The SSM Neurosciences Institute at DePaul includes a team of highly experienced neurologists and neurosurgeons who perform the most advanced surgical and non-surgical treatments available for brain tumors, aneurysms, head and spinal cord injuries, herniated discs, back pain and nerve disorders.
Receiving the right care at the right time is the difference between life and death for stroke patients. That's why we also offer comprehensive stroke coverage 24/7. Our on-site team of neurointerventionalists is capable of quickly assessing and treating even the most complex stroke cases.
Our program also covers a beautiful, newly dedicated patient care unit and the most advanced technology available, including a state-of-the-art Biplane Angiography Suite. With it, we can literally pull a blood clot out of the brain, stopping a stroke in its tracks and preventing further damage.
