Welcome to the

Neurologic Institute

This Institute is composed of nearly 30 nationally & internationally recognized neurosurgeons supported by teams of specialized doctors, nurses and other professionals. The size of the Neurological Institutes exceeds that of any of the region’s “academic” neurosurgery departments, and frequently the Institute’s surgical capability does as well.

Institute Director

Robert Friedlander M.D., M.A.

Dr. Robert M. Friedlander is an internationally recognized neurosurgeon with decades of experience at leading academic medical centers. He specializes in complex cranial conditions, including Chiari malformation, brain tumors, aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and cavernous malformations. Patients come to Dr. Friedlander for initial evaluations and second opinions, particularly when the diagnosis is uncertain, surgery has been recommended, or previous treatment has not resolved the problem. His approach begins with understanding each patient’s individual circumstances and determining whether surgery is appropriate—and, when it is, the best approach. Dr. Friedlander also welcomes referrals from physicians seeking experienced neurosurgical evaluation of complex or previously treated cases.
