Neurosurgery patients at Mount Sinai Brooklyn can now receive in-depth evaluations, and local treatment in many cases, without having to travel into Manhattan. Ronit Gilad, MD, Chief of the Neurosurgical service at Mount Sinai Brooklyn, and Soriaya Motivala, MD, Co-Chief of the service, are leading the effort. Both are Assistant Professors of Neurosurgery at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and former Mount Sinai Neurosurgery residents.
The general brain and spine procedures now available include chiari malformation, cerebrospinal diversions, intracranial hemorrhage evacuation, intrathecal pumps for pain and spasticity, spinal cord and vagal nerve stimulation, cervical and lumbar disc replacement procedures, minimally invasive spine surgeries, microdiscectomies, and spinal fusions. A full range of outpatient Neurosurgery consultative services are available, as well as emergency room and inpatient consults. Drs. Gilad and Motivala will have office hours at Mount Sinai Brooklyn on Tuesdays and Thursdays and will continue to perform more complex surgeries at Mount Sinai Beth Israel.
“I am exceptionally pleased with the achievements of Drs. Gilad and Motivala,” says Joshua B. Bederson, MD, Professor and Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at the Mount Sinai Health System. “Not only were they trained in our highly respected neurosurgery residency program but they now excel in executing our mission to deliver exceptional neurosurgery care in diverse communities.”
