Why choose Roper St. Francis neurosurgery for your patients
Renowned expertise. Many of our neurosurgeons completed training at top medical centers, then chose Roper St. Francis because they wanted to practice in a community setting that gives them time to connect with patients and offer personalized care. All our surgeons have deep expertise in the latest minimally invasive techniques.
Multidisciplinary collaboration. Our neurosurgeons partner with pain management specialists and other experts to evaluate each patient and:
- Create tailored treatment plans
- Consider conservative approaches and provide non-surgical options
- Facilitate the best possible patient recovery, by working closely with physical medicine and rehabilitation colleagues in coordinated follow-up clinics
Compassionate, personalized care. We take time to get to know each patient’s needs and goals, building relationships that help them make the best possible care decisions.
Patients only see providers directly involved in their care, and they always know who their physician is and how to contact them.
Outstanding quality and patient satisfaction: We bring a track record of exceptional care to Berkeley County. We are one of the tri-county area’s highest-volume neurosurgery teams, our outcomes are among the best in the Southeast and our mission-driven team strives to provide an excellent patient experience — as evidenced by our CG-CAHPS score of 98 and a CG-CAHPS rating of 4.7.
Prompt, convenient access. Our Berkeley clinic enables patients to access excellent care, without having to drive far.
