 My name is Anthony Conti. I'm a neurosurgeon at JFK Neuroscience Institute specializing in complex and reconstructive spine surgery. The JFK Neuroscience Institute offers a tremendous advantage for patients because we have neurosurgeons that are involved in a multiple different subspecialty fields of neurosurgery. We have neurosurgeons that specialize specifically in neurovascular disorders or skull-based tumor disorders while other neurosurgeons focus primarily on functional neurosurgery or epilepsy neurosurgery. We work collaboratively as a team in order to treat the entire patient and treat their condition based on each and other person's expertise. JFK University Medical Center offers significant expertise in brain and complex spine surgery that rivals care seen anywhere across the nation or in the world. It takes a significant toll on patients and on patients family members to have to travel long distances knowing that not only are they being treated for a complex disease but that they have to travel potentially several hours while in pain when they can receive excellent comprehensive care right next door and can be in a setting where they know that their loved ones are well taken care of.
