Neurological conditions we treat

Our partnership with Baylor College of Medicine brings our patients access to some of the nation’s most highly trained and skilled physicians. St. Luke’s Health neurologists offer comprehensive care for a broad range of neurological conditions and brain disorders, giving hope to people who experience strokes and patients with some of the most complex diseases. Using breakthrough research and a collaborative approach with Baylor College of Medicine and other community partners, we are able to help patients recover lost function due to a brain tumor, stroke, or ruptured brain aneurysm. Our facilities offer the latest advancements in neurological medicine to treat patients effectively and with a shorter recovery time. 

Not only do we offer the latest treatment options, but our neurologists and neurosurgeons also continue to develop new and advanced therapies. Building a brain computer to restore vision to the blind and revolutionizing benign pituitary tumor removal are examples of our projects that are progressing the standards of health care—and we are focused on continuing to lead the way in neuroscience for years to come.
