On any given day in metro Detroit, a MHSI neurosurgeon can be found treating an ill and critically injured patient in a local emergency department. It could be a serious injury that caused brain trauma, crushed vertebra in the neck or spine, a brain hemorrhage, a concussion from an injury while playing a sport or bike riding. Even the weekend warrior can experience a herniated disk.
No one plans to end up in the emergency department, yet should that happen to you or a loved one, there’s no doubt you want the right doctor there to deliver the best and right care possible.
Because MHSI has one of the largest neurosurgical practices in the country, chances are that when someone suffers a brain or spine injury, or is at the brink of death, an MHSI neurosurgeon is on-call in nearly every emergency department in southeast Michigan, to help an injured person through the worst day of their life.
