Northern California Neurosurgery uses two local hospitals and two local
surgery centers. All are small, private facilities which offer outstanding,
individualized patient care. We use the ValleyCare medical center in Pleasanton
and Saint Rose Hospital in Hayward for major procedures (cervical surgery, major
lumbar surgery, etc.). We use the Pleasanton surgery and Fremont Surgery Center
for minor procedures (blocks, outpatient disc surgery, carpal tunnel surgery,
etc.). You can click the following links for information on the
ValleyCare Medical Center,
Saint Rose Hospital,
the Pleasanton
Surgery Center, and the
Fremont Surgery
Center.
University medical centers, such as Stanford and UCSF, are unparalleled in their ability to care for rare diseases and perform unusual surgeries. For more common problems, such as neck or back pain, patients get better care at smaller hospitals. At the University Hospitals, common problems are treated by the interns. Fully trained attending doctors provide all of the care at the private hospitals.
A full and unbiased report ranking all of the hospitals, based on a number of categories can be found at www.calhospitals.org.
