Expert Neurosurgical Care in Texas
The Center for Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery has offices in five prominent Texas locations—Spring, Conroe, Kingwood, Willis, and The Woodlands—offering a warm and friendly welcome to adults 20 and over. Experienced, board-certified, fellowship-trained neurosurgeon Praveen Reddy, MD, MCh, and the team provide comprehensive care to people suffering from conditions causing back, neck, and head pain.
Dr. Reddy has over 20 years of neurosurgical experience, having completed nearly 3,000 minimally invasive and 600 robotic surgeries. He possesses highly developed clinical skills, enabling him to communicate effectively with patients and their families and support the nursing staff. He performs numerous surgical procedures, including decompression, discectomy, and brain tumor removal. He’s fellowship-trained in neuro-oncology, skull base surgery, and cerebral vascular surgery, working with a multidisciplinary team to provide high-quality care to patients with complex brain and spine disorders.
Surgery is a last resort at the Center for Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery. It is reserved for situations where conservative methods fail. The team ensures patients have exhausted all other treatment measures, including spinal injections, before offering surgery. They specialize in performing minimally invasive procedures using the Mazor™ robotic-assisted system and techniques like endoscopic spinal decompression with the RIWOtrack high-performance electromagnetic navigation system.
Retractorless brain surgery is another of the Center for Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery's team’s areas of expertise. Patients with brain tumors, herniated discs, aneurysms, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and many other painful, disabling conditions benefit from the team’s extensive experience and unrivaled surgical skills.
