Our Neurosciences Program takes a comprehensive approach to evaluation, treatment, and long- range management of neurological diseases and offers the expertise of leading neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, and neurophysiologists.

St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital houses specialized neuro-specific clinical units, which include a 20-Bed Neuro-Intensive Care Unit, a 42- bed Neuro Acute Care Unit and dedicated Neurosurgical operating room suites. All of the Neuro-specific units have RNs that are NIH Stroke Scale certified.   

Interventional Neuroradiology at the NeuroScience Center receives international attention for cutting-edge technology in the prevention and treatment of neurovascular diseases.  The Neurovascular Center, launched in 2005, offers multidisciplinary expertise from renowned interventional neuroradiologists. Neurointensivists, neurologists, and neurosurgeons all work collaboratively with the neurointerventional radiologists to provide many treatment options for neurovascular disorders. They also work closely with internal hospital specialists to utilize diagnostic capabilities.  The first in Houston to utilize the CyberKnife® in a clinical setting for treatment of intracranial tumors, St. Luke’s continues to offer new hope to patients who have surgically complex tumors.

St. Luke’s NeuroScience Center has created the Stroke Partners Network as a way to collaborate with hospitals throughout Texas to provide 24/7 clinical stroke expertise. The Stroke Partners Network provides a consultation service for the treatment of acute stroke patients by utilizing cost-effective and evidence-based protocols that will maximize clinical outcomes and improve overall patient care.

Neurophysiology Services by the NeuroScience Center include pediatric, adult, and geriatric testing of the brain, spinal and peripheral nervous system.  The Neurophysiology laboratory is staffed by neurophysiologists and neurologists certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, with added qualifications in Clinical Neurophysiology and/or by the American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine.

The NeuroScience Center physician leadership team consists of nationally and internationally renowned specialists.  This physician team leads a core group of sub-specialists in neurology and neuro-specialist staff.  All teams collaborate to bring the greatest and latest in state-of-the-art, high quality, compassionate patient care.
