Our Hospitals
Northern California Neurosurgery uses one local
hospital and one local surgery center. Both are small, private facilities
which offer good, individualized patient care. We use
the ValleyCare medical center in Pleasanton for major procedures (cervical
surgery, major lumbar surgery, etc.) and the
TriValley 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 and the Pleasanton 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.
