurgeons are part of the ANA team?
ANA is home to a team of board-certified and fellowship-trained neurosurgeons with subspecialty expertise in pediatric neurosurgery, spine surgery, brain tumors, epilepsy surgery, and minimally invasive procedures. This multidisciplinary approach allows us to treat a full spectrum of complex neurosurgical conditions.
How do I prepare for a neurosurgery consultation?
Patients can prepare by bringing recent imaging studies, previous test results, a list of symptoms, current medications, and any known allergies. It may also be helpful to write down questions regarding diagnosis, treatment options, and recovery expectations so your visit is as productive as possible.
