Neurosurgery
The Kaiser Permanente Anaheim Medical Center is Orange County’s premiere Neurological surgical center. With our expertise, technological equipment, and our collaborative effort with various surgical subspecialties, we provide a number of specialized neurological procedures.
The Neurosurgery Department specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the central and peripheral nervous system. These would include brain and spine tumors, complex spine disease requiring surgery, skull-based surgery, and vascular lesions. Our department is the regional sub-specialty care center for Cerebrovascular Disorders.
We strive to bring integrated and interdisciplinary approaches to surgical treatment for stroke and neurovascular conditions, such as brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, Moya Moya disease, cavernous malformations, and dural arteriovenous fistulas. KPOC Anaheim and Irvine are the designated primary stroke centers in Orange County.
