Robert A. Solomon, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Byron Stookey Professor of NeurosurgeryChairman and Director of Service
Dr. Solomon has specialized in the surgical treatment of cerebrovascular diseases since 1986, and has amassed extensive experience in this area. His special interests are in the identification and definitive treatment of cerebral aneurysms and cerebral arteriovenous malformations before rupture and before the onset of devastating neurological problems. Dr. Solomon has developed an outstanding team of physicians to handle even the most complex problems with minimal invasion and the highest degree of safety. His team includes neuroradiologists and neurosurgeons who are the regional experts in non-surgical endovascular treatment of cerebrovascular diseases. The Gamma Knife program at Columbia University Medical Center is the busiest and most experienced such program in the tri-state area, providing non-surgical Stereotactic Radiosurgery for arteriovenous malfomations. Patients requiring open surgical procedures will benefit from state-of-the-art facilities, a highly experience operative team led by Dr. Solomon, and the finest Neurological Intensive Care facility in the country.
Dr. Solomon's special interests include aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and carotid artery stenosis.
