04 Dec Spinal Stenosis & Lower Back Pain with Dr. Vivek Ramakrishnan
Dr. Vivek Ramakrishnan, the renowned spine surgeon representing Advanced Neurosurgery Associates (ANA), hosted a physician lecture on the evening of November 13th, 2019, in New Brunswick, NJ. This lecture was part of an ongoing physician educational series sponsored by Advanced Neurosurgery Associates.
The lecture, presented by Dr. Ramakrishnan, Spinal Stenosis and Lower Back Pain saw over forty-five doctors, neurosurgeons, and nurses from three major hospitals in attendance, including many from the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, Saint Peter’s University Hospital, and Morristown Medical Center.
Physicians at Advanced Neurosurgery Associates boast decades of experience in spine surgery in addition to cranial surgery. Neurosurgery is a small specialty, constituting only 0.5% of all physicians. Dr. Ramakrishnan successfully trained in both neurosurgery and orthopedic spine surgery, his vast experience in treating spinal stenosis made for a comprehensive presentation of the topic which engaged his colleagues in further discussion and study of the condition well into the evening.
“Through our lecture series, we are able to engage with other practitioners, ultimately creating an environment for better patient care through collaboration and continuing education,” said Dr. Ramakrishnan. “As practitioners obtain new information and interact with each other, the standard for the quality of patient care is likely to increase.”
Advanced Neurosurgery Associates provides a comprehensive range of surgical options to treat neurological conditions for adults and children including, pediatric spine disorder, adult and pediatric epilepsy, hydrocephalus, among other issues. Advanced Neurosurgery Associates combines unparalleled expertise and compassionate treatment with the latest technology and research to provide the best possible outcomes for patients young and old.
“Advanced Neurosurgery Associates is committed to the highest standard of patient care, something that I feel is evident in our educational lectures,” said Dr. Arno Fried, Chief of Neurosurgery at three major state hospitals and founder of Advanced Neurosurgery Associates. ”We look forward to reaching out to more medical communities in other counties in New Jersey where we can share our expertise, experience and outcomes with more practitioners we have been so fortunate to be part of to better serve all of our patients.”
