Neurosurgery

Eastern Shore residents in need of surgery for brain and spinal cord tumors can find expert medical care close to home. Since the spring of 2006, Curtis Nelson, MD, PhD, has been providing first-class treatment at The Memorial Hospital at Easton.

Shore Health System formed and trained a top-notch surgical team and invested over $1 million to ensure that Dr. Nelson has all the resources he needs to successfully perform neurosurgery at The Memorial Hospital at Easton. The neuro-navigation equipment allows image-guided surgery, an advanced approach to neurosurgery. The Memorial Hospital at Easton has the same equipment that the larger teaching institutions in the region have and are doing procedures here with excellent results.

In addition to being a member of the Shore Health System medical staff, Dr. Nelson is also on the faculty of the University of Maryland Medical School. Dr. Nelson's partnership with the University of Maryland Medical School offers patients in the Mid-Shore region access to the latest developments in the field of neurosurgery. For those surgical cases he performs at or refers to the University of Maryland Medical Center, he conducts pre-operative screening and provides post-surgical follow up care in his Easton office for the convenience and comfort of patients.
