DuPage Neurosurgery (DPNS) offers a truly personal approach to caring for patients with problems associated with the nervous system, fully recognizing that styles and needs vary from patient to patient. DPNS physicians and nurses treat each patient with unrivaled, compassionate medical care and sophisticated technical expertise, presenting a welcomed choice in the world of tightly scheduled, highly regulated medicine.

It takes time and understanding to investigate a patient's medical problem to get an accurate diagnosis and determine the best course of treatment. We invest that time with each of our patients, reviewing respective medical histories and discussing current symptoms. In addition to performing a careful and thorough physical examination, further diagnostic tests may be ordered.

We work closely with the patient's primary care physician, sharing information to provide coordinated care.

We treat neurosurgical problems conservatively unless it is an acute situation. When surgery is needed, we use advanced procedures and state-of-the-art technology at Central DuPage Hospital.

Patient education and active patient participation are hallmarks of our approach. We help our patients and their families understand and manage their conditions by discussing treatment options and providing comprehensive information about treatment pathways.

If surgery is planned, we thoroughly and candidly explain the neurosurgical procedure, including risks and anticipated benefits, preparing for surgery, what to expect, and recovery. Prior to surgery, a full open discussion is encouraged and all questions are answered.

At DuPage Neurosurgery, we do make patient service our focus. We invite you to call and find out more about us. The staff is dedicated to providing patients and their families with clinical neurosurgical expertise and compassionate medical care.
