Since 2001, Highlands Neurosurgery has been serving patients from the region with premier medical and clinical services. Founded by Board Certified Neurosurgeons, Dr. Travis Burt and Dr. Matthew Wood, Highlands Neurosurgery is a nationally recognized spine surgery practice located at Bristol Regional Medical Center. The goal of the organization's medical staff is to help patients return to optimal
physical function--with minimized pain and discomfort. These include spinal and intracranial surgery, as well as micro-surgical and minimally invasive techniques designed to treat a broad spectrum of spinal conditions resulting from injury, disease and degenerative processes. The practice is home to the only neurosurgeons in the area who are involved in robotic radiosurgery for the treatment of tumors , and it is highly regarded for providing patients with the most up-to-date, effective surgical treatments available for back and neck conditions. Highlands Neurosurgery accepts patients via physician referral, and patients may self-refer if permitted to do so under their insurance plan. Individuals who have been advised to have spine surgery but desire a second opinion may also schedule a consultation.
