About Our Neurosciences Department

Excellence in Brain, Spine & Nerve Care

The Neurosciences Department at Rosario Medical Center brings together neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, and rehabilitation specialists to provide comprehensive care for conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. From stroke emergencies to chronic neurological conditions, our team delivers precise diagnoses and individualized treatment plans.

Equipped with state-of-the-art neuroimaging, electrophysiology labs, and a dedicated neurosurgical suite, we offer advanced procedures including minimally invasive brain surgery, deep brain stimulation, spinal decompression, and neuro-interventional radiology. Our integrated stroke unit provides rapid-response care to minimize brain damage and optimize recovery.

We also offer comprehensive neuro-rehabilitation services, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology, ensuring patients achieve the best possible functional outcomes after neurological events or surgery.
