Clinics and Care Centers
UW Medicine physicians at the Neurological Surgery Clinic at Harborview specialize in the comprehensive assessment and management of neurological conditions including acute vascular anomalies, brain tumors, aneurysms, movement disorders and diseases of the spine.
The clinic is staffed by attending physicians who evaluate newly referred patients for advanced diagnostic studies and elective procedures. In addition to performing elective procedures, attending physicians, in association with neurosurgery residents, evaluate post-surgical and post-trauma patients during a weekly clinic each Wednesday.

The Neurosurgery Clinic at Seattle Children’s has more pediatric neurosurgeons and neurosurgery nurse practitioners than any other hospital in the Pacific Northwest. Each pediatric neurosurgeon is trained in neurosurgery, as well as the unique needs of babies, children and teens, whose bodies and brains are still developing.
Because of our high level of expertise, surgeons at other hospitals around the region call on us for consultations and refer or transfer children to us for care. We also see patients from around the United States. Read more at Seattle Children's.
