- EpilepsyEpilepsy is a brain disorder that causes recurring seizures. Causes include brain injury, brain tumors, vascular malformations and abnormal brain development.

- MRIStereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) is a distinct discipline that utilizes ionizing radiation to inactivate or eradicate defined target(s) in the head or spine without the need to make an incision. The target is defined by high-resolution CT and MRI imaging. To assure quality of patient care the procedure involves a multidisciplinary team consisting of a neurosurgeon, radiation oncologist, and medical physicist. SRS can be performed in a single session, but may be performed in up to a maximum of five sessions. Technologies that are used to perform SRS include a linear accelerator, robotics and real time image-guidance. Learn more about this procedure and technology.
- RadiologyWhen you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers there may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers can bill you is your plan's in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivist services. These providers can't balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections not to be balance billed.

- Radiation OncologyABS has lead the effort in developing a comprehensive neuro-oncology program rivaling that of the major medical institutions in the US. We have developed a multidisciplinary conference to review and recommend treatment for patients suffering from major cancer diagnoses of the brain and spine. Comprised of fellowship-trained specialists in neuro-oncology, pathology, radiation oncology, and surgery, our team works to design treatment plans individualized for each patient.
- NeurosurgeryAt Austin Brain & Spine, our goal is to treat every patient like he or she is a friend or family member.
