UPMC Neurological Institute in North Central Pa.

Neuroscience is a medical specialty dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of all disorders, conditions, and injuries related to the nervous system. At The UPMC Neurological Institute in Williamsport, we’ve brought together a collaborative team of neurologists, neurosurgeons, and rehabilitation specialists to comprehensively treat diseases of the brain, spinal column, nerves, and muscles.

Treating Neurological Conditions

From stroke and Parkinson’s disease to brain tumors and sleep disorders, our neurologists are committed to excellence in evaluating and treating disorders of the central nervous system.

Advanced Brain and Spine Surgery

When a condition of the brain or spine requires advanced treatment, our fellowship-trained neurosurgeons use traditional surgeries, as well as the latest minimally invasive techniques, which often offer less pain, minimal scarring, and a faster recovery.

Surgery can treat and help provide significant symptom relief for conditions such as:

Back pain
Brain tumors
Stroke
Seizure disorders
